UPDATE: For what it’s worth, Hogan has been removed from WWE.com’s event page for Crown Jewel.

While no official announcement has been made, a notable name is now being advertised for Crown Jewel.

WWE.com’s events page for Friday’s show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia now lists Hulk Hogan among the “featured superstars.” The events page has also been updated to reflect the changes that were made on this week’s television, with Bobby Lashley replacing John Cena in the World Cup tournament and Samoa Joe replacing Daniel Bryan in the WWE Championship match.

The names listed for the show are: Brock Lesnar, Braun Strowman, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Kane, Randy Orton, Joe, AJ Styles, Lashley, Kurt Angle, The Miz, Jeff Hardy, Rey Mysterio, Seth Rollins, and Hogan. 

In an interview with the Orlando Sentinel last week, Hogan indicated that he could be appearing at Crown Jewel. “There are a lot of plans in the works,” Hogan said. “I’m looking forward to going to Saudi Arabia with the WWE, looking forward to WrestleMania — but yeah, we’re moving forward at a rapid pace. It’s exciting to have this opportunity again after all these years where I was there and gone.”

Hogan was reinstated to the WWE Hall of Fame in July and met with the WWE locker room backstage at Extreme Rules, where he addressed the situation and apologized for the racist diatribe that was made public and led to him being fired from the company in 2015.
