WWE’s Crown Jewel premium live event broke all-time viewership records over the weekend as Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan were awarded the Crown Jewel titles. In a news release first obtained by Fox News Digital, WWE said this year’s Crown Jewel set a record for the most-watched WWE event from Saudi Arabia.
The company said the event saw a 28% viewership increase from last year’s event. It was also the sixth Crown Jewel event that was sold out at Mohammed Abd Arena in Riyadh. The event's success put an exclamation point on a highly successful run overseas for WWE. The company has held premium live events in Australia, France, Scotland, Canada and Germany so far this year. Crown Jewel was the second event in Saudi Arabia and Survivor Series: War Games will be in Canada at the end of the month.
Additionally, Kevin Owens and Randy Orton’s slugfest was called off. Their scrap ended with Owens hitting a flying elbow drop off of a guardrail onto Orton and through a table. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
