Despite having appeared at every event in Saudi Arabia since 2018, Brock Lesnar, who hasn’t appeared on WWE television since losing to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam, isn’t booked for the 2023 WWE Crown Jewel PLE.
Regarding Lesnar’s absence from the show, Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com reports, “WWE sources indicate that the company opted not to bring Lesnar into the plans for this event as with Roman Reigns vs. LA Knight, plus John Cena and Logan Paul, etc. all resulting in an immediate sellout of the venue, it was best to save Lesnar for a future event in the market.”
Lesnar will most likely return to WWE for the Royal Rumble PLE and WrestleMania 40.
