Former WWE Star Perry Saturn Comments On Crown Jewel Moving Forward In Saudi Arabia

Less than a week separates WWE from Crown Jewel taking place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and despite switching venues within the city, many continue to question whether WWE should hold the event as Riyadh continues to endure attacks from Houthis forces. But perhaps the most shocking voice to come out against the idea is former WCW and WWE star Perry Saturn. In a video on his YouTube channel, Saturn was strong in his belief that WWE should hold Crown Jewel elsewhere.

"They shouldn't be going there," Saturn said. "If I'm a check-off terrorist, that's a perfect target, cause I know all the Saudi people will be there too, and they're my enemy now too because they're doing a show with them. I think that's stupid as f***. And I've never been in a combat situation, and I consider that to be great luck. I wouldn't want to be in a combat situation. So yeah, that's...I wouldn't go. I don't care if they fired me, cause I won't be surprised if they all die over there."

Saturn did clarify that he does believe the show will ultimately go off without a hitch, but that didn't change his mind regarding the show being a bad idea. In addition to the potential human loss that could happen, Saturn also noted that an incident involving talent could lead to monetary problems for TKO.

"What happens if there is some tragedy?" Saturn said. "How is TKO going to financially support all the families and s**t? They'll go bankrupt if that happens, because everyone will sue them."
