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.
While there is still no word on the nature of his injury, there is currently no timetable for Erik of the Viking Raiders to return. Ivar will be utilized as a singles talent going forward.
