Brock Lesnar, the colossal superstar of WWE, has been a consistent presence in the company’s Saudi Arabian events since their inception in 2018.
However, fans have been left puzzled as the “Beast Incarnate” is conspicuously absent from the line-up for the upcoming WWE Crown Jewel 2023.
The wrestling community has been buzzing with speculation regarding Lesnar’s absence. A recent report from PWInsider Elite sheds light on this mystery.
According to multiple sources within WWE, Brock Lesnar is not part of the “creative mix” for this year’s Crown Jewel event. This decision isn’t due to any controversy or fallout. Instead, the company has chosen not to schedule a match for Lesnar as they already have significant plans for the show.
A Star-Studded Event WITHOUT Brock Lesnar
The WWE Crown Jewel 2023 is already packed with high-profile matches and appearances. With matches like Roman Reigns vs LA Knight and special appearances from John Cena and Logan Paul, the event’s tickets sold out almost immediately.
Michael Cole, during a SmackDown episode, even mentioned the addition of more seats for Crown Jewel due to the overwhelming demand. This indicates that the company is experiencing no difficulty in selling tickets, even without the massive draw that is Brock Lesnar.
The WWE’s strategy seems to be about maximising the impact of their superstars. With such a loaded card, the company believes it’s best to reserve Brock Lesnar for a future event in the Saudi market.
Lesnar’s Recent WWE Journey
The last time fans witnessed Lesnar in action was at SummerSlam. In a memorable match, he faced off against Cody Rhodes.
Although Lesnar was defeated, he showcased his sportsmanship by raising Rhodes’ hand in what appeared to be an unscripted moment of respect.
While Lesnar’s presence is confirmed for WrestleMania 40 next April, there’s no word on his participation in any other events leading up to it.
