As a result of the massive merger that took place under Endeavor, WWE is currently considering inviting the football star to appear in Crown Jewel.
Over the course of its history, WWE has established a custom of inviting famous people from all over the world to its live events. They either make an appearance as a special host or they occasionally get their hands dirty by competing in the match. The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has hosted a number of famous athletes and sports figures in the past, including Mike Tyson, Shaquille O’Neal, Muhammad Ali, and Floyd Mayweather Jr. According to recent sources, the marketing company located in Stamford has plans to invite Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays for Al-Nassr FC, to one of its next performances.
In the wake of WWE’s acquisition by Endeavor, which resulted in the formation of TKO Group Holdings, the firm has announced plans to expand the scope of its events and take them all over the world. The company is attempting to bring in famous athletes from different sports in order to appeal to a more diverse demographic of customers. A recent performance by The Rock and Pat McAfee is an excellent illustration of this point in point. In addition to this, their debut on SmackDown has led to an increase in the show’s audience.
According to Xero News on X, WWE is attempting to entice Cristiano Ronaldo to make an appearance at Crown Jewel, which will take place in the country of Saudi Arabia. The Portuguese icon currently plays for the Saudi team Al-Nassr FC, and as a result, the promotion based in Stamford is doing everything in its power to have him appear as a special guest on the show. Additionally, the promotion is now accepting applications to have various celebrities attend the premium live event that will take place in November in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The date of November 4, 2023 has been proposed as the most likely time for the event to take place. The group matches for the AFC Championship will be taking place during that time in Saudi Arabia, where Cristiano Ronaldo will be. The WWE has been pulling out all the stops to ensure that Crown Jewel will be a spectacular event. As a result, the player who has won the Ballon d’Or five times could perhaps make an appearance on the show.
The effect of the WWE-UFC merger on Endeavor as a wholeThe recent merging of WWE and UFC with the holding company based in California has resulted in a great deal of upheaval in the industry. As a result of WWE’s soaring stock price, employees like Triple H have been awarded multimillion-dollar performance bonuses. Because of the merger, Vince McMahon can no longer claim sole ownership of the WWE product, a position he held for the past four decades.
Because of this, the company has undergone a significant amount of change, and some of the backstage executives are unhappy about it. Within a few days following the merger, it is said that more than one hundred employees of WWE were terminated from their positions. The employees now feel like their jobs are less secure as a result of this development. According to a number of different sources, the morale in the locker room is at an all-time low.
Fans are brought back to the time when World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) reduced their spending despite the fact that they were experiencing record profits. Not only has it caused shifts in the personnel, but it will almost certainly also result in adjustments to the WWE product. It is to be anticipated that new weight classes, similar to those used in the UFC, would be implemented.
