Crown Jewel may be in trouble according to former WWE employee (Exclusive)

Wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell feels WWE Crown Jewel could be in jeopardy due to recent developments on the world stage.

WWE announced that the Crown Jewel event will be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The mega event is scheduled for November 4 and will feature top stars from both RAW and SmackDown.

This week on Smack Talk, Mantell mentioned that the Saudi Arabia show could be impacted by the recent conflict between Israel and Palestine. He suggested that the unrest could spread quickly and may force the company to reschedule the event. The former WWE employee hoped things would get better in time for the premium live event.

"Hey, hey. That Saudi Arabia date may be up in the air with all that trouble they have over there. I'm not saying, I don't know. But, that is really, the Gaza trouble, they spread. I hope it doesn't but they may have a tough time having it over there." [From 20:00 - 20:25]
