WWE Crown Jewel 2019 will take place on October 31st, 2019 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Since signing a ten year deal with Saudi Arabia in 2018, the company schedules two events there every year. Some would argue that the heavily promoted Saudi Arabian events have even surpassed WrestleMania, WWE's biggest pay-per-view. WWE adds to the spectacle of events like Crown Jewel by bringing back legendary names from the company's past.
Last year at WWE Crown Jewel 2018, Shawn Michaels returned from retirement to reunite DX against The Brothers of Destruction. Earlier this year at WWE Super ShowDown 2019, Goldberg returned to face The Undertaker. At Crown Jewel 2019, wrestling fans will likely get treated to more legendary returns, but who might be making a comeback this time?
Here are four WWE legends who could come back to compete at WWE Crown Jewel 2019.
#4 Goldberg
As previously mentioned, Goldberg was rumored to have wrestled his last match at WrestleMania 33 against 'The Beast' Brock Lesnar. After the match, Goldberg was even inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2018 seemingly putting an end to his in-ring career. The company was still open in working with him in the future, however.
Fast forward to Super ShowDown 2019 and WWE had something special in store for its fans. Saudi Arabia would get the long awaited dream match between WWE legend The Undertaker and WCW legend Goldberg. Despite the strong build, the match ended up being a disaster and was heavily criticized for its botches, but Goldberg wasn't done with professional wrestling yet.
Goldberg is a massive name in the company and draws in viewers. After his disastrous outing against The Undertaker, WWE booked him to squash Dolph Ziggler at SummerSlam, proving once again that he is still a dominant force in the world of wrestling. The match was generally well received and showed that the Hall of Famer can still work well, in short outings.
WWE very well may bring Goldberg back for the upcoming Crown Jewel show. The company can put him against Dolph Ziggler, whom he was recently involved in an altercation with, or they can insert him into the 10-Man Tag Team Match between Team Hogan and Team Flair.
#3 The Undertaker
Another 'Deadman' return is likely to happen at Crown Jewel. Saudi Arabian WWE fans are big fans of The Undertaker, who has appeared at ever show since the company signed its lucrative 10 year deal.
The Undertaker faced Goldberg earlier this year at WWE Super ShowDown. Last year at WWE Crown Jewel, he teamed up with Kane to face the team of Triple H and Shawn Michaels. Before that, 'The Phenom' had a casket match against Rusev at the WWE Greatest Royal Rumble.
While The Undertaker isn't officially scheduled for Crown Jewel yet, it only makes sense for him to get the booking sometime in the near future. 'The Deadman' can possibly face several current WWE Superstars such as Elias, Sami Zayn, and Andrade. A dream match against The Fiend, however, is what the WWE Universe has been clamoring for.
#2 Edge
It was truly shocking to witness Edge spearing Elias at the WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view in his hometown of Toronto, Canada. The WWE Hall of Famer retired from the company several years ago, stating that his neck could be permanently damaged, if he were to ever return to in-ring action. Fans never expected him to get physical again. 'The Rated R-Superstar' gave a huge clue that he could return to action, when he became physically involved with Elias.
There have already been rumors floating around that Edge was in talks with AEW, but the Hall of Famer would likely return home to familiar territory in WWE. This doesn't mean that Edge will definitely return to in-ring action, as the company might use him for backstage purposes, but the odds are better now than they have been in years. If 'The Rated-R Superstar' does return, there would be no better place than at Crown Jewel.
#1 Shawn Michaels
WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels returned to the wrestling ring, after nearly eight years away at at last year's Crown Jewel pay-per-view. Michaels teamed up with his long-time best friend Triple H to take on The Brothers of Destruction. Nobody in the world expected 'The Heartbreak Kid' to return, but the lucrative waters of Saudi Arabia reeled him back in.
While Michaels' return was shocking, rumors began to make the round suggesting that his 2018 Crown Jewel appearance would not be a one-off. Michaels was rumored to continue with the company at big events like WrestleMania, but WWE reportedly nixed everything after Triple H's injury at Crown Jewel last year.
Since the company is doing another Crown Jewel event this year and there is a lot more money to go around, Michaels could be brought back once again. He could become one of the members of Team Flair in the 10-Man Tag Team Match against Team Hogan, or he could have that long anticipated dream match against AJ Styles.
