That’s a new record. WWE runs several events a year but some of them are specials that are even bigger than others. Some of these include WWE going overseas to run an international event. This includes a series of shows in Saudi Arabia, which have gained WWE quite a bit of revenue. The events have been increasing another number and this one is rather important too.
According to Fightful Select, WWE has sent out an internal memo bragging about the success of last weekend’s Crown Jewel event. The memo announced that Crown Jewel was now the most viewed international premium live event, with the viewership reportedly breaking seven figures on Peacock. Crown Jewel took the top spot from the first Saudi Arabian event, Greatest Royal Rumble, from 2018.
Opinion: This isn’t the biggest surprise as Crown Jewel felt much more like a WWE event which happened to take place in Saudi Arabia rather than some kind of special show. The events have become big successes for WWE, especially on the financial side of things. If WWE can get fans to watch them as well, it could be even more lucrative for them in the future.
What do you think of the events? What has been the best Saudi Arabian show? Let us know in the comments below.
