WWE announced a few weeks ago that they will be revisiting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia again for another PPV. This time, the event is called Crown Jewel. It will take place on November 2 at King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The Crown Jewel will feature a monumental one-night World Cup Tournament, featuring eight of the top Superstars from Raw and SmackDown LIVE battling it out to determine the best in the world.
John Cena (RAW) was added as the first participant of this tournament. Kurt Angle (RAW) qualified as the second one after winning the Battle Royal on this week's Raw. The first SmackDown Live Superstar to qualify for the competition is Jeff Hardy. The Charismatic Enigma defeated Samoa Joe on this week's SmackDown Live and Randy Orton also qualified for WWE's World Cup by defeating Big Show.
Four superstars can still qualify for the World Cup. In this article, I will be predicting the remaining participants who could possibly qualify for the WWE World Cup.
#4 Finn Balor (RAW)
Although WWE is calling this a World Cup all the four superstars who have qualified are Americans. It would be much more interesting if the superstars belong to different countries. Balor is from Ireland so this will also add an element of competition between the superstars of different countries.
Finn Balor can hugely benefit from this tournament. Since his return, he has only been involved in mid-card feuds.
He got a chance for recapturing the Universal Championship from Roman Reigns but lost that match.
He has been lost in the shuffle and winning the World Cup could improve the image of Balor as a competitor and can also push him in the Universal Title picture.
#3 Rey Mysterio (SmackDown Live)
Rey Mysterio officially makes his WWE return to the ring on SmackDown Live 1000 next week, as he’ll face Shinsuke Nakamura in a WWE World Cup qualifying match.
This will mark Mysterio’s third appearance on WWE television this year since participating in both Royal Rumble variations and his first time as a full-time roster member since departing in 2015.
Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors, and all other wrestling news.
There is a high chance that Mysterio is going to win this match. Mysterio's win could further set up possibilities of a match for the US Championship against Nakamura and also prove that he is still a credible superstar.
#2 Andrade "Cien" Almas (Smackdown Live)
With his amazing performances on SmackDown Live, Almas has shown that he is a really talented athlete and has the potential to be a huge superstar. With Zelina Vega as his manager and his incredible in-ring skills, Almas is a perfect candidate for winning the WWE World Cup.
With rumours suggesting that Vince McMahon is behind Almas, there is a chance that he might even the World Cup.
It could elevate him to the next level and push him into the main event picture. Some events in the World Cup itself could start a new feud for him with superstars like Randy Orton, John Cena or Jeff Hardy.
#1 Drew McIntyre (RAW)
There's no better choice to win the WWE World Cup than Drew McIntyre. The current Raw Tag Team Champion and former Intercontinental and NXT Champion have been on a great run with Dolph Ziggler by his side.
The Scottish Psychopath fulfills all the requirements to be the winner of the WWE World Cup. The World Cup is fitting for WWE’s fastest rising heel as he looks to demolish every single wrestler who crosses his path.
It could prove his dominance as a singles competitor and also his worth of becoming the next Universal Champion.
