#3 Allows for underutilized Superstars to be a part of Crown Jewel

WWE managed to get a lot of WWE Superstars to travel to Saudi Arabia in the past as part of the Greatest Royal Rumble and as a part of the battle royals that have previously happened. This time, they will not have the luxury because it may just be overkill to do yet another battle royal in Saudi Arabia.

But this is a surefire way to get some underutilized talent on the card and have some of them become bigger stars by mere association. For example, someone like Cedric Alexander may not be the biggest star in the roster, but having him on Team Hogan immediately makes him a legendary performer.

The same thing could also happen on the heel side, where a heel like Samoa Joe who's been languishing in the mid card may actually ascend a level or two thanks to Ric Flair's endorsement in a backstage segment. One has to remember that Hogan and Flair are not just great professional wrestlers but trendsetters who are part of pop culture.

Even if the match is not necessarily a classic, everyone wins with the mere buildup, I think.
