Turki Alalshikh Pushes Crown Jewel Amid Increased Safety Fears

The Minister and Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority in Saudi Arabia has posted a video promoting Crown Jewel as the event continues to draw criticism and safety concerns.

Turki Alalshikh posted on X: “Roman Reigns takes on Sami Zayn for the WWE Crown Jewel Championship at RiyadhSeason 🔥🏆November 7 🗓️ Riyadh Season Stadium – KAFD 📍Book your ticket now.”

Alalshikh is a Saudi Arabian government official and one of the most influential figures in international boxing and combat sports. He is an adviser to Saudi Arabia’s Royal Court.

The post has received various reactions from fans:

The United States Government continues with a Level 3 travel advisory for Saudi Arabia advising traveler to reconsider “travel to Saudi Arabia due to risk of drone and missile targeting of American interests by Iran and the Iranian-supported Houthis, armed conflict, terrorism, exit bans, and local laws regarding social media activity.”

It is also stated: “Iranian-supported Houthis have engaged in hostilities against Saudi Arabia, including attacks on civilian airports and other critical infrastructure resulting in civilian casualties and severe travel disruptions. The hostilities have the potential to escalate rapidly beyond that immediate area. There is risk of terrorist violence, including terrorist attacks and other activity in Saudi Arabia.”

A few days ago, the Department of State ordered non-emergency U.S. government employees and U.S. government employee family members to leave Saudi Arabia due to safety risks.

Houthi movement has declared today that it attacked the King Khalid International Airport once again and yesterday coalition forces reported intercepting drones and missiles directed toward Riyadh and southern Saudi Arabia.

Despite this, PWInsider confirms that the WWE had begun setting up for the event.
