Reddit User: Can you explain why you took part in Crown Jewel despite the controversies surrounding it?

Jacobs: Because WWE donated $100,000 to the Knoxville Public Safety Foundation which was arranged long before the controversy. I made a commitment to our local first responders and I wasn’t willing to break that.
