If WWE does decide to cancel Crown Jewel or move it's location, Wall Street analyst Eric Handler of MKM Partners', via Deadline, estimates that it could result in a $2-3 million hit to their fourth-quarter cash flow.
According to Handler, if WWE decides to go ahead and completely pull out of their deal with Saudi Arabia it could cost WWE $12-16 million in 2019 operating income. Since the WWE has been so quiet about the situation, he believes they are still considering moving the event.
