WWE Notes: Crown Jewel This Weekend, Samantha Irvin Update, Next Week's NXTJeff WhalenOct 29, 2024 - 1:25 pm

-- WWE wrestlers and crew are headed over to Saudi Arabia imminently for Crown Jewel this weekend. Friday's Smackdown was pre-taped last week, allowing everyone to head over there well in advance of the premium live event. Spoiler results for Smackdown are here.

-- Fightfulselect.com reports that Samantha Irvin had given WWE notice that she was leaving well before Monday's Raw and the company was prepared for her departure as they brought in Lilian Garcia. Both WWE and AEW sources expected Irvin to immediately be made an offer by AEW, however, she has made it be known that for now, she is not interested in continuing in a ring announcing role.

-- Next week's NXT show on CW will air on Wednesday, running head-to-head with Dynamite. The reason for this one-time switch is due to CW requesting the move in order to be able to cover the Presidential Election.
