WWE’s decision to move Crown Jewel 2026 to a different venue was reportedly prompted by security concerns.

According to Fightful Select, the switch from an outdoor stadium to an indoor arena was unrelated to ticket sales. WWE is also reportedly planning to run the event with a smaller crew than usual.

Crown Jewel takes place on November 7 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The show was originally booked for Riyadh Season Stadium at KAFD, before Riyadh Season announced a venue change on October 28. ANB Arena, previously known as The Venue, has since been confirmed as the new location.

Four matches have been announced so far: the men’s and women’s Crown Jewel Championship matches, a Last Man Standing match and a WWE World Tag Team Championship match.
