WWE is planning to travel to Saudi Arabia on Saturday, November 7, for its Crown Jewel event.
However, the situation in the region is currently complicated: the United States has recently classified Saudi Arabia at Level 3 of its travel advisory and urges its citizens to reconsider travel plans. Some locations are even classified at Level 4, with a clear instruction not to visit them.
Naturally, this news has sparked a lot of buzz in the wrestling world. Will WWE head to Saudi Arabia despite this advisory? When contacted, a source within the wrestling company says that this topic is being discussed within WWE. The person claims that the November 7 show will take place whatever the location, since WWE has committed to ESPN – the broadcaster of the PLEs in the United States – for that date.
We will have more details on this topic in the coming weeks.
