WWE announce team to call Crown Jewel 2026 remotely from U.S

Summary

The WWE announce team will call Crown Jewel 2026 from Stamford, Connecticut, rather than Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This decision is part of a broader strategy due to safety concerns amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East. The reduced on-site staff includes camera and sound crews present in Riyadh to support the remote production. WWE has also altered the venue, moving the event to the ANB Arena, which accommodates 6,000 fans, following a directive from the Saudi Arabian government. Commentary will be managed remotely, raising questions about the logistics of the broadcast.
