WWE’s upcoming event, Crown Jewel, is set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, but the weather conditions are causing concern among the talent and staff. Reports have indicated that heavy rains are forecasted for the weekend, which could significantly impact the outdoor event. According to WWE’s internal communications, the only thing that everyone is worried about is the potential rain that could dampen the show.
WWE typically uses outdoor stadiums with canopies for a variety of reasons, including providing a site for production equipment and protecting the ring in case of rain. However, this time around, the weather may not cooperate. The Mohammed Abdu Arena, where the event is scheduled to take place, could be a wet and soggy experience for fans.
The concern about the weather is not just limited to the event itself, but also extends to the impact it could have on the WWE Superstars after the show is over. Heavy rains may make it difficult for the wrestlers to travel or get around in the days following the event.

Fans who have attended previous WWE events in Saudi Arabia have come to expect a lot from the afternoon premium live events, but this time around, they won’t get the traditional pre-show press conference. Instead, they may get to experience the novelty of a rainy show, which could be a significant distraction from the action in the ring.
WWE’s willingness to take on the risk of hosting events in Saudi Arabia has been a topic of discussion among fans. While it provides an opportunity for the company to reach a new audience and generate significant revenue, it also comes with unique challenges, such as the risk of weather-related disruptions.
Ultimately, only time will tell how WWE’s Crown Jewel event turns out. Fingers crossed that the rain holds off, and the Superstars can put on a show to remember.
