WWE appear to have axed their big money Saudi Arabia pay-per-view show Crown Jewel.

The wrestling brand put on a successful event in the country in April when they held the Greatest Royal Rumble at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah.

The follow-up – as part of a 10-year partnership between WWE and the Saudi General Sports Authority – was pencilled in for November 2

But WWE faced calls to cancel the event following the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

The Saudi national and US resident was last seen entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul last week.

Turkish authorities claim he was murdered by Saudi agents, allegations that have been denied. Riyadh state Khashoggi left the consulate shortly after he arrived.

A WWE statement said: “We are currently monitoring the situation.”

Vince McMahon’s wrestling company held the first show of a ten-year deal in Saudi back in April.

A crowd of 60,000 people crammed into the King Abdullah International Stadium in Jeddah for the Greatest Royal Rumble.

And the company has reportedly vowed to return the event to their listings.
