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 Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
One of the plans being talked about was to hold the show in Manchester either on November 3rd or November 4th before The November 5th and November 6th 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.
