Backstage News On Whether WWE Has Considered Moving Crown Jewel Out Of Saudi Arabia

WWE reportedly remains committed to holding Crown Jewel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on November 7 despite ongoing attacks in the country. According to PWInsider Elite, WWE has not discussed relocating the event, and it continues to monitor the security situation closely. The company has reportedly consulted Saudi government officials and a private security firm specialising in the region, whose approval will be crucial to proceeding with the show. Reports suggesting Crown Jewel could move to Europe have also been dismissed. WWE reinforced its plans during Raw by advertising Sami Zayn vs. Roman Reigns and Chelsea Green vs. Liv Morgan for the event, while Triple H promoted Crown Jewel on social media.

Max Caster Addresses Controversial TNA Rap

Max Caster has apologised to TNA officials after a controversial rap ended his involvement with the promotion following Bound For Glory. Caster referenced the attacks on Riyadh during his entrance before answering Moose’s open challenge, prompting TNA to announce that he would no longer wrestle for the company. In an Instagram video, Caster apologised to TNA president Carlos Silva, company officials, and those who helped secure his appearance, acknowledging he had gone too far and accepting the consequences. However, he stopped short of apologising to anyone offended by the rap, insisting he meant to entertain rather than upset people. Caster also expressed pride in his match against Moose.

Seth Rollins breaks silence on PAC’s passing

Seth Rollins has paid an emotional tribute to former WWE rival PAC, also known as Neville, following his death shortly after AEW All Out. Speaking on No Contest Wrestling, Rollins described Benjamin Satterley as a funny, loyal and humble individual who was admired by his fellow wrestlers for both his exceptional in-ring ability and kindness towards others. Rollins recalled first meeting PAC during a European tour when he was 21, admitting that he was so impressed by the wrestling skills that he jokingly considered changing careers. Despite their previous encounters in WWE and NXT, Rollins emphasised that PAC’s greatest legacy, to those who knew him, would be the person he was outside the ring.
