WWE Crown Jewel 2026 is still scheduled to take place on Saturday, November 7, in Riyadh — Saudi Arabia, despite new security concerns following a deadly missile strike at King Khalid International Airport. The October 10 attack has raised questions about whether the company will proceed with its upcoming premium live event (PLE).
Per Dave Meltzer on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE did not promote the pay-per-view during final Saturday’s Money in the Bank broadcast. As an added layer to this, meltzer speculated that WWE might wait until postponement becomes unavoidable before announcing a final decision to cancel the event. He noted that there are understandable concerns among WWE personnel regarding traveling to the region given the current security situation.
Meltzer on top of that floated the idea of that it is likely WWE will move Crown Jewel to a different location. This decision could come within the week, but WWE may also choose to delay their announcement until a later date. However, he mentioned that the company would not announce any changes until a final decision is made. Regardless, WWE is unlikely to communicate anything until they determine definitively that Crown Jewel will no longer take place.
