The Rumored Reason Why WWE Is Holding A World Cup Tournament At Crown Jewel

Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio shared some insight into why a WWE World Cup is taking place at Crown Jewel. Apparently, it has to do with the 2022 FIFA World Cup taking place in Qatar. Here is a quote (via Ringside News):

“You know why it’s called the ‘World Cup,’ right? So Qatar got the World Cup and Qatar is Saudi Arabia’s enemy so they wanted a World Cup and since they couldn’t get the soccer World Cup they decided to create their own World Cup with WWE.”
