Chairman of Saudi’s General Entertainment Authority Turki Alalshikh promotes Crown Jewel on X

Turki Alalshikh, the Chairman of the Saudi Arabia General Entertainment Authority promoted Crown Jewel on X today, specifically the Roman Reigns vs Sami Zayn match.

While fans and critics have been calling for WWE to cancel the event, or at least move it away from a war zone, the company is steadfast in holding the event in the Kingdom, collecting their $50 million check in the process.

The Crown Jewel temporary arena is almost complete, with the stage now being set up and unless there’s a big catastrophe closer to the event date, the show will go on in its intended location.

An event which was set for this month in Riyadh, the Six Kings Slam tennis tournament, was eventually rescheduled for late December.

The U.S. Department of State continues to advise against traveling to Saudi Arabia or neighboring countries due to attacks from the Houthi rebels, but the advisory stops short of banning travel outright.
