WWE prepares for Crown Jewel amid travel concerns

Summary

WWE Crown Jewel 2026 is scheduled for November 7 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Concerns regarding potential travel risks stem from a U.S. Department of State advisory against travel to Riyadh due to possible missile and drone strikes from Iran. Despite these risks, wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer stated that WWE would not incur financial losses if unable to attend, as the company could reschedule its contract dates. WWE President Nick Khan confirmed the organization continues to monitor the situation, aiming for future events in Saudi Arabia, including WrestleMania 43 in April 2027.
