WWE have their next pay-per-view, Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia this week, and there are a lot of exciting matches announced. Brock Lesnar is set to take on Cain Velasquez for the first time in WWE while another first time ever match will see Braun Strowman go up against Tyson Fury.

Corey Graves was talking to Sports Illustrated when he revealed how the WWE Superstars felt about the PPV taking place in the Middle East. He said:

"It's a long, gruelling trip over there, but most of the talent like it because it's a pretty good pay day. To me, it's super exciting to have these totally unusual attractions like Cain Velasquez-Brock Lesnar and Tyson Fury-Braun Strowman. If you take any sort of political feeling out of the equation, aren't you, as a fan of WWE, aren't you curious and excited to watch these attractions?"

There are a few Superstars like Daniel Bryan, Kevin Owens and John Cena who have refused to go to the Middle East to perform.
