Local Saudi athlete planned for Crown Jewel (Patreon)

We could be seeing an Olympian at Crown Jewel.

Yesterday, Fightful Select was informed that Saudi Olympic karateke Tareg Hamedi was planned in some capacity for the WWE Crown Jewel show. This morning ahead of the show, he was in the ring, working with Mansoor, Mustafa Ali and Charles Robinson ahead of teh show as they went over their match. We're unsure of the capacity in which he's planned to appear.

Hamedi took the Silver medal in the 2020 Summer Olympic games, which actually took place just months ago due to a delay from the pandemic, competing in the 75kg kilogram division of kumite.
