Crown Jewel is shaping up to be another blockbuster event in WWE programming. It is one of those global events that the company is putting up, again. Shawn Michaels is returning to in-ring action for the first time ever in seven years. D-Generation X will reunite to compete in a match against Brothers of Destruction that is the headliner of the show.
Must read: Major announcements for Crown Jewel
WWE does not have Roman Reigns on the card to sell out the show. So they’ll have to bring in replacement names in order to fill in the void. If the recent reports are to be believed then two more legends might appear on the show. Hulk Hogan is the first name who himself confirmed the scheduled return on November 2nd during an interview.
The Immortal One spoke to Orlando Sentinel to reveal that WWE has already booked him for Crown Jewel PPV event. We have been speculating the comeback of the legendary superstar for a long time now. It looks like Crown Jewel would be the event where he finally shows up. Here are the comments confirming that he will travel with the WWE roster,
“There are a lot of plans in the works. I’m looking forward to going to Saudi Arabia with the WWE, looking forward to WrestleMania — but yeah, we’re moving forward at a rapid pace. It’s exciting to have this opportunity again after all these years where I was there and gone.”
As we can see, it’s a long-term planning that will go through Wrestlemania eventually. WWE kept Hulk Hogan apart from WWE programming since 2015. But he came out clean of the racism scandal to earn the right of a potential return.
Speaking of this monumental comeback, we might get a nWo reunion at Crown Jewel. Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall will reunite in an indie show to recreate the phenomenon, once again. WWE is heavily promoting this reunion hinting that they are aware of this and might have planned the same for November 2nd.
Another name that is under speculation for return is Batista. He was about to make an appearance at the United Kingdom on the same date. But he is suddenly not available for the signing indicating that WWE also may have booked him for Crown Jewel PPV. We have previously reported that WWE has made a deal with Batista.
The rumor mill also suggests that DX vs. Brothers of Destruction will be the match that this veteran is eyeing. Batista might interfere to set up a future program with Triple H. He appeared at Smackdown 1000 to hint a feud with COO of the company. Now he might get his career send-off match against The Game at Wrestlemania 35.
