Despite mounting controversy and backlash over the decision to hold a PPV event in Saudi Arabia after the disappearance and presumed murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, it looks like Crown Jewel is still scheduled to take place.
This decision has understandably not gone down well in many circles, and has now given WWE some mainstream press.
On his Last Week Tonight show, John Oliver called out the company:
"As for the WWE, while they say they are monitoring the situation, their gigantic Crown Jewel event is still scheduled for November, meaning John Cena could well be back there [praising Saudi Arabia again], which I guess in this context means you don't see these human rights abuses right here," Oliver said as he mocked Cena's "you can't see me" hand gesture.
