Interestingly, 78-year-old McMahon, and The Undertaker, were in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to witness the boxing match between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou. McMahon stated at the event, that Boulevard Hall, the venue where the boxing match was held, is special to WWE, and will be their new home in the future.
Hence, Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio noted that Vince McMahon is already in Saudi Arabia and would almost certainly be attending Crown Jewel, as it is in his "new home."
"Vince is there. He's not gonna skip the show, it's his new home," Meltzer said. [1:53 - 2:00]

In an interview with MMA Junkie at the boxing event, The Deadman mentioned Saudi Arabia's progress in the field of combat sports entertainment.
He mirrored McMahon's remarks, claiming that The Kingdom was becoming a significant location for sporting events.
"I believe they're awesome. It's a commitment that you can tell that they're making to bring the absolute, most outstanding sporting events and entertainment. They're trying to bring it here, and they're doing everything possible to make that happen," The Undertaker said.
Only time will tell if the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment will appear at Crown Jewel this Saturday.
