What time does WWE Crown Jewel start in UK?

WWE Crown Jewel starts at 5pm UK time on Thursday 21st October 2021.

The early start is due to the event going ahead at 7pm in Saudi Arabia. This means it’s US fans who get the raw deal this time as it begins at 11am ET, not exactly primetime TV.

UK fans will relish the chance to see their heroes live in action without needing to lose out on a good night’s sleep.
