Jey Uso and 39-year-old star to face current WWE champions at Crown Jewel 2023? Exploring the possibility
WWE Crown Jewel could see two old friends reunite to take down The Judgment Day. Finn Balor and Damian Priest won the Undisputed Tag Team Championships from Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes on RAW a few weeks ago. Jey Uso could be on a quest to get his titles back, but with a different partner.
At Crown Jewel, Uso's partner Cody Rhodes will face Damian Priest in a singles match. This means Jey could turn to his other friend, Sami Zayn, to take down The Judgment Day. This pairing could be a good one for multiple reasons.
Uso and Zayn initially didn't see eye-to-eye while in The Bloodline. However, post-Survivor Series, they were like brothers. They both left The Bloodline due to issues with Roman Reigns.
The two are now on their own and friends again. With Kevin Owens moving to SmackDown, this could be very good for Sami Zayn as well.
WWE Crown Jewel is no longer a normal premium live event for the company
The company has been hosting WWE Crown Jewel for half a decade now in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The promotion has built a great relationship with the country and has also made a lot of money from them.
Former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and The Undertaker have already landed in the country to watch Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou. Leading up to the fight, the boss did an interview with "MMA Junkie."
McMahon made a shocking statement when he said that WWE had found a new home.
"Well this is our home now. This is — it's been pronounced — this is our home, WWE's home." [1:00-1:06]
The statement above solidifies the fact that WWE Crown Jewel is much more than just money for the company. Year after year, WWE holds two events there and sometimes even hosts one of its main premium live events in Riyadh.
Last year, the final premium live event before WrestleMania 38, Elimination Chamber, was hosted in Saudi Arabia. WWE's big four PLEs are Survivor Series, SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, and WrestleMania. Very soon, we could witness the addition of WWE Crown Jewel, to make it the big five.
