Over the past 24 hours or so, an interesting rumor was making the rounds about the WWE Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia. The rumor was that both John Cena and Daniel Bryan are refusing to participate in the event. This was first reported by Robbie Fox of Barstool Sports.
We have some more rumors to pass your way about Cena and Crown Jewel.
According to @Wrestlevotes, Cena has, in fact, told WWE that he won’t be appearing at the event. Also, the potential reason why WWE is still advertising Cena for the World Cup is in case they decide to move the event or if Cena reconsiders:
I don’t know how or when, but John Cena has told WWE he won’t be appearing at Crown Jewel. I’ve heard the show is back in “wait and see mode.” This is a mess. https://t.co/qaIC9jvv6N

Asked why Cena still appeared in World Cup promos last night, source said could be because they’d like Cena to reconsider his decision (🤔), or if they end up moving locations, he would end up being apart of the event.

This is certainly a mess.
