Ari Emanuel Comments on the Status of WWE Crown Jewel 2026

TKO Executive Chairman Ari Emanuel recently commented on the status of WWE Crown Jewel.

There has been a lot of speculation around the status of WWE Crown Jewel due to heightened tensions in the Middle East. Earlier this week, the US State Department cautioned Americans in the Middle East to “exercise heightened vigilance.”

On Thursday, another security alert was issued, this time by the US Embassy in Riyadh, urging Americans to take extreme caution when using airports in Saudi Arabia.

TKO boss Ari Emanuel was asked about the status of WWE Crown Jewel during his recent appearance on Fox News. Emanuel said nothing’s canceled as of now.

“Right now, everything is still set. This weekend, coming up in Abu Dhabi, we have a UFC fight. We have, in the middle of November, a Freeze Art Show. So far, it’s good. Nothing has been canceled.”

When asked if TKO and WWE were getting briefed by the US government and whether the show would be canceled in any circumstance, Emanuel said:

“Yeah, we have a whole team working on this, and kind of when, if that doesn’t happen, where we can move it. It’s a daily monitoring.”
