New Venue Revealed for WWE Crown Jewel Following Location Change
WWE Crown Jewel will take place at The Venue, also known as ANB Arena, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday, November 7, after organizers shifted the event from its original outdoor setting.
The ticketing page for the premium live event was updated to reflect the new indoor location, which holds up to 25,000 spectators. The show was originally scheduled for the Riyadh Season Stadium at KAFD, an outdoor venue with a seating capacity exceeding 70,000.
Riyadh Season Issues Refunds Before Re-Releasing Tickets
When Riyadh Season announced the relocation on October 28, organizers issued full refunds to all existing ticket buyers. The ticketing platform stated that seats would be re-released within a 48-hour window.
The official ticketing platform, Webook, currently displays a “Notify Me” option for prospective buyers as fans await the new ticket drop. The venue change puts the wrestling event in the exact same location scheduled to host the boxing match between Canelo Alvarez and Christian Mbilli.
Houthi Attacks Cause Flight Cancellations in Riyadh
The venue adjustment follows weeks of uncertainty regarding events in the region. Ongoing security concerns stemmed from recent attacks targeting infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, specifically King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh.
November 7 Card Features Several Championship Bouts
Despite the logistical shifts, the November 7 card remains intact with several championship bouts. World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns is scheduled to face Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn for the Men’s Crown Jewel Championship, though that lineup depends on outcomes from Friday night television matches. Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan is set to meet WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green for the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship. Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton will square off in a Last Man Standing Match, while World Tag Team Champions Bron Breakker and Austin Theory defend against Penta and Je’Von Evans.
The event streams live globally beginning at 12:00 pm ET and 9:00 am PT, airing on the ESPN Unlimited app in the United States and on Netflix internationally.
