Several fans in attendance at the Nassau Coliseum during the Evolution pay-per-view noted that there were loud boos when the Crown Jewel commercial aired in the arena.
The production staff quickly shut off the video feed in the arena while the commercial continued playing for the people at home. Once again, there was no mention of Saudi Arabia in the commercial.
We don’t know who’s decision it was to air that commercial during an all-women’s pay-per-view but it was clearly a bad idea.
Here is a clip with fans booing while Cole promoted the show. We’re told that the crowd audio was lowered here and it was much louder than it came across on TV.

lmao Crown Jewel being booed like crazy— optimistic bayley fan account (@ChrisMNovak) October 29, 2018
They made the mistake of showing the feed on the commentary while discussing Crown Jewel. Whole arena booed at the graphic and they panicked and shut the monitor off #WWEEvolution #WWECrownJewel— FR▲NK +∨∨EE+s (@FrankTweets) October 29, 2018

Right now it’s getting pretty filled. It’s mostly hardcore fans. So prepare to hear boos. They showed a promotion for Crown Jewel on the big screen and everyone booed. YIKES.— Duane Miller 🎃🔪 (@Cinemaniac94) October 28, 2018
