WWE Crown Jewel is reportedly moving to Kingdom Arena in Riyadh.
According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, that is the current plan for the November 7 event. Meltzer stressed that the information was accurate as of this hour, which means the plan could still change before the show.
The report follows the announcement from Riyadh Season on October 28 that Crown Jewel was moving to a new venue. That announcement said all ticket holders would receive a full refund, and tickets would be re-released within 48 hours. It did not name the new venue.
Kingdom Arena is an indoor venue in Riyadh with a capacity of around 30,000. WWE has run there before, including Night of Champions in June 2026. Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio that the move from an outdoor venue to an indoor venue was a Saudi Arabia decision, based on the view that it is safer to run the show indoors.
Fightful Select reported that many people at WWE headquarters only learned about the venue move when Riyadh Season announced it on social media. WWE has not issued its own official announcement naming a new venue, and its website still listed the event at Riyadh Season Stadium at KAFD in the latest reporting.
Crown Jewel remains scheduled for Saturday, November 7. The card includes Roman Reigns against Sami Zayn for the men’s Crown Jewel Championship, Liv Morgan against Chelsea Green for the women’s Crown Jewel Championship, Cody Rhodes against Randy Orton, and The Vision against Penta and Je’Von Evans.
What is confirmed is the Riyadh Season announcement, the refund and re-release plan, and the date. What is not confirmed is an official WWE announcement naming Kingdom Arena, or a reason for the move from WWE itself.
