Several Top WWE Superstars Not Booked For Crown Jewel Event

WWE is gearing up for another trip to Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel. Despite the fact that the card is getting a lot of attention, the company isn’t booking everyone on the show.

Several notable names won’t be part of WWE’s Crown Jewel event on Saturday, November 4th, 2023, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This is a bit of a surprise, but the company has a lot of things going at once.

WWE usually puts a ton of focus on their Saudi Arabian shows, and they don’t run events that conflict with the big events. Unlike previous years, WWE will be running a live house show event in Rochester, New York, on the same night as Crown Jewel.

The confirmed matches for Crown Jewel include WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre and WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley vs. Nia Jax vs. Shayna Baszler vs. Zoey Stark vs. Raquel Rodriguez.

As Ringside News exclusively reported, it’s likely that Logan Paul vs. Rey Mysterio for the United States Title and Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. LA Knight will also take place, based on television angles.

That being said, GUNTHER, IYO SKY, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte Flair are being advertised for the house show in New York. That is a big clue that they won’t be at Crown Jewel.

GUNTHER is set to defend his title against Shinsuke Nakamura, SKY is scheduled to defend her title against Charlotte Flair, and Lynch is advertised to face Tifanny Stratton. It’s important to note that these match cards can change, but as of now, GUNTHER and SKY are not part of the Crown Jewel event.

We will have to see how things pan out for Crown Jewel. Even if those Superstars don’t make the Saudi Arabian show, odds are they will all find a place on the Survivor Series card on November 25th.
