According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com, WWE talent arrived back in South Carolina today after being in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the 2026 Crown Jewel PLE.

Johnson addressed reports of another missile attack on Riyadh, noting that the WWE roster had already left the country before the attack occurred. Some WWE staff may still be in Riyadh assisting with the breakdown of the arena and production equipment, but PWInsider has not received any reports of anyone associated with the company being affected.

Johnson also stated the following…

“We are told the majority WWE roster actually flew into Bahrain, a neighboring country, and traveled from there by bus into Riyadh. The belief is some names traveled via private plane directly in and out of Riyadh but that was the exception, not the norm.”

False Finish reported that “the promos that aired on the WWE Crown Jewel post show were all shot during the show except Roman [Reigns] and Sami [Zayn] so that the talent and crew could pack up and leave almost immediately following the event.”
