Crown Jewel 2019: 5 WWE Legends who could return

It's finally been revealed that the fourth WWE trip over to Saudi Arabia will take place on October 31st, otherwise known as Halloween and be called Crown Jewel once again. This gives the company just a month to buildup to the show which is once again expected to exclude the entire Women's Division.

Despite this, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, and The Undertaker have already been announced for the event, but every year the Saudi Arabian government put forward a list of names that they would like to see wrestle in The Middle East.

Over the years, the likes of Shawn Michaels, Kane and Goldberg have all dusted off the cobwebs to be part of the show and there could be more names called up to be part of this year's show, since the money on offer is usually enough to do most of the persuading.

On that note, here are five legends who could return for Crown Jewel 2019.

#5 Mick Foley

Mick Foley has showed an interest in wrestling in Saudi Arabia

Mick Foley is a WWE Hall of Famer and a former General Manager of Monday Night Raw, but most recently, he was a victim of The Fiend after the former made a return to WWE in order to share some of the best moments of his career.

Foley hasn't been able to step in the ring for a long time due to the injuries that he has suffered throughout his lengthy career and only recently underwent hip surgery, which was the reason for his departure in favor of Kurt Angle.

Interestingly, whilst many other superstars have turned down the chance to head to Saudi Arabia, The Hardcore legend has revealed that he would be open to making the trip over to The Middle East to perform and a match against The Fiend at this year's event would allow him to exact some revenge following his heartless attack.

#4 Stone Cold Steve Austin

Stone Cold is open to one more match with WWE

It was revealed yesterday that Crown Jewel 2019 would take place on Halloween and include a number of WWE legends, it's perhaps not that much of a coincidence that the big news today is the fact that Stone Cold Steve Austin has declared that he could be fit for one more WWE match.

Austin has returned to WWE a number of times over the past few months, most recently as the host for the contract signing between Braun Strowman and Seth Rollins ahead of their Universal Championship match at Clash of Champions.

Austin has struggled with knee and neck injuries for most of his career, but given the fact that Goldberg and Undertaker were able to headline with a short match as part of Super ShowDown in The Middle East earlier this year means that many legends now believe that they could work a match that would play to their strengths if they are asked to make the trip to Saudi Arabia.

Austin is one of the biggest legends of all time and someone that the Saudi Arabian Government have to have requested before now, not to mention the payday that Austin will recieve if he agrees to a match.

#3 CM Punk

Will CM Punk make his WWE return?

CM Punk is rarely out of the news nowadays, but in recent weeks it has been because the former World Champion has been looking to make a return as a co-host of WWE Backstage when the company switches over to The FOX Network.

Punk's representative reportedly set up a meeting between Punk and FOX and he has since recorded test footage that went down well within the company. Now FOX only has to get WWE to agree to bring back one of their most controversial performers, which would then allow them to get the upperhand in the fight with AEW.

Punk is a smart businessman and if he's able to repair the relationship with WWE in the coming weeks ahead of the show, then there's no reason why he wouldn't be able to return to the ring for a one-off match at Crown Jewel.

Much like his career in UFC, Punk knows that he only has to have a short match and in the Middle East, he will make a lot more money than he would from something as big as an appearance at WWE's biggest show of the year, WrestleMania.

#2 Sting

Sting is still holding out for that match with The Undertaker

The Undertaker has already been announced as one of the stars who will be traveling out to Saudi Arabia for the October 31st show, with rumors now suggesting that The Fiend could be the man who steps up to the challenge of The Deadman.

It's hard to imagine that after WWE put Undertaker up against Goldberg on the last show in The Middle East, there aren't people in the company pushing for the biggest fantasy match in wrestling history. Sting has been holding out for a match against The Undertaker for a number of years and he's still considered to be available if the company makes the call.

Goldberg's return match didn't go to plan, which means that a match between The Deadman and The Icon could only be a step up from the main event of the show back in June. It would allow the WWE Universe to finally witness the match they have longed to see since the days of WCW, and it would mean that Sting can then retire post a long awaited match.

#1 Edge

Does Edge have one more wrestling match in his future?

Back at SummerSlam, the WWE Universe was shocked to learn that Edge was cleared to return to the ring since he made an appearance in his hometown in order to spear Elias. The Rated R Superstar has been the subject of a number of rumors in recent weeks since he revealed that he didn't want to return to the company on a full-time basis and most recently quit his podcast.

Edge is one of the biggest stars of the last generation and easily one of the company's best heels, and if he's working his way up to a return to the company then it's easy to see it being in Saudi Arabia, since it would get him a huge payday and at his core, Edge is a family man.

Edge hasn't stepped in the ring since 2011 but fellow Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels made his return in Saudi Arabia, as did Goldberg and if the Government want the company to continue to step up their game every time they venture over to The Middle East, then someone of Edge's caliber would definitely be a worthwhile investment.
