This is the first time Crown Jewel will take place in Australia, but it’s also the first time the event won’t take place in Saudi Arabia. Crown Jewel had been exclusive to the country since its inception in 2018. Six events had taken place in Saudi Arabia, part of the WWE’s agreement with the Saudi General Entertainment Authority to host two large-scale events in Saudi Arabia per year. It is unknown if WWE will add another Saudi event to the calendar to make up for sending Crown Jewel to Australia this year.
WWE last came to Australia for Elimination Chamber 2024. Prior to that, WWE had not been to Australia since 2018. This tour included hosting the WWE Super ShowDown 2018 special event.
This year’s event is also notable because it takes place on October 11, which happens to be WWE Superstar (and Australian native) Rhea Ripley’s birthday.
