On the recent episode of WWE SmackDown, the Stamford-based company started its build for Crown Jewel 2023. The 16-time World Champion, John Cena, once again found himself in a confrontation with The Bloodline. The Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, was also present on the show after he made his return following his brief hiatus. Cena was accompanied by LA Knight, who is now seemingly set to face The Tribal Chief at Crown Jewel 2023. Despite this development, it does not necessarily mean that the rumored match between Cena and Solo Sikoa has been canceled.
In fact, John Cena is still locally advertised for this year's Crown Jewel Premium Live Event, suggesting his commitment to the upcoming show scheduled in Saudi Arabia. The potential bout between Solo Sikoa and John Cena remains a possibility, as the recent SmackDown episode was just the beginning of the build-up for Crown Jewel.

In the coming weeks, the company is expected to further develop the storyline for Cena's match at the upcoming premium live event. A clash between The Bloodline's Enforcer and Cena appears to be the most probable scenario based on the current situation. For those unaware, Crown Jewel 2023 is scheduled to take place on Saturday, November 4, 2023, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
It will be interesting to see how The Cenation Leader and LA Knight will deal with the Samoan faction in the upcoming weeks on the Blue brand.
Early predictions for Crown Jewel 2023
As of now, the company has only officially announced the World Heavyweight Championship match between Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre for Crown Jewel. Following the recent episode of SmackDown, a potential match between LA Knight and Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship also appears to be in the cards.
With Logan Paul being featured on the Crown Jewel promotional material, it seems likely that he will have a match on the card as well. If the company opts for a championship bout, a match between Logan Paul and Rey Mysterio is a possible outcome.
The inclusion of Cody Rhodes on the poster suggests a potential defense of the Undisputed Tag Team Titles by The American Nightmare and Main Event Jey Uso. Given the recent tensions within The Bloodline, Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa could be potential opponents for their title defense.
Additionally, the ongoing presence of Jade Cargill on WWE television hints at her imminent debut match in the company, possibly at this year's Crown Jewel PLE. Overall, much like every year, the card for Crown Jewel 2023 is expected to be packed with surprises and exciting matchups.
