Is John Cena announced for updated Crown Jewel match card?

Despite being advertised for Crown Jewel, John Cena hasn’t been announced for any singles or tag team action for the event. The GOAT was on SmackDown this week, and he reminisced about his last singles televised win.

The segment quickly escalated into a brawl, as Solo Sikoa came to the ring to take out Cena. Jimmy Uso also arrived to stack up the odds, but was attacked by Jey Uso. The segment ended with John Cena delivering an Attitude Adjustment to Solo.

It remains to be seen if fans will get John Cena versus Solo Sikoa at Crown Jewel.
