• WWE Facing Problem In Saudi Arabia After Crown Jewel 2019
After a successful Crown Jewel 2019 PPV, WWE has to quickly turn it’s attention towards tonight’s SmackDown.
Multiple WWE Superstars (such as Roman Reigns, King Corbin, Kofi Kingston, Big E, SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Revival and new Universal Champion “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt) that went to Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel are advertised for SmackDown and it looks like they won’t be able to make it in time.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful is reporting the following:
“There’s a developing situation with WWE in Saudi Arabia. Most of the talent is still there and ‘delayed’. Many probably won’t make it back for SmackDown.”
