WWE commentator Michael Cole has revealed whether he was worried about a potential Iran attack while WWE was in Saudi Arabia.
On November 5, WWE hosted its Crown Jewel premium live event from the Mrsool Park in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Ahead of the event, the Wall Street Journal published a report detailing Saudi Arabia sharing intelligence of a warning of imminent attack from Iran in the country.
While WWE operated on ‘high alert’ amid attack concerns, Michael Cole has noted that he was ‘not at all’ worried about the invasion threat.
“Not at all. There was a threat, but we were in the capital city of Riyadh. We had assurance from a number of different places including the State Department.”
In the main event of the premium live event, influencer Logan Paul unsuccessfully challenged for Roman Reigns’ Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
New statistics have emerged proving that Logan Paul has had a big impact on WWE interest, which you can read more about right here.
