The majority of the WWE roster is slated to leave for Riyadh, Saudi Arabia tomorrow for the 2023 Crown Jewel event. The one exception we are told is John Cena, who is actually already there. The belief among those we've spoken with is that Vince McMahon and possibly even Ari Emanuel would be at the event.
There will not be a Press Conference event on Friday before the PPV. We are told that talents will be utilized locally to promote the forthcoming opening of the WWE Experience that was previously announced for Riyadh, which will feature a WWE store, a dark ride, and other immersive experiences. So WWE stars will be doing appearances to promote that permanent attraction, the first of its kind for WWE. I believe the WWE Experience opens in early 2024 officially and is slated to be in a 40,000 square foot building. My gut is we'll see promotion for it on the Crown Jewel PPV and that if we ever see some sort of physical WWE Hall of Fame attraction, this would likely be the template.
There is currently no timetable for Erik of the Viking Raiders to return. Ivar will be utilized as a singles talent going forward.

With Tony Khan’s “important announcement, there has been plenty of speculation regarding a potential broadcast or streaming home for AEW. As of a few weeks ago, there hadn’t been a deal reached between WBD and AEW for Max, but WWE and Universal did reach a deal for Smackdown fairly recently.
Fightful Select has learned that one deal may affect the other in certain ways.
NBCUniversal was eager to land Smackdown, which has been viewed as the top Smackdown show as far as viewership and being “football proof.” However, sports may play a role in the dominoes falling.
WBD contacts spoke with Fightful and confirmed a rumor that we heard that they expect NBCU and USA Network to make a bid on NBA programming rights, which have been a staple of TNT for years. This would likely affect the budget that could exist for USA/Universal getting Raw and NXT as well. NBA is expecting a massive increase for the TV rights in 25-26.
This would also affect WBD’s budget, in the event that they somehow lose the NBA. AEW and WBD as of a few weeks ago were unable to come to terms on a deal which we’re told would include AEW television rights, PPV, as well as the library. Those at WBD stated that Khan has a a particular value that he believes the AEW library is worth.
WBD sources that we spoke to said that they’ve been very happy with the AEW partnership and look for it to continue. When we asked about viewership numbers that are often the talking point, one source there noted that it isn’t anything that the company hadn’t anticipated, especially going up against football in the fall.
