Here is your first look at the updated Crown Jewel 2023 match card after the October 27 episode of WWE SmackDown. The card now features John Cena, as well as a huge title match between IYO SKY and Bianca Belair.
Speaking of John Cena, the GOAT will square off against Solo Sikoa at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia next Saturday. WWE had confirmed the match in the lead-up to SmackDown tonight. Cena appeared during the show to hype the match.
The 16-time World Champion teased the bout as his swansong in WWE. He was then interrupted by Paul Heyman, who told Solo Sikoa’s Samoan Spike was the move that would put down the Greatest of All Time. The segment ended with The Enforcer of The Bloodline taking out Cena with his finisher.
Elsewhere on SmackDown, Bianca Belair cut a promo to announce that she will challenge IYO SKY for the WWE Women’s Championship at Crown Jewel 2023. The E.S.T. returned to the blue brand last week and took out the Damage CTRL member with the KOD.
