WWE Staff Decline TKO's $3,000 Hazard Pay Offer for Crown Jewel Amid Security Concerns
Several WWE crew members have reportedly rejected an offer of $3,000 in additional hazard pay to travel to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for the Crown Jewel Premium Live Event. This decision comes amidst escalating tensions and reports of attacks in the region, raising significant security concerns among staff. According to 'WrestleVotes Radio' on 'Fightful Select,' two WWE employees confirmed the company's offer of extra compensation for the trip. Despite the financial incentive, a number of workers have chosen not to travel, prioritizing their safety over the additional pay. TKO, the parent company of WWE, is continuing with preparations for the November 7 event, even as the security situation in the region remains a point of concern for its personnel. The rejection highlights a growing apprehension among staff regarding international travel to areas deemed high-risk.
