— Apart from the money issue that played a big factor in WWE going ahead with Crown Jewel, WWE was said to have little in the way of options on where to move the PPV to if things fell through in Saudi Arabia, reports the Observer Newsletter.

— One of the plans being talked about was to hold the show in Manchester either on 11/3 or 11/4 before the 11/5 and 11/6 tapings the week after, but that arrangement was said to be a “logistical nightmare.” The other option of moving the show later in the month to a destination in the United States was also said to be problematic to do on such short notice with many arenas fully booked.
