Riyadh Season has announced it will host WWE's "Crown Jewel," in partnership with TKO Group Holdings, at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh on Saturday, June 28, 2025, part of the string of global events the Kingdom continues to host. This marks the 11th edition of "Crown Jewel" and the second to be held in Saudi Arabia, reflecting the ongoing partnership between WWE and the General Entertainment Authority under Saudi Vision 2030.

On Friday, June 27, Kingdom Arena will also host the popular "SmackDown" show for the first time ever in Riyadh, further cementing the Kingdom's place on the global entertainment map and underscoring its commitment to delivering premium events for local and international audiences.

"SmackDown" will air on the USA Network, while "Crown Jewel" will stream exclusively on Peacock within the United States. Both shows will also stream live on Netflix in Saudi Arabia and most global markets, as part of WWE's new partnership with the streaming platform.

The event is expected to feature star wrestler CM Punk, who appeared in the promotional trailer for the show, fueling speculation about his participation even though there has been no official confirmation so far.
