What if WWE doesn’t put on Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia?

3. A domestic sellout

The sensational card for Crown Jewel should sell out any regular WWE arena, even on short notice.

While WWE would be in an awkward spot trying to move a Network special a mere two weeks or so before its set to air, there is some reassurance. WWE has thrown about everything it has at this show, including the historical importance of Shawn Michaels getting back in the ring, a star-studded Universal Championship match, and the potential for a five-star WWE Championship match.

With all of that potential and significance to WWE’s trajectory moving forward, it’s entirely reasonable to think that this show could sell out an arena in a major market on short notice.

Heck, in addition to local fans, there’s a fair enough argument that this would be a big enough card to justify fans flying in for it the way they would for a big five PPV, particularly with the electricity of the last minute venue change helping to push spontaneous decision making on the part of the ticket buyers.
