Will Crown Jewel help WWE improve ratings?

WWE has been struggling with ratings for several weeks, but the return of AJ Lee helped SmackDown break records and pushed the company forward into Wrestlepalooza.

Lee hasn't been seen since this win, and her husband, CM Punk, is set to make his return to the company on RAW next week, but it's unclear what is next for his wife. It was noted that she had signed a contract for her return, but the number of appearances included is unknown. The former Divas Champion has several potential storylines with the women of WWE and was even mentioned this week on RAW.

Another individual who has been pushed in recent months is John Cena, and Triple H recently announced that his final match will take place on December 13. Crown Jewel will see him take on AJ Styles in a match that many fans have pushed for, but it remains to be seen if this will be enough to help the company out of its current slump.
