Why Brock Lesnar Is Skipping WWE Crown Jewel Event

Brock Lesnar enjoys an ultimate part-time schedule at this point. The former World Champion last wrestled at SummerSlam, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. After putting the American Nightmare over in a huge way, Lesnar took another break from WWE.

Ringside News exclusively reported that Brock Lesnar is not booked for Crown Jewel. WWE is booking up the card without the Beast Incarnate, with a show complete with Roman Reigns, John Cena, and Logan Paul.

PW Insider has now reported to confirm OUR ORIGINAL report. The outlet noted that Brock Lesnar is not going to Saudi Arabia for the November 4th Crown Jewel event, because they already have enough star power on the show.

Brock Lesnar is not in the creative mix for the 11/4 WWE Crown Jewel PPV in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and will not be appearing at that PPV, PWInsiderElite.com has confirmed with multiple sources. It will be the first Saudi Arabia PPV since WWE began producing events for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that will not feature Lesnar.

WWE sources indicate that the company opted not to bring Lesnar into the plans for this event as with Roman Reigns vs. LA Knight, plus John Cena and Logan Paul, etc. all resulting in an immediate sellout of the venue, it was best to save Lesnar for a future event in the market.

Odds are, WWE fans won’t see Brock Lesnar again in 2023. The company only has two more events to go this year, and it doesn’t appear that he will be brought back.

With the Royal Rumble going down in January, only time will tell if Brock Lesnar will show up at Tropicana Field. Keep checking back with Ringside News for more.
