John Cena officially confirmed for Crown Jewel in November

aligns curiously with the Hollywood writers and actors strike, putting a temporary stop to most film and television production. This break in Cena's acting schedule has provided WWE fans with some memorable moments, including a reunion between Cena and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

on a recent episode of SmackDown

. The significance of this interaction cannot be understated, given the history and star power between these two figures.

However, while John Cena's appearance in Saudi Arabia seems almost certain, there is notable doubt about The Rock's participation. The allure of Saudi Arabia as a massive entertainment hub is undeniable. Significant boxing matches, golf events, and other global spectacles are taking place in the region. But, The Rock's involvement with Saudi Arabia might attract negative publicity, something the Hollywood A-lister might want to sidestep.

On the road to Crown Jewel, WWE has one more pit stop: Fastlane, scheduled in Indianapolis for October 7. While the anticipation builds for Crown Jewel, WWE's programming promises to deliver drama and suspense.

On a recent SmackDown episode, Cena was a guest on The Grayson Waller Effect. A surprise interference by Jimmy Uso led to a chaotic scene, eventually leading to AJ Styles coming to Cena's aid. This development teases potential alliances or confrontations in Saudi Arabia, possibly a Team Cena vs The Bloodline showdown.

If nothing else, this would basically give Roman Reigns a warm-up ahead of its rumored title defense later in the same month, presumably at Survivor Series on November 25.

Despite the promo by Riyadh Season, WWE has not officially disclosed the list of talents or matches for the Crown Jewel event. However, Cena's consistent appearances on SmackDown suggest he's gearing up for a massive showdown. With Roman Reigns also expected to take part in Crown Jewel, fans wonder about his opponent for the night.

The combination of Reigns, Jimmy Uso, Solo, and perhaps other surprise entrants could lead to a grand team face-off, reminiscent of the classic War games or perhaps even setting the stage for Survivor Series.

With Cena's return, potential epic matchups, and the electric atmosphere of international events, fans worldwide have every reason to tune in on November 4.
