WWE heads back to Saudi Arabia for WWE Crown Jewel
The 2024 Crown Jewel PLE will be the sixth Crown Jewel event and will take place on Saturday, November 2, 2024, at the Mohammed Abdo Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This will be the 12th event that WWE will hold in Saudi Arabia under a 10-year partnership in support of Saudi Vision 2030.
During Bad Blood, WWE Chief Content Officer (CCO) Paul "Triple H" Levesque announced that the reigning men's and women's world champions of Raw and SmackDown would face off at Crown Jewel; however, their respective titles would not be defended, and the winners would be crowned the Crown Jewel Champion and Women's Crown Jewel Champion, respectively.
UNDISPUTED WWE CHAMPION CODY RHODES v WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONS GUNTHER
WWE will once again make history when Cody Rhodes takes on Gunther in a Champion vs. Champion Match at WWE Crown Jewel.
Announced by Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque at WWE Bad Blood, this year's PLE will kick off an annual match pitting the Undisputed WWE Champion against the World Heavyweight Champion to determine the first-ever Men's Crown Jewel Champion, a title made up of 50 carats of diamonds that will signify the best of the best.
The American Nightmare has arguably become the face of WWE since he finished his story with a WrestleMania victory over Roman Reigns and retained the title against the likes of AJ Styles, Logan Paul, Solo Sikoa, and Kevin Owens.
Now he will stand across the squared circle from The Ring General. Gunther became the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion of all time and later defeated Damian Priest to capture the World Heavyweight Championship.
WWE WOMEN’S CHAMPIONS NIA JAX vs. WOMEN’S WORLD CHAMPION LIV MORGAN
Another historical match is on the cards this Saturday when Nia Jax takes on Liv Morgan in a high-stakes Champion vs. Champion Match at WWE Crown Jewel.
Announced by Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque at WWE Bad Blood, this year's PLE will feature the WWE Women's Champion against the Women's World Champion to determine the first-ever Women's Crown Jewel Champion, a title made up of 50 carats of diamonds that will signify the best of the best.
Liv Morgan is riding high as the queen of The Judgment Day since taking Rhea Ripley's title, faction, and boyfriend "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio. Morgan is as cunning a titleholder as there has been in some time, and "dangerous" does not even begin to describe her.
On the other side of the ring, Jax is pure physical domination. Since capturing the title from Bayley, The Irresistible Force has been a one-woman wrecking crew who will stop at nothing to prove herself the best to ever hold the gold.
SETH “FREAKIN” ROLLINS vs. “BIG” BRONSON REED
Seth "Freakin" Rollins will go head-to-head with "Big" Bronson Reed at WWE Crown Jewel.
The monstrous Reed made a powerful statement at the expense of Rollins when he attacked The Visionary out of nowhere with six earth-shattering Tsunamis on the Raw after SummerSlam.
After being on the shelf for two months, Rollins reemerged looking for payback and Stomped Reed onto the steel ring steps to cost him his Last Monster Standing Match against Braun Strowman.
The two Superstars eventually engaged in a series of chaotic brawls, resulting in an angry Raw General Manager Adam Pearce making the match for WWE Crown Jewel.
RANDY ORTON vs. KEVIN OWENS
At WWE Crown Jewel, former friends will go to war as Randy Orton battles Kevin Owens.
When Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes chose to team with Roman Reigns against The Bloodline at WWE Bad Blood, Owens took it as a personal betrayal, and KO attacked The American Nightmare in the parking lot following the PLE.
The issue soon expanded to include Randy Orton shortly after Rhodes was told by management to concentrate on his Champion vs. Champion Match at WWE Crown Jewel against Gunther. When The Viper stepped in to stop Owens' aggression, the frequent allies against The Bloodline ended up coming to blows.
Following their altercation, Paul "Triple H" Levesque was reluctant to allow General Manager Nick Aldis to make a match between Orton and Owens since he felt the highly personal issue would be very dangerous for all involved. After WWE's Apex Predator confronted Triple H face-to-face, though, WWE's Chief Content Officer finally granted the request.
UNITED STATES CHAMPION LA KNIGHT vs. ANDRADE vs. CARMELO HAYES (TRIPLE THREAT MATCH)
LA Knight will defend his United States Championship in a Triple Threat Match against Carmelo Hayes and Andrade at WWE Crown Jewel.
The explosive rivalry between Andrade and Carmelo Hayes has created some incredible matchups, with the two Superstars emerging victorious against each other three times apiece.
Although Game 7 between the two Superstars was to decide who would challenge United States Champion LA Knight, The Megastar abandoned his duties as Special Guest Referee and hit Hayes and Andrade with BFTs. As a result, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis decided that both combatants would challenge Knight for the title.
FATAL 4-WAY TAG TEAM MATCH FOR THE WOMEN’S TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS
WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair are set to defend their title against Damage CTRL's Kairi Sane and IYO SKY, NXT's Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson, and Chelsea Green and Piper Niven in a Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Match at WWE Crown Jewel.
After the four tandems clashed with each other to bring chaos to WWE over several weeks, General Managers Nick Aldis, Adam Pearce and Ava came together to make a Fatal 4-Way Match for the title.
