WWE is gearing up for its return to Saudi Arabia with the highly anticipated Crown Jewel premium live event, set to take place on Saturday, November 2, 2024. This edition of Crown Jewel promises to elevate the stakes with the introduction of the Crown Jewel championships in two significant matches.
Fans can look forward to a champion vs. champion showdown on the men’s side featuring Cody Rhodes defending his Undisputed WWE Championship against Gunther, the World Heavyweight Champion. Meanwhile, the women’s championship match will see WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax face off against Liv Morgan, the Women’s World Champion. Both matches offer wrestlers the chance to claim newly minted titles, adorned with an impressive 50 carats of diamonds, which were unveiled by Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque during the Bad Blood event last month.
Also featured in the lineup is Roman Reigns, the Original Tribal Chief, who will team up with his cousins, The Usos, in an exhilarating six-man tag match against The Bloodline 2.0. This engagement promises to be action-packed, bringing significant energy to this year’s Crown Jewel event.
The event will consist of seven matches total, marking the sixth Crown Jewel event held since 2018. This show is part of WWE’s ongoing collaboration with Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Entertainment, with a commitment to host two major events annually in the country—one in Riyadh and another in Jeddah.
As for logistics, Crown Jewel will take place at the 22,000-seat Mohammed Abdo Arena in Riyadh, and fans in the United States can catch the event streaming on Peacock, while viewers around the world can access it on the WWE Network.
