WWE Going Ahead With Crown Jewel Event Despite Iran’s Threat Of ‘Imminent Attack’

WWE will present their Crown Jewel Premium Live Event in Saudi Arabia this weekend. Fans are certainly excited about the event, as their previous events all turned out to be much better than expected. A major threat to Saudi Arabia put Crown Jewel’s status in doubt, but it seems the show must go on.

As previously reported, Saudi Arabia received a word of warning from the U.S. to an “imminent attack” from Iran. The country is on high alert due to the supposed imminent threat.

According to a report by PW Insider, the company still plans on going ahead with their next premium live event. It was further reported that the necessary security protocols and emergency contingencies have been put in place in anticipation of any major issues.
