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.

We noted before how WWE has plans to use Hall of Famers Trish Stratus and Lita in the future as big pay-per-view events like the Royal Rumble or WrestleMania. Word now is that WWE is already working on plans for Team Bestie in early 2019 as we go into WrestleMania 35 season.

WWE officials are reportedly planning on using Trish and Lita at WrestleMania 35, according to PWInsider. The idea is to use the two in a major tag team match but there's no word yet on who their opponents might be.

Trish and Lita returned to the ring together at WWE Evolution on Sunday night, defeating Mickie James and Alicia Fox. They then worked a 10-woman match on RAW the next night, teaming with Natalya, Sasha Banks and Bayley to defeat Mickie, Fox and The Riott Squad. It's believed that they will be back around towards the end of the year.

There's obvious speculation on Trish and Lita being involved with the planned WWE Women's Tag Team Titles, which are expected to be revealed soon. Stephanie McMahon spoke with Sky Sports last week and said we would see the titles "sooner rather than later" but she did not elaborate.

New WWE Title Match Announced For Crown Jewel

Samoa Joe vs. WWE Champion AJ Styles is now official for Friday's WWE Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia.

The match was made after Styles retained his title over Daniel Bryan in the opening match of tonight's SmackDown. Joe returned and attacked both men after the match before celebrating with Styles' championship belt.

Bryan vs. AJ was originally scheduled for Crown Jewel but Bryan is not making the trip, presumably due to the controversy surrounding WWE's relationship with the Kingdom following the state-sponsored death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

As noted, tonight's blue brand episode saw SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon make Bryan vs. Styles after interrupting an in-ring argument between the two. This was WWE's way of working around Bryan refusing to go to Saudi Arabia. Joe attacked both men after the match and AJ later talked SmackDown General Manager Paige into making the match for Friday.

Below is the updated card for Friday's Crown Jewel event, which takes place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia at the King Saud University Stadium:

Vacant WWE Universal Title Match
Brock Lesnar vs. Braun Strowman

WWE Title Match
Samoa Joe vs. AJ Styles

SmackDown Tag Team Title Match
The New Day vs. The Bar with Big Show

WWE World Cup: One-Night Eight-Man Tournament
RAW: Bobby Lashley, WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle, WWE Intercontinental & RAW Tag Team Champion Seth Rollins, Dolph Ziggler
SmackDown: Randy Orton, Jeff Hardy, Rey Mysterio, The Miz

DX (Triple H and WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels) vs. The Brothers of Destruction (The Undertaker and Kane)

The heart of the matter
As of this writing, For The Love of Wrestling have already announced a very impressive list of 11 wrestling legends, with the intention of announcing up to 40 more, which will quite literately make it the biggest wrestling convention that the UK has ever seen.

With still more than 6 months to go, For The Love of Wrestling have already announced guests such as the 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair, Bret Hart, Booker T, Lita and Ted Dibiasie Sr. And joining these Hall of Famers are former World Heavyweight Champion Christian, the Honky Tonk Man, Kelly Kelly, Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake, the Brooklyn Brawler and the ever lovable Virgil.

And while Ric Flair and Bret Hart are two of the greatest in history of the game, For The Love of Wrestling has promised more headlining talent to come. That will include the overall headliner to be announced on December 9, who FTLOW promise is someone who has never made a UK con appearance before, rarely made these kind of appearances at other events, that people will want to come just to see him and that his photo ops and autographs will all sell out online, and very quickly!

Perhaps the best thing of all is how very well priced the event is. Entry tickets start at £22.00 per adult and children over 10 and £5.50 for ages 5 - 9, with infants free. Photo opp prices and autograph prices are very well priced to. While the like of Ric Flair can often be as much as over $100 for a professional photo at an American convention, the 'Nature Boy' sits at just £40 for a professional photo at For The Love of Wrestling.

What's next?
For the Love of Wrestling takes place in Liverpool, England on the 27 and 28 of April.

This is an event not to be missed!
