Top WWE Star OUT Of Crown Jewel 2023
Real reason you won't see this major WWE name in Saudi Arabia.
Brock Lesnar is set to miss his first ever WWE premium live event held in Saudi Arabia.
Crown Jewel 2023 takes place in Riyadh on 4 November, and PWInsider's Mike Johnson has the scoop on why Lesnar won't be involved.
The outlet's sources have confirmed that Brock "isn't in the creative mix" for the show. WWE feels that the company already has big plans for the event, which sold out almost immediately after tickets had gone on sale. Because the company has successfully sold tickets without Lesnar, Crown Jewel does not need his star power, so WWE is saving him for future events in the market.
Announced so far for Crown Jewel 2023 are the following matches:-
- Undisputed WWE Universal Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs. LA Knight
- World Heavyweight Championship: Seth Rollins (c) vs. Drew McIntyre
- Women's World Championship: Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Nia Jax vs. Shayna Baszler vs. Zoey Stark vs. Raquel Rodriguez
- United States Championship: Rey Mysterio (c) vs. Logan Paul
- Cody Rhodes vs. Damian Priest.
There is currently no word on when Lesnar will be back on WWE television, having last appeared for the company at SummerSlam 2023.
