WWE Superstar and Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee Glenn Jacobs (Kane) will still be participating in November 2nd’s controversial WWE Saudi Arabian Crown Jewel pay-per-view.
This is despite the fact that United States Senators from both political parties recently spoke out against the Saudi Arabian regime and urged the WWE to re-consider its relationship with the kingdom, after the disappearance and likely murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Jacobs’ local Knox News asked for confirmation from the Republican mayor as to whether he will still participate in Crown Jewel. Jacobs’ representative, Rob Link, confirmed that Kane still plans on wrestling at the event and offered the following,
“Mayor Jacobs won’t speculate on Mr. Khashoggi’s disappearance; however, he and his family are in the mayor’s thoughts and prayers.”
