Next week’s WWE Crown Jewel Premium Live Event (PLE) is being shifted to a new venue in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
It was announced on Wednesday evening that the November 7 event is no longer expected to take place in the Riyadh Season Stadium, which was opened earlier this year when the country hosted the 2026 Royal Rumble.
Tickets for the event will be refunded and a new venue will be announced within the next two days, they said.
نود التنويه أنه تقرر نقل عرض "WWE كراون جول" إلى موقع جديد، وسيتم استرداد كامل قيمة التذاكر لجميع المشترين، على أن يُعاد طرح التذاكر للجميع خلال الـ48 ساعة المقبلة.

“We would like to inform you that “WWE Crown Jewel” has been moved to a new venue,” the statement said. “All ticket holders will receive a full refund, and tickets will be re-released to everyone within the next 48 hours.”
Since the announcement was made, a report from Fightful Select has clarified that the event is still expected to take place in Riyadh, just in a new venue.
Many have wondered over the past few weeks whether recent attacks on the country by the Iran-backed Houthi militia would cause WWE’s show to be moved out of Saudi Arabia or rescheduled. This change seems possibly unrelated to such worries, although the exact reasoning wasn’t provided on Wednesday.
