WWE is reportedly discussing contingency plans for this year’s Crown Jewel event following an updated travel advisory issued by the U.S. State Department.

Crown Jewel remains scheduled for November 7 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, but recent reports indicate company officials have begun internal conversations about the situation after Saudi Arabia was placed under a Level 3 “Reconsider Travel” advisory. According to the report, WWE still intends to hold an event on that date, even if circumstances were to require a change in location.

The advisory cites regional security concerns, including the threat of missile and drone attacks, as well as risks related to armed conflict and terrorism. While Saudi Arabia as a whole is listed at Level 3, certain areas near the Yemen border are designated Level 4, which advises against travel.

Discussion about the situation surfaced during a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, where Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer addressed the advisory and its potential impact on WWE’s upcoming international schedule. Meltzer noted that Crown Jewel is the immediate concern, while also pointing out that WrestleMania 43 is currently scheduled for Riyadh in 2027.

Additional reporting from WrestleVotes stated that internal discussions are taking place within WWE regarding the travel advisory. While no final decision has reportedly been made, a company source confirmed the matter is being evaluated.

According to the report, WWE is expected to hold a show on November 7 regardless of whether it ultimately takes place in Riyadh. The date itself is reportedly tied to an ESPN-related commitment, making the event difficult to move from the calendar even if the venue were to change.

The company has already adjusted its schedule leading into Crown Jewel, with Raw and SmackDown reportedly set for a rare double taping at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center prior to the event, giving talent and staff additional travel flexibility.

Financial considerations have also been part of the discussion. Alvarez noted that significant revenue is associated with the event, while Meltzer suggested that, if necessary, WWE could potentially make up a postponed Saudi event later under its existing agreement rather than losing that revenue outright.

This is not the first time WWE has monitored developments in the region before a major Saudi Arabia event. Earlier this year, the company reportedly evaluated regional tensions before ultimately proceeding with scheduled plans. WWE President Nick Khan previously stated that the company relies on both internal security assessments and government guidance when determining whether international travel is appropriate.

As of now, Crown Jewel remains scheduled for Riyadh on November 7, and WWE has not announced any changes to the event.
