With the announcement of the Crown Jewel event, one of the biggest tournaments in WWE’s recent history was also announced.
The WWE World Cup, the first edition, will take place at the event in Saudi Arabia and will give the title to one wrestler to be called the ‘Best in the World’.
When the tournament was announced, fans and wrestlers alike believed that wrestlers from different countries will get a chance to compete in the eight-man tournament to find the best among them. After all, it is called the ‘World’ Cup for a reason.

However, to much disappointment, all eight superstars who qualified for the tournament are billed from the United States. This has made the value and the excitement around the tournament trickle down a bit.
Even though that’s the case, there is no doubt that the entire WWE Universe has their eyes set on Saudi Arabia for the tournament which will take place at Crown Jewel on November 2.
Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.
With eight top superstars being a part of the tournament, we have shortlisted 3 men who have the highest chance of winning the tournament.
#3 Rey Mysterio
SmackDown 100 saw the return of the King of the Cruiserweights to the blue brand. The former World Heavyweight Champion, WWE Champion, Cruiserweight Champion, Tag Team Champion, and Royal Rumble winner has seen it all and won it all in the WWE.
His return is a sign for some serious competition for the other men competing on SmackDown and will be a big boost for the face division of the brand.
Mysterio competed in his first match against Shinsuke Nakamura upon his return to the WWE and won it to cement a place in the WWE World Cup for Crown Jewel.
The highflyer has been the most famous underdog of the WWE, even though he has won more championships than many other wrestlers.
A win for him in the tournament will instantly catapult him back among the elites of the company and put him into the title picture sooner than anyone of us would think.
#2 Seth Rollins
If we’d ask you to name a better wrestler competing in the WWE today, it’d take you more than ten seconds to name another superstar.
That’s the quality that Seth Rollins has brought to the WWE, and even though his partners Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns have enjoyed as much success as him on the main roster, there is little doubt that he is the better wrestler.
Seth Rollins does not need a title to declare him the Best in the World, however, such a title will surely not hurt his reputation. He is already the Intercontinental Champion and the only wrestler with a championship who’ll be a part of the tournament.
However, he is arguably the best wrestler in the tournament and a win for him will not come as a surprise. Therefore he is a likely choice to be declared the winner.
#1 The Miz
The A-lister tops yet another list. He is currently one of the best heels in the WWE. He’s also a decent wrestler who can be ranked above at least half the WWE roster.
The Miz has won a number of championships in his career and is currently without a title. Therefore, a title such as The Best in the World will surely help him increase his value in the company.
Imagine all the promos that will come after he wins the tournament. He’ll have something to back up his claims of being the best in the business.
It would also give him an opportunity to reignite his rivalry with Daniel Bryan, and that could lead to a match between the two men at WrestleMania 35.
John Cena doesn’t need another title to his name, there is no point naming Kurt Angle the Best in the World at this point in his career, and Jeff Hardy can’t do much with the title while battling with his injuries.
Hence, it makes perfect sense if The Miz scores an upset on Seth Rollins or John Cena in the final to be crowned the WWE World Cup winner.
