(VIDEO): It’s Kind Of A Tradition. Two Major Names Confirmed For WWE Crown Jewel.

The legends continue to rise. Last spring, WWE announced an unprecedented ten year long deal with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The deal more or less guaranteed WWE a ton of money for twenty shows in the country over the next ten years. These shows have not been the most popular, but they have done a good job of bringing in legends. That is seemingly the case for the next show.

A local ad for the upcoming Crown Jewel event has appeared on Twitter. The video shows both the Undertaker and Hulk Hogan advertising the show, which will take place on Thursday October 31 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The event taking place on a Thursday is a change of pace and could cause some travel issues for the roster, who will be performing a live SmackDown the following night back in America.

They’re bringing out the big names. Check out the local advertisement:

Opinion: There isn’t much of a surprise here as both are two of the biggest names in wrestling history and it makes a lot of sense to try and bring in the biggest audiences possible. That being said, these two have been on several shows already and I don’t know if their appearances are going to make the same impact. Hopefully they at least improve the show, which shouldn’t be too difficult given the previous edtiion.

What do you expect from the show? What will the legends be doing? Let us know in the comments below.
