Below is the opening video package used for today’s WWE Crown Jewel event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. “The Fight” by The Phantoms was the theme song used for Crown Jewel.
– It’s worth noting that WWE did not announce an attendance number for Crown Jewel but Michael Cole did say that the King Saudi University Stadium was sold out.
– The man shown at the beginning of the Crown Jewel main broadcast in traditional Saudi dress (thobe) and introduced by Greg Hamilton was His Excellency Mr. Turki Al-Sheikh. Al-Sheikh is the Chairman of the General Sports Authority in Saudi Arabia and Chairman of the Islamic Solidarity Sports Federation.
– The Kingdom’s General Sports Authority tweeted these crowd shots from the stadium and noted that there was great attendance & atmosphere:
