Brock Lesnar's suplex services will reportedly not be needed in Saudi Arabia.
A new report from Mike Johnson of PWInsider is confirming that Lesnar is not going to be headed overseas to compete at Crown Jewel. The last fans got to see of the future WWE Hall of Famer was his memorable rubber match against "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes where not only Lesnar lost, but he shook Rhodes' hand after the defeat. The last Saudi show was Night Of Champions, where Lesnar got his only victory against Cody.
This will be a massive change of pace for WWE as well as Lesnar because Crown Jewel will mark the first Saudi Arabia show The Beast will not be at.
PWInsider cites the reason behind Brock not being booked is that the card is already filled with notable attractions.
Nothing wildly out of the ordinary is currently slated for the event if you subtract the presence of Logan Paul, who is fresh off a highly-hyped fight against Dillon Danis, and will be challenging Rey Mysterio for the United States Championship. As of this moment, John Cena has not been announced for the card, but the expectation is he could go one-on-one with Solo Sikoa.
Otherwise, you have two main event matches featuring stalwarts stars as Roman Reigns will go up against the rising LA Knight and Seth Rollins will defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre. Also on tap is Rhea Ripley defending her WWE Women's World Championship in a fatal five-way.
