A potential opponent for Roman Reigns who has been teased on WWE television won’t be happening at WWE Crown Jewel according to a new report.
WWE Crown Jewel returns to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on November 4, 2023 and is the tenth event in the kingdom under their decade-long deal.
On the August 30 episode of WWE’s The Bump, Paul Heyman told a John Cena T-shirt wearing fan to:
“Acknowledge your Tribal Chief. John Cena is the second-place GOAT because Roman Reigns is the GOAT.”
While this could be seen as setting up an eventual match between Reigns and Cena, that match isn’t happening just yet.
According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter:
“Although the promos where the Bloodline and Heyman talk of Cena as “the second greatest wrestler of all-time,” with the idea Reigns is the greatest and a play off Cena’s WWE tag line of being the greatest, and Cena also at this point scheduled for Crown Jewel, it was confirmed to us that Reigns vs. Cena is not the match planned for the show.”
It was recently reported that WWE was working on bringing international soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo in for Crown Jewel.
