Renee Young will reportedly be heading to WWE Crown Jewel on Friday.

Pro Wrestling Sheet reported this afternoon that Renee Young will be allowed to go to Saudi Arabia this Friday for WWE’s Crown Jewel event. Dave Meltzer has also confirmed Young will be heading to the event. Pro Wrestling Sheet’s report says that this process started back in September when Young joined the Raw commentary team on a permanent basis. WWE has yet to announce the broadcast team for the event.

Women were not allowed to compete or be part of the broadcast team at the Greatest Royal Rumble back in April. There was controversy after the event where the Saudi General Sports Authority, which oversaw the event, apologized for having a commercial featuring a number of female WWE talent wearing their ring gear, which they considered '"indecent".

WWE Crown Jewel will air this Friday on the WWE Network. It will air live at the King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh with the main card starting at noon ET.

This.

Very much this.

[KILLdozer]

And it all continues even further. She's gonna be in a dress or something like always.

I'm sure it's all been approved by the Sports Authority.

Since WWE's stance on keeping the venue has been all about change and progress and blah blah blah, I'm sure this was the Saudi's peace offering to WWE to keep the show.

I thought that was the million dollars.

This is still interesting tho, not even Stephanie made it to the last show

out of topic, but yet another surprising appearance apparently

That certainly is interesting. I never pegged the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as WWE fans. I figured they stopped paying attention once Shane Helms left.

Oh my goodness this is the best thing I’ve read all morning!

WWE has finalized a NOAH purchase, renamed them NOAA in order to rekindle that battle with WWF.

UPDATE: For what it's worth, Hogan has been removed from WWE.com's event page for Crown Jewel.

**********

While no official announcement has been made, a notable name is now being advertised for Crown Jewel.

WWE.com's events page for Friday's show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia now lists Hulk Hogan among the "featured superstars." The events page has also been updated to reflect the changes that were made on this week's television, with Bobby Lashley replacing John Cena in the World Cup tournament and Samoa Joe replacing Daniel Bryan in the WWE Championship match.

The names listed for the show are: Brock Lesnar, Braun Strowman, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Kane, Randy Orton, Joe, AJ Styles, Lashley, Kurt Angle, The Miz, Jeff Hardy, Rey Mysterio, Seth Rollins, and Hogan.

In an interview with the Orlando Sentinel last week, Hogan indicated that he could be appearing at Crown Jewel. “There are a lot of plans in the works,” Hogan said. “I’m looking forward to going to Saudi Arabia with the WWE, looking forward to WrestleMania -- but yeah, we’re moving forward at a rapid pace. It’s exciting to have this opportunity again after all these years where I was there and gone.”

Hogan was reinstated to the WWE Hall of Fame in July and met with the WWE locker room backstage at Extreme Rules, where he addressed the situation and apologized for the racist diatribe that was made public and led to him being fired from the company in 2015.

So...no Hogan now lol.

Could this show just stop with all the shit already?

[KILLdozer]

In a related note...they'll still probably go with McIntyre over Strowman just because lol.

And we switch again:

Hulk Hogan is set to host this Friday’s Crown Jewel event.

WWE has confirmed that Hogan will be the official host for Crown Jewel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. WWE originally advertised Hogan on their events page for the show as a “featured superstar” this morning, but he was removed prior to WWE confirming that he'll be hosting the event.

Hogan hasn't appeared on WWE television since 2015. WWE cut ties with Hogan and suspended him from their Hall of Fame when Hogan used racist language in audio that was later leaked to the public. He returned to the WWE this past July and held a meeting with the WWE roster prior to Extreme Rules. WWE said in a statement at the time that he was not under WWE contract.

In an interview with the Orlando Sentinel last week, Hogan indicated that he was looking forward to going to Saudi Arabia.

“I’m looking forward to going to Saudi Arabia with the WWE, looking forward to WrestleMania -- but yeah, we’re moving forward at a rapid pace,” he said. “It’s exciting to have this opportunity again after all these years where I was there and gone.”

Oh, so THAT'S why he was removed as a "featured superstar"...because he's the host instead! Oh ho ho ho ho!

- WWE deal with Saudi Arabia
- Use Leukemia to get heat on Ambrose
- Bring back Hogan back as low key possible.

I got $5 on a Chris Benoit 10 Bell Salute to open the show, anyone got anything worse?

Hell of a week
