7 Superstars Who Could Return At WWE Crown Jewel

WWE's Crown Jewel PPV has been mired in controversy, with the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi by the Saudi Arabian government, causing shockwaves across the world.

Many fans and pundits have been critical of the WWE's decision to go ahead with the PPV in Saudi Arabia, but it seems like WWE and Vince McMahon are unperturbed by the goings-on in Saudi Arabia.

A few Superstars, most prominently John Cena and Daniel Bryan, are said to not be interested in taking part in the show. With Roman Reigns' illness, injuries to other top Superstars like Kevin Owens, and the rumoured injuries to Bobby Lashley and Samoa Joe, WWE could bring other Superstars to make the event a success.

Here are 7 Superstars who could return at Crown Jewel:

#1 NWO - Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Hulk Hogan

The New World Order - Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Hulk Hogan, were one of the most popular and dominant factions in pro wrestling history.

It seems that the trio could return to WWE television soon, with WWE even promotion their tour.

Since being reinstated into the Hall of Fame, there have been many rumours that Hulk Hogan would return to WWE television and what better place than at the Crown Jewel, where he sure to be received very well.

Hogan himself confirmed this recently in an interview with Orlando Sentinel:

There are a lot of plans in the works. I’m looking forward to going to Saudi Arabia with the WWE, looking forward to WrestleMania -- but yeah, we’re moving forward at a rapid pace. It’s exciting to have this opportunity again after all these years where I was there and gone.

It remains to be seen if it is only Hogan or all three of the NWO that will appear at the show in Saudi Arabia. Could we see them have a possible face-off with DX, who face the Brothers of Destruction, Kane and The Undertaker, at Crown Jewel?

Recent rumours have suggested that the NWO would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame next year, as a group, which could be why Hogan mentioned WrestleMania in his interview (the Hall of Fame ceremony happens on WrestleMania weekend).

They last featured together as a group on WWE television back in WrestleMania 31 in 2015.

#2 Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt has fallen by the wayside over the last year or so and is in desperate need of being repackaged on RAW.

The Crown Jewel PPV could be a great place for WWE to introduce a new and improved Wyatt with an exciting new gimmick. The former Wyatt Family leader has posted many cryptic tweets over the past few weeks which probably suggests that he is being prepped for a new gimmick.

Wyatt hasn't featured on WWE television since August, and with a few big names out due to injury or illness on RAW, this is the perfect time to push Wyatt back to the top of the card.

There have been rumours that the Wyatt Family may be reuniting, and Crown Jewel could be where the much-awaited reunion happens. Could we maybe see Wyatt attack Brock Lesnar following The Beast's Universal title match against Braun Strowman? That would be a great way to write off Lesnar, who is probably gearing up to enter the UFC once again.

#3 Matt Hardy

Bray Wyatt's former tag team member, Matt Hardy, who hinted at retirement in August following a spate of injuries, may well be back in the WWE.

Hardy, whose high-flying moves over the last two decades or so, have taken a toll on his body as his back has fused with his pelvis, for which he is under treatment. Hardy has denied that he is retired which means we could see him come back soon.

In a recent interview with Cultura Colectiva, Hardy spoke about the live event that is happening in Mexico in December, and even teased a Hardy brothers reunion:

It's going to be earth-shattering! It's the only live event we're doing all year and all the top stars of both brands will be there ... Seth Rollins, Ronda Rousey, AJ Styles, me, my brother—everybody! I'm in fact gonna petition to have a Hardy Boys tag-team match even though we're on different brands. I'm excited for this, man."

Even if it is not a match, Hardy could maybe interfere in a match or feature in a segment.

#4 Jason Jordan

Things aren't looking good for Jason Jordan in the injury front, at the moment. The former RAW and SmackDown tag team champion has been out of action since February due to a neck injury, and reports suggest that the injury is worse than we thought.

The former American Alpha is reportedly working as a backstage producer, and if his in-ring career is over, could we maybe see him work as an on-air personnel? He could perhaps become the RAW manager, which would cause some friction between him and his kayfabe father, Kurt Angle.

Angle will wrestle at the Crown Jewel PPV in the WWE World Cup, which will also feature John Cena, Jeff Hardy, Randy Orton, The Miz, Rey Mysterio, Seth Rollins, and Dolph Ziggler.

We could perhaps see Jordan attack Angle, or his former partner Seth Rollins, which would make for interesting viewing.

#5 Booker T

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T, has teased a return to the ring on numerous occasions recently, and perhaps could be back soon. The 5-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion looks in great shape at 53 years of age, and could still maybe put on some good matches in the ring.

He hasn't wrestled in years on WWE television, with his last match back in 2012, but has spoken recently about how he would be ready to wrestle if WWE makes the call.

"I can tell you, if WWE asked me to come back and do a match, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Preparation is the only luck I've ever had in my career, and if they asked, I'd be prepared," said Booker T, in an interview with Sports Illustrated.

Booker T last appeared on WWE television in August on SmackDown Live, to celebrate The New Day becoming 5-time champions.
