WWE Crown Jewel is almost three weeks away and while Cristiano Ronaldo became the rumored highlight of the event, there have been some changes in the plans. The Al Nassr star was rumored to appear at the upcoming WWE Premium Live Event. Crown Jewel will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and this aligned the company to get CR7 in the talks for an appearance at the PLE.
WWE Fastlane had been a mediocre event, with hardly any segment to leave a great impact on the fans. With this being said, fans had their eyes set on WWE Crown Jewel, which will take place on November 4 in Riyadh. However, with the recent reports, fans are taken aback.

Being the GOAT of the football industry, his schedule is tightly packed. However, his matches gave him a window to make a short yet impactful appearance at WWE Crown Jewel. But now, Al Nassr’s November 1 match has been postponed to November 4.
Not just this, the timings for the two events also clash, thus thrashing the slightest possibility of the much-awaited collaboration. With these reports, the last hopes of fans to see Ronaldo in the ring get crushed. It’s been a long time since Cristiano has been in the talks for a WWE appearance. However, time and again, his matches have stood as a hurdle for the same.
Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t the only star missing the WWE Crown Jewel
Before the fans could absorb the news of Cristiano Ronaldo’s absence at WWE Crown Jewel, another news was broken out to the fans. BWE took to its official account on X and reported that no celebrities or influencers would be at Crown Jewel. However, the Al Nassr superstar has left the fans more upset than any other celebrity could have.

With all this being said, there are questions about the success of the PLE. It must be noted that despite the celebrities and influencers not gracing the event, there are two stars who are on the verge of making their WWE return. While CM Punk is expected to return to the Survivor Series, Randy Orton may record his return in Riyadh.
Triple H has proven himself in building up hype for WWE fans in the long run. If no big name is on the card, there is a huge possibility that a massive storyline will be narrated at the PLE. With three weeks still to go, all the stars will run to find the climax of their rivalry at WWE Crown Jewel.
