WWE is set to hold Crown Jewel this Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and it will be available for streaming on Peacock. The pre-show is scheduled to kick off at 12 pm ET, followed by the main card at 1 p.m. ET. This event marks the second WWE show in Saudi Arabia for the year 2023, and it will be the final time Roman Reigns will wrestle this year.

The WWE Crown Jewel card features several high-profile matches, including the clash between WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre. Additionally, WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley will defend her title against Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, Zoey Stark, and Raquel Rodriguez. WWE United States Champion Rey Mysterio is set to face off against Logan Paul, while John Cena will take on Solo Sikoa.

John Cena said that he came back to WWE, because he wanted “a match.” Now, he will get that singles match against Solo in Saudi Arabia.

PW Insider has reported that while most of the WWE roster is expected to depart for the event on Thursday, John Cena is already in Saudi Arabia. The reason for his early arrival remains unclear, but he is there early.

As of now, this event is the last scheduled appearance on Cena’s WWE calendar. However, the ongoing strike in Hollywood may potentially lead to the addition of more dates for him in the future.

We will have to see how John Cena’s match against Solo Sikoa pans out. Cena hasn’t won a singles match in a very long time, and he really wants that victory. That being said, a loss may just give him even more motivation to prove his doubters wrong later on.

John Cena is going back to Hollywood as soon as the SAG-AFTRA Strike is settled. Ringside News exclusively reported that Cena first stated talking about a WWE return when the Strike started.
