WWE's second Saudi Arabia PPV of this year, Crown Jewel, is set to take place on October 31, with some big matches announced. While the Saudi Arabia PPVs are held in a grand scale, with several big Superstars featuring on the show, it does cause confusion to WWE's already hectic schedule.

The three Saudi Arabia shows have been held on Fridays, but this time around it'll be held on a Thursday. The mid-week PPV puts a spanner in the works of SmackDown, which is now held on Friday night.

But, WWE seems to be prepared to bring their male Superstars back in time for the SmackDown show. WWE are reportedly going to hire a chartered flight to fly the Superstars back from Saudi Arabia to Buffalo, New York for the SmackDown show the next day, as per Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

At Crown Jewel, Brock Lesnar will put his WWE Championship on the line against his former UFC opponent, Cain Velasquez, who will most likely make his in-ring WWE debut at the show.

The other big match confirmed for the show is boxer Tyson Fury's debut match in WWE against Braun Strowman.
