WWE Crown Jewel: Making The Case For The First PLE In Africa
As a long-time fan of professional wrestling, I’ve watched with both excitement and concern as WWE continues to hold the Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia despite the ongoing controversies surrounding the partnership between the two parties. Having followed the sport for decades, I’ve seen it grow and evolve, and I believe there is a less problematic future for this annual spectacle if and when the opportunity arises.
Starting on November 2, Crown Jewel, WWE’s sixth annual event, will be broadcasted from Saudi Arabia’s kingdom. Despite the ongoing debates and concerns regarding WWE’s controversial partnership with the Kingdom, I believe the future editions of this event may become less problematic if given the chance.
From a practical perspective, there isn’t any financial or legal justification for WWE to terminate the agreement. However, what makes wrestling exciting is the element of hope, creativity, and sometimes futile efforts to make things happen.
WWE is increasing its international presence, as indicated by recent trends and Paul Levesque’s statements during the Money in the Bank Post Show. However, Africa, often referred to as the Mother Continent, seems to be overlooked among the locations WWE has visited or plans to visit.
WWE has previously held live events in South Africa and Egypt, with their last appearance taking place in 2018. Notably, they conducted a trial in Nigeria during the year 2023. This was an initiative that Francis N’Gannou advocated for during his tenure as UFC Heavyweight Champion – being the only continent where WWE has yet to stage an event for mixed martial arts promotions.
N’Gannou didn’t make any more advancements in PFL. however, new developments have emerged regarding their first-ever trip to Africa, rumored to be taking place in Senegal. With WWE and UFC being sister companies since last year, there’s a possibility of something significant transpiring between the two promotions during this event.
If such an event occurs, a fitting headline for the card is required. Some international events, like Clash at the Castle in the UK, are intentionally planned for exotic locales. In contrast, others, such as Take Backlash in Puerto Rico, are repeat PLE (Professional Wrestling League) events with themes based on their respective hosts.
The notion arose that Crown Jewel, a major wrestling event with a controversial build, could instead be transformed into an expansive production suitable for hosting nations like Senegal, South Africa, or Nigeria. This idea is symbolized by the green and gold colors, which signify the land and hopeful future of the continent. Though it’s not something being actively discussed at present, this suggestion merits serious consideration.
WWE doesn’t necessarily need to follow the methods described in this article, but they should make an effort to organize genuine international events where there is strong fan base and limited access to their wrestling product. The enthusiasm for professional wrestling in regions like Asia, as demonstrated by Soft Ground Wrestling, has the power to fuel the growth of the sport.
