Solo Sikoa and John Cena at WWE Crown Jewel 2023 is creating significant buzz in the world of professional wrestling. The match will live stream on Peacock on Nov. 4, starting at 1 p.m.

The rivalry between Cena and Sikoa has been meticulously crafted on SmackDown in recent weeks, keeping fans on the edge of their seats. Cena and LA Knight faced off against Sikoa and Jimmy Uso at Fastlane, resulting in a victory for Cena and Knight. The stage is set for a one-on-one match between Cena and Sikoa, with Knight later challenging Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Crown Jewel.
