Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) More WWE Stars Refusing To Work Crown Jewel?
Around the time of every PPV event in Saudi Arabia, rumors start to come out about WWE stars refusing to work the show.
According to journalist Tom Colohue, there are more stars this year who are saying no to Crown Jewel. Here are some quotes:
“I think WWE also chose to bring people in to pad out the card because we have people saying ‘no’. We have quite a bit of talent in the locker room now saying ‘no’. Those numbers are going up. People are refusing to work Saudi Arabia.”
“I was told quite recently just by the one person within WWE that there was someone who is already on a Team Hogan or a Team Flair who was considering refusing working Saudi Arabia. It’s not just a case of Sami Zayn anymore, who was told not to come. People are saying ‘no’, people are paying attention, people are more politically active and they are making that decision.”
4) Three WWE Stars Who Won’t Be Working Crown Jewel
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer provided updates on three WWE stars who won’t be wrestling at Crown Jewel.
Meltzer says that Kevin Owens, Daniel Bryan, and Sami Zayn are not scheduled for the show:
Kevin Owens and Daniel Bryan refused to work the last Saudi Arabia show and at this point neither are scheduled for this show either. Sami Zayn, who was not allowed to work any of the shows since this series began due to his ethnicity, is also not scheduled for the show at this point even though Shinsuke Nakamura is.
