The situation in Saudi Arabia took a turn for the worse and legit questions are now being raised about the feasibility of holding WWE Crown Jewel in the country next month.

A Houthi attack on the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh yesterday left 12 dead and 300 wounded, disrupting air traffic and making it the worst attack on the Kingdom in over a decade.

Crown Jewel is less than a month away, set for Saturday, November 7 at a temporary outdoor stadium in Riyadh. WWE is not holding any other TV shows there during the weekend and the crew will leave immediately following the conclusion of the show to minimize the time in the country.

But different industry insiders are also now reporting that there are several within the company who are questioning the decision to still go ahead with the show despite the obvious dangers that are currently in place.

WWE is paid around $50 million per show as part of a 10-year deal with Saudi Arabia, a deal which is coming up in 2028 and one which is not definite of being renewed since the Kingdom is cutting back on some of its spending on sports.

One way or another, Crown Jewel will take place, be it in Riyadh or somewhere else as WWE has contractual obligations with both ESPN and Netflix to provide a set number of premium live events per year.
