Undertaker appearing to be promoting the show in Saudi Arabia will fuel speculation over his involvement with Crown Jewel.

Just days ago he wasn’t reported to have been told WWE didn’t need him for the show.

It would be the first time he hasn’t appeared at one of WWE’s events in Saudi Arabia.

The show is currently set for a bumper double main event, with boxer Tyson Fury taking on Braun Strowman, and old UFC rivals Brock Lesnar and Cain Velasquez doing battle for the WWE Championship.

The legend then went on to headline the first Crown Jewel event with his on-screen brother Kane against Triple H and Shawn Michaels.

His bout in June was panned after it became derailed when Goldberg smashed his head into the ring post – leaving him with a concussion.
