Official press release (via WWE’s official Arabic website) :

The Saudi Arabian General Sports Authority will host the WWE Crown Jewel show at King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Thursday, October 31 at 8 pm local time. Tickets are available on Monday, September 30 at 6 pm local time via TicketMX.com. Tickets start at SAR 25.

The WWE Crown Jewel show is a highlight of the Riyadh season, with a host of WWE stars such as Seth Rollins, Kofi Kingston, Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt, Braun Strowman, The New Day, Randy Orton, AJ Styles, and Rey Mysterio alongside a special appearance from WWE Hall of Fame members Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair. The event will also include the return of Mansoor to his homeland, the first Saudi star in WWE born in Riyadh and was able to win the biggest battle Royal Battle in the history of WWE during the Super Showdown held in Jeddah last June.

This event likely will cause potential travel fatigue issues for those involved from the SmackDown brand due to that week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown taking place the following night in Buffalo, New York.
