There aren’t too many WWE premium live events that stir up feelings as widely varied as WWE Crown Jewel.
Just its existence is somewhat controversial, the result of a big money, multi-year contract WWE signed with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Sport to bring annual big cards to that country. Some wrestlers boycotted the first few shows, and women’s wrestlers were not on the card the first year.
Stances toward Crown Jewel have seemed to soften somewhat over time, or at the very least, fans have accepted that it is part of WWE’s annual schedule. The company initially leaned heavily on nostalgia when assembling the cards — hence Kane and The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels and Triple H as the main event on the first show in 2018 — but now treats it more or less like any premium live event on its slate.
