There are reports on the internet that if Cristiano Ronaldo decides to compete in WWE Crown Jewel in 2023, he could allegedly earn between $40 and $50 million. Having said that, the star football player may not appear at the upcoming senior live event for a specific reason.
Ronaldo’s club Al Nassr will face Al-Khaleej in the King of Champions tournament on the same day the Crown Pearl tournament takes place in Saudi Arabia. Both sporting events will be held in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, November 4. Additionally, BWE has clarified that apparently no football players are scheduled to participate in WWE Crown Jewel 2023.
In light of these developments, Cristiano Ronaldo will most likely not appear at next weekend’s WWE Big PLE at the Mohammad Abdo Arena in Riyadh. Fans need not despair, however, as 16-time world champion and Hollywood superstar John Cena will visit Saudi Arabia for the first time since 2018 as part of the 2023 Crown Jewel lineup.
While WWE has yet to confirm Cena’s opponent at Crown Jewel, the GOAT is expected to face The Bloodline’s Solo Sikoa in a singles match. The two have been engaging in physical altercations on SmackDown over the past few weeks, with the most recent confrontation occurring on the October 20 episode of the blue brand.
Which superstars are confirmed for WWE Crown Jewel 2023?
WWE has announced four Crown Jewel matches so far. Superstars confirmed to participate in PLE include Roman Reigns, LA Knight, Seth Rollins, Rhea Ripley and Logan Paul, among others.
Reigns, Rollins and Ripley will compete for their world title next weekend. Fans can check out the updated match card for WWE Crown Jewel 2023 here. It is worth mentioning that more matches may be added to RAW tomorrow night.
