WWE Rumor Mill: Renee Young providing commentary at Crown Jewel PPV

What's the Story?

Raw Commentator Renee Young will get to make history for WWE once again following the news that she will provide commentary for the Crown Jewel pay-per-view hailing from Saudi Arabia.

In Case You Didn't Know...

Young joined the Raw commentary booth for the first time earlier this year to fill in for Jonathan Coachman but was eventually made an official member of the commentary team in September.

She has provided commentary for Hell in a Cell, Super Show-Down and Evolution thus far.

The Heart of the Matter

Pro Wrestling Sheet reported that Young joining the commentary team for Crown Jewel has been in the works since she became a permanent member of the Raw commentary team.

However, there is no information on any potential guidelines she may have to follow due to Saudi Arabia's treatment of women.

The country's culture and treatment of women has been a major point of contention from wrestling fans since news of WWE's multi-million dollar deal with Saudi Arabia broke this summer.

One of the biggest issues fans had prior to the death of Jamal Khashoggi was the exclusion of the women's wrestlers for WWE's shows in the region - a decision that is still in effect.

WWE has a $450 million deal with the Saudi Arabian government to host shows in the region for the next 10 years, but the company has been heavily criticized for that deal following the death of Khashoggi.

John Cena and Daniel Bryan were rumored to have refused to perform at Crown Jewel, but only Cena's absence has been confirmed by WWE at the time of this writing.

What's Next?

Crown Jewel takes place this Friday, November 2 and will emanate from the King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

With WWE's women's wrestlers still absent from the show, the company will more than likely push Young joining the commentary booth for the show as a part of the progressiveness of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
