Here’s your first look at the updated Crown Jewel 2023 match card after WWE RAW this week. Cody Rhodes has finally punched his ticket to the upcoming Premium Live Event in Saudi Arabia against another top star.
The American Nightmare had a confrontation with The Judgment Day a week after he and Jey Uso lost the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship to Finn Balor and Damian Priest. Rhodes told Priest to give the crowd a preview of their encounter at Crown Jewel.
The top babyface soon found the odds stacked against him as JD McDonagh arrived to help Balor and Priest take down Rhodes. The Irish Ace held Cody Rhodes in position for Priest to injure his ankle with a chair shot. The American Nightmare was helped to the back by Jey Uso.
