WWE decided to avoid mentioning Saudi Arabia for much of Crown Jewel's build. Instead, workers like Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan and more referred to it as "the Crown Jewel". That, much to WWE's chagrin, was greeted by a round of boos from audiences nationwide.

Not so in England.

Manchester didn't stir when Seth Rollins mentioned his lacklustre match with Bray Wyatt's 'Fiend' in the Middle East. There were no boos for Crown Jewel at all actually, which is uncommon given recent political events.
