The Saudi-based PLE will take place on 4th November at the Mohammed Abdu Arena in Riyadh. Fans have come to expect high-quality entertainment at Saudi PLEs recently. But they might find themselves facing rain – a scenario that was not part of the original plan.

WWE has expressed concerns about the weather leading up to Crown Jewel. The Mohammed Abdu Arena in Riyadh might end up being a damp experience for the fans. The weather forecast reads Saturday: Heavy rain and thunder from 1 pm to 5 pm, chance of rain before Crown Jewel at 8 pm. Evening warm, reaching highs of 25°C.

WWE insider BWE shared a tweet, “The only thing everyone is worried about are the supposed heavy rains coming in this weekend,”

WWE typically opts for outdoor stadiums with a canopy for various practical reasons. This provides a structure to support production equipment like lights. It also serves as a safeguard for the wrestling ring in case precipitation becomes an issue. At the moment, fans can only hope that weather-related disruptions will be minimal.
