12 A grand showcase for wrestlers from leading WWE brands such as Raw and SmackDown, the third Crown Jewel professional wrestling event produced by WWE, the 2021 Crown Jewel, took place with Stageco’s assistance in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on October 21st. WWE’s first international pay-per-view television broadcast since the start of the pandemic, the event was also the first Crown Jewel to air on Peacock in the United States, as well as being available to stream elsewhere through the WWE Network. Sixteen Stageco containers were despatched to the event venue, the Mohammed Abdu Arena, where 17 supervisors led by Stefaan Vandenbosch and Thomas Boulogne spent a full week constructing the stage’s central roof and entry deck, and a further three days on the tear down. Tom Bilsen managed the project for Stageco. Ten matches were contested at the event, including one during the Kickoff pre-show. In the main event, Roman Reigns defeated Brock Lesnar to retain the WWE Universal Championship. wwe.com
