Added 2022-11-07 19:29:18 +0000 UTCWWE seems happy with how Crown Jewel ended up.
A memo today to WWE executives detailed that Crown Jewel surpassed Clash at the Castle to become the most-viewed international PLE in company history.
In terms of global audience figures, the Top 5 Saudi events are:
1) Crown Jewel 2022
2) Greatest Royal Rumble 2018
3) Elimination Chamber 2022
4) Crown Jewel 2021
5) Super ShowDown 2019
WWE also touted 7 figure viewership for the show on Peacock in the US
UPDATE: There is an active plan to head back to Saudi Arabia in May 2023.

2022-11-07 20:55:56 +0000 UTCStill gross that they hold events there. But I mean, that's giving them more money than basically every single Wrestlemania show combined. Part of me (the capitalist part) gets it. Most of me really feels gross about it.

2022-11-07 20:30:01 +0000 UTCBut seriously, that's fine for them. It is literally why WWE hasn't gotten any of my money or attention since the Saudi shows started. Sportswashing is reason enough for me to be Sports Entertained elsewhere.
