WWE
WWE are going to be a precarious situation with their upcoming Crown Jewel 2026 premium live event.
While the show is currently scheduled to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the U.S. State department has issued a new security alert for Americans in the Middle East.
This might put the company into a tough scenario where they might have to move their latest PLE to a new United States city.
Here are three potential alternative locations for WWE Crown Jewel 2026 to be held outside of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Las Vegas
Las Vegas has been the home of several major WWE premium live events in the past few years.
WrestleMania 41 and 42 took place in Las Vegas, while other WWE and AAA shows have also taken place in the city.
With the TKO staff and management being local, it makes sense why so many events have occurred there.
Considering the last-minute nature of a potential move for WWE Crown Jewel 2026, it would make sense if the company moved the show to Vegas.
Minneapolis
Another city that has had several different major WWE shows taking place there is Minneapolis, Minnesota.
WWE SummerSlam 2026 took place at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
The company currently has a multi-year deal to hold events in the city and could look to hold another this year.
Crown Jewel 2026 taking place in Minneapolis would be fitting and could even garner a nice audience despite following SummerSlam just a few months earlier.
Indianapolis
One more city that has their own multi-year contract with WWE to hold premium live events is Indianapolis, Indiana.
In 2024, WWE inked a multi-year, multi-event deal with the city to hold major shows.
With WWE Royal Rumble and Wrestlepalooza 2025 taking place at Lucas Oil Stadium, the city has also been promised a future WrestleMania, SummerSlam and other live events there.
Whether it be in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne or Evansville, there is some potential for WWE to head back to Indiana as a last-minute backup plan if they are unable to head to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the November 7 event.
