The WWE roster has landed in Saudi Arabia and will feature on a stacked card featuring major title matches and other matches at Crown Jewel. From Roman Reigns to John Cena, the top available talents make it to Riyadh to entertain the crowd.

As WWE is ready for the 5th edition of its Crown Jewel PLE in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, we take a look at the prediction, expectations, and possible outcomes from the PLE.

Match predictions and expectations from Crown Jewel 2023

1. Roman Reigns (C) vs. LA Knight for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship: LA Knight is the hottest commodity in WWE, but will he be able to stop the juggernaut of The Tribal Chief? While LA Knight is over with the crowd, he is not the guy, not yet. Though he will go down to Reigns, we don’t think WWE will bury him. So interference is expected to keep Knight strong despite a loss.

Our prediction: Roman Reigns wins and retains the title after help from The Bloodline.

2. Seth Rollins (C) vs. Drew McIntyre: A Champion with a prolonged back injury is up against a spirited powerhouse battling his demons. While McIntyre is standing on the edge of turning evil, this match might be the last draw of blood towards his heel turn. However, expect a threatening Damian Priest to spoil the party for either superstar.

Our prediction: McIntyre wins a hard-fought battle only for Priest to cash in successfully.

3. John Cena vs. Solo Sikoa: A veteran at the end of his illustrious career up against a raging upcoming superstar. Given Cena’s last run at WWE and Solo’s uprising, expect The Enforcer of The Bloodline to win. Cena may announce or indicate his retirement post his loss.

4. Fatal 5-way match Rhea Ripley (C) vs. Nia Jax vs. Shayna Baszler vs. Zoey Stark vs. Raquel Rodriguez: Though Ripley faces a stern challenge as she has a 20% chance of defending her title. But, given the support Ripley has from The Judgment Day, she might retain the title, thus solidifying herself further.

5. Iyo Sky (C) w/Damage CTRL vs. Bianca Belair: As Belair returns to avenge her SummerSlam loss, she faces a cunning opponent in Sky. The experience of Bayley and the evil antics of Damage CTRL may help Sky retain her title.

6. Cody Rhodes vs. Damian Priest: A battle of pride as an injured Rhodes takes on Senor MITB. But more than the match, Priest would be focused on a successful cash-in. However, a spirited Rhodes would still be enough to beat Priest. Expect interference from The Judgment Day and Jey Uso.

7. Rey Mysterio (C) vs. Logan Paul for US Title: A veteran, a legend up against a social media star. WWE could go either way with this match as they have a chance to develop meaningful storylines on either side. But given Logan Paul’s popularity and in-ring skill, he may win his first championship in WWE.

8. Sami Zayn vs. JD McDonagh (Kick-off show): Fan favorite Sami Zayn will take on an associate member of The Judgment Day. Expect a fun match to get things going with a baby face win to entertain the crowd.
