WWE is planning its return to Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel, and John Cena is advertised to work the show.
As of late, he has been paired with LA Knight on television, and the team is slated to take on Solo Sikoa & Jimmy Uso this Saturday at Fastlane. Next Tuesday, Cena is going to NXT to be in the corner of Carmelo Hayes when he takes on Bron Breakker, who will have The Bloodline’s Paul Heyman in his corner.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer pointed out how it feels like WWE is 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 done on TV thus far. This is not a report but purely speculation.
Meltzer: “So it feels like maybe Saudi Arabia is Roman Reigns against John Cena.”
Alvarez: “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: “Yeah, I think LA Knight feels right afterward. Going in that direction early and then finally, Cody Rhodes or Dwayne Johnson.”
Alvarez: “Yeah, I guess we’ll find out. My guess would be Cody Rhodes.”
Meltzer: “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.”
