Five alternative locations named for WWE Crown Jewel 2026 as U.S. issues Level 3 travel advisory
WWE's Crown Jewel 2026 was scheduled for Saturday, November 7, 2026, at the Riyadh Season Stadium at KAFD in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The U.S. Department of State issued a Level 3: Reconsider Travel advisory for Saudi Arabia as of September 2026, prompting questions about the event's venue.
With the travel advisory and reports of a war crisis prevailing in the city, multiple WWE employees have reportedly asked whether the Riyadh location could be changed, revised, or the event rescheduled. Khel Now has outlined five potential replacement sites should WWE opt to relocate Crown Jewel. The suggestions draw on recent WWE event history and markets where the company has staged Premium Live Events.
Las Vegas is listed first, with the article noting the city has hosted two back-to-back WrestleManias since 2025 and also hosted the WrestleMania 40 kick-off event. The piece adds that WWE has been highly inclined toward Vegas, making it a candidate to stage Crown Jewel.
Berlin, Germany, appears as a second option; the article states it has been over two years since WWE held a Premium Live Event there and that the last event in the city was "Bash in Berlin." Khel Now suggests Berlin could serve as an alternative host for the Crown Jewel PLE.
According to multiple reports cited in the article, Nashville, Tennessee, was the frontrunner to host WrestleMania 43 before it went to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Khel Now includes Nashville among the possible venues that could receive a major WWE event if Crown Jewel is moved.
The piece identifies France as another candidate, saying the WWE Universe in France has been identified as one of the loudest and most enthralling fan bases and noting the country has already hosted multiple PLEs like Backlash and Clash in Paris. France is presented as a top choice to replace Saudi Arabia for organizing Crown Jewel.
London is also mentioned, with the article noting that the 17-time World Champion John Cena himself once said that London deserved to host a WrestleMania. Khel Now proposes that hosting a major event such as Crown Jewel could begin that process for the city.
