The WWE crew traveling to Saudi Arabia is concerned over the reports of a potential imminent strike against the nation by Iran.
This week, it was reported that the Saudi Arabian government has shared intelligence with the United States that warns of an imminent attack.
WWE informed Pwinsider that the show will go ahead as planned.
Brian Alvarez spoke about this subject on Wrestling Observer Live, noting that there are concerns behind the scenes.
“There was a lot of trepidation. Normally the people going on the trip are trepidatious normally going in, but now you have this on top of everything else, so … it appears that the show must go on, and hopefully, everything turns out all right.”
WWE Crown Jewel will be the fourth event under the name, and the latest in WWE’s lucrative deal with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The event will be headlined by Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns defending against Logan Paul.
