The WWE Crown Jewel pay-per-view event takes place on November 2nd, 2018 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia at the King Saud University Stadium and will air on the WWE Network. Both Raw and SmackDown brands will be featured.
There is a situation regarding the backlash of the disappearance of Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi, who was a Saudi Arabian national who had been critical of aspects of the country in his reporting.
Despite the backlash and pressure on the WWE, PWinsider is reporting that they are still going forward with Crown Jewel as WWE is still internally working on logistics and production aspects for the show.
