Predicting Top 3 Opponents For Roman Reigns At WWE Crown Jewel 2023

Roman Reigns is currently one of the most dominant WWE champions. He holds the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship and has faced many big names in the company, including Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Seth Rollins, Edge, Cody Rhodes, and others. ## He recently defended his title at SummerSlam on August 5th, where he successfully defeated Jey Uso in a Tribal Combat match. After SummerSlam, Reigns missed WWE Payback and won't be part of Fastlane next month. However, he's set to return to the ring at a WWE premium live event in Saudi Arabia on November 4th. ## Despite already beating top stars, WWE has more top superstars lined up for Reigns to face at WWE Crown Jewel 2023. Let's take a look at the top 3 potential opponents. ## #1. LA Knight vs. Roman Reigns ## Another option is for Roman Reigns to take on LA Knight at the event. WWE has been talking about giving LA Knight a significant opportunity, so this could be his chance when he goes up against Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel. It would be a new match since they've never faced each other before. Knight has also publicly stated his eagerness to challenge Roman Reigns for the title. ## #2. Randy Orton vs. Roman Reigns ## Randy Orton has returned to the WWE Performance Center. There were rumors about his comeback earlier, but in early August, he was not yet cleared for in-ring training. In May 2022, Orton injured his back and had to undergo fusion surgery. ## Now that Orton is back at the WWE Performance Center, there's a possibility that WWE might arrange a match between him and Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel. ## #3. John Cena vs. Roman Reigns ## There are reports that Roman Reigns and John Cena are being advertised as part of the show. ## A promotional video for the celebration mentions Crown Jewel and "the participation of John Cena," though WWE has not provided official confirmation. Given Cena's recent WWE schedule, it's likely that he will be on the card. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Saraya: 'I Always Wanted To Be A Heel, Even Before AEW Knew I Was Gonna Be Wrestling Again'

Norwich, 20 September - Saraya faced a tough road back to the wrestling ring after a career-threatening injury forced her to retire at just 25 years old in 2018. ## However, after a lengthy absence, Saraya made her return to the wrestling world in September 2022 when she signed with AEW and had her debut at Grand Slam. Since then, she has solidified her position as one of the top stars in the company. ## Saraya's comeback story took an exciting turn when she captured her first championship in nearly nine years. She defeated AEW Women's World Champion Hikaru Shida, Baker, and Toni Storm in a four-way match at All In. ## In an interview with Metro.co.uk, Saraya revealed that her debut in AEW was always intended to position her as a villain, even before AEW knew she would be returning to the ring. ## “I always wanted to be a heel, even before AEW knew I was gonna be wrestling again. I always wanted to be a bad guy. Because I already knew it wasn’t going to be long until they turned on me. I knew that. I said that – having conversations before I came to AEW, I was speaking to Jon Moxley, I was speaking to [Chris] Jericho, I was speaking to Tony Khan.” ## “They were all telling me, ‘You’re gonna be a babyface first because people are just gonna be happy to see you.’ It was really frustrating. What I kept doing is I kept throwing in heelish things in promos or how I acted, things like that. I wanted that slow burn anyway and then eventually I was gonna get the opportunity to turn heel, I just had to wait a little bit. It worked out!” ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

New 'HOOKHausen: Very Handsome, Very Evil' DLC Pack Announced For AEW Fight Forever Video Game

Jacksonville, 20 September - AEW keeps putting on impressive shows, going head-to-head with the long-established company, WWE, which is considered one of the top wrestling organizations globally. WWE has a massive worldwide fanbase due to its long history of events and matches. AEW, on the other hand, has emerged as an alternative to WWE. ## At first, it seemed unlikely that AEW could compete with WWE, given WWE's immense fan following. However, AEW stepped up and introduced its first-ever game, "Fight Forever." ## It's been three months since the game's release on June 29th, and it received mixed reactions from both fans and critics. The game faced significant criticism for lacking quality-of-life features and having limited customization options. But it's understandable since it was their first attempt, and they might improve in the future. ## The AEW Games team has been working hard to make improvements, and it appears they've added a new DLC character pack to the game. AEW Games' official Twitter account announced the upcoming "HOOKHausen: Very Handsome, Very Evil" DLC pack, set to drop on September 28th for Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
