WWE is returning to Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel, and John Cena is expected to perform.
He has recently been paired with LA Knight on television, and the duo is set to face Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso this Saturday at Fastlane. Cena will be in NXT next Tuesday to support Carmelo Hayes against Bron Breakker, who will be backed by The Bloodline’s Paul Heyman.
According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE appears to be building towards Cena vs. Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at the Crown Jewel PLE next month in Saudi Arabia based on what has been seen on television thus far. This is not confirmed, and is pure speculation.
Meltzer said, “So it feels like maybe Saudi Arabia is Roman Reigns against John Cena.”
Alvarez added, “Well, they got to get something going there. It’s probably going to be John Cena just because they pay so much money for those main events. But clearly at some point soon, I think Survivor Series is going to be LA Knight.”
Meltzer replied, “Yeah, I think LA Knight feels right afterward. Going in that direction early and then finally, Cody Rhodes or Dwayne Johnson.”
Alvarez stated, “Yeah, I guess we’ll find out. My guess would be Cody Rhodes.”
Meltzer responded, “I don’t know. I’m not in Dwayne’s head, so I don’t know what he’s thinking and saying and things like that. But, if he wants it, it’s his. It’s just a question of whether he does.”
