Stephanie McMahon On WWE Moving Forward With Crown Jewel

WWE has confirmed in their third-quarter earnings report that Crown Jewel will take place as originally planned. WWE presents the Crown Jewel pay-per-view event on November 2nd, 2018 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia at the King Saud University Stadium and will air on the WWE Network.

Stephanie McMahon called it an “incredibly tough decision,” but also a “business decision” while speaking with Sky News.

“Moving forward with Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia was an incredibly tough decision, given that heinous act,” McMahon said. “But, at the end of the day, it is a business decision and, like a lot of other American companies, we decided that we’re going to move forward with the event and deliver Crown Jewel for all of our fans in Saudi Arabia and around the world.”
