Report: WWE to Make Decision on Crown Jewel PPV By Wednesday


-- According to a story by The Wrap, WWE officials are waiting for Turkey to announce what they found from their investigation into the killing of a Washington Post columnist at which time they will then decide the future of next week's Crown Jewel PPV.

As of Monday, WWE was waiting for Turkey to announce details from its investigation into the killing of the Washington Post columnist before it makes a final call about whether to hold the event in Saudi Arabia. The report is expected on Tuesday. Due to time zone differences, WWE will likely not have a decision before Tuesday night’s “SmackDown” episode. But the brass are expected to make a call on Wednesday. WWE could stay the course, despite inevitable criticism, or scramble to move the event to a new location. A third option, of course, is to cancel or postpone “Crown Jewel."

-- The story also mentions how "WWE talent have been instructed to promote the event — but not its location — for two weeks now, ever since the search for (Jamal) Khashoggi turned into a murder investigation, with the Saudi Arabian government as the prime suspect."
