Update On Charlotte/Crown Jewel, Smackdown wrestlers not there (Patreon)

With the Women's Title situation in a very weird spot, we have a bit of an update -- or lack thereof -- on Crown Jewel.

With Charlotte the Raw Women's Champion but moving to Smackdown, many have speculated Charlotte Flair could be added to Thursday's Smackdown Women's Title match featuring Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair. Based on those we've spoken to, she has not been listed internally for the show, and was not seen by several we asked who traveled to Saudi Arabia. Instead, we're told that she's in Mexico until heading out for Smackdown.

Charlotte Flair is doing a signing at a Cricket Wireless store in Wichita Friday morning, the site of Smackdown. We've been told that WWE likely will not bring full crews to Saudi shows if they're booked the next day after the 2019 debacle, as to not leave them shorthanded. As of now the only Smackdown talents booked for Crown Jewel are Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns, Usos, Sasha Banks, Xavier Woods, Mansoor and Mustafa Ali, leaving WWE with a huge crew for Smackdown.
