Saudi Arabia Raises Security Alert Level; WWE Crown Jewel Still Expected to Take Place


-- According to The Wall Street Journal, Saudi Arabia has shared intelligence with the U.S. warning of an imminent attack from Iran on targets in the kingdom, putting the American military and others in the Middle East on an elevated alert level, said Saudi and U.S. officials. The relevance to this of course is that WWE is headed to Saudi Arabia this week to hold the Crown Jewel event on Saturday, causing some to wonder whether the show would continue to go on in light of the elevated threat level.

-- PWInsider.com reports that as of now, WWE is fully planning on moving forward with the show and that the company already has security protocols and emergency contingencies in place for any issues that could potentially arise. WWE is hopeful that Crown Jewel can go on without a hitch but are prepared in case things get worse.
