-- While WWE has removed all references to Saudi Arabia on the Crown Jewel page on their site, the company hasn't released any official statement in regards to their plans and probably won't until at least early next week. Internally, WWE is said to have made Monday sort of a "deadline" in regards to a decision but all signs do appear as if they will continue to have the event and the associated World Cup tournament, but move the PPV to another location. One idea that has been suggested is to move the event to Manchester, England on November 4 as the company is already there November 5 and 6 for Raw and Smackdown and the Sunday before is open. If this happens, it would be the first UK PPV airing worldwide since 1992.
-- Another name not yet announced by WWE but scheduled to appear on Smackdown 1000 is James Ellsworth.
