As noted, despite WWE being under a PR storm from mainstream media and U.S. Senators to hold off on the event, WWE confirmed Crown Jewel would take place from Saudi Arabia anyway.
Since the decision to go forward with Crown Jewel was made, Stephanie McMahon spoke with Sky News, calling it an “incredibly tough decision,” but also a “business decision.”
“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.”
