• Top WWE Star Rejected A Very Generous Offer For WWE Crown Jewel, If There’s Any Heat
As we all know by now, John Cena won’t be working the WWE Crown Jewel PPV this Friday in Saudi Arabia as he doesn’t want to get involved in the Saudi Arabia controversy and protect his image in Hollywood.
Cena was supposed to be a part of the WWE World Cup, but was replaced by Bobby Lashley.
According to Brad Shepard, Cena turned down a very “generous” offer from WWE to work the show.
According to a source in #WWE, the company made John Cena a very generous offer to persuade him into re-considering his stance on working #WWECrownJewel – which of course, he declined.

It should be noted that there’s no heat on talent that refused to go to Saudi Arabia (names known so far are John Cena and Daniel Bryan) as WWE officials gave the talent an option to not work the show, as reported by Dirty Sheets.
