WWE Crown Jewel signals the start of a new tradition for the professional wrestling organization. Raw and SmackDown’s world champions will collide to crown the first Crown Jewel champions in the men’s and women’s divisions.

WWE returns to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Saturday for the sixth Crown Jewel pay-per-view event. WWE chief content officer Paul Levesque unveiled the new Crown Jewel belts at Bad Blood on Oct. 5. 

Levesque revealed two annual matches at Crown Jewel. Raw’s world heavyweight champion and women’s world champion will wrestle SmackDown’s undisputed WWE champion and WWE women’s champion, respectively. The winners will be crowned Crown Jewel champions.

Take a look below at the confirmed matches for Crown Jewel and glance at the crystal ball of what may come. The event streams live on Peacock on Nov. 2 with the pay-per-view card starting at 1 p.m. ET.

2024 WWE Crown Jewel matches

WWE Crown Jewel Championship — Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther: Expectations are that Rhodes and Gunther will headline Crown Jewel. Rhodes defeated Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 in April to become champion, and most recently defended it against Solo Sikoa in a steel cage match on the Sept. 13 episode of SmackDown. Gunther took the title off Damian Priest at August’s SummerSlam, and recently retained the title against Sami Zayn on the Oct. 7 episode of Raw. Notably, Rhodes and Gunther are both in their first WWE world title reigns.

WWE Women’s Crown Jewel Championship — Nia Jax vs. Liv Morgan: Jax and Morgan are getting a break from long-running rivalries. Jax and Morgan defeated Bayley and Rhea Ripley, respectively, to win the titles at SummerSlam and exited Bad Blood rematches with their titles intact. Jax won the Queen of the Ring tournament the last time she was in Saudi Arabia, which earned her the SummerSlam title shot.

Roman Reigns & The Usos vs. The Bloodline: For years, the story of The Bloodline has dominated WWE programming. That saga will continue at Crown Jewel when the newly reunited Usos team with Reigns to take on Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa in six-man tag team action. The match doesn’t seem set to come anywhere near ending the ongoing conflict between the two sides but the winning side will have a solid amount of momentum moving to the next phase.

Seth Rollins vs. Bronson Reed: After Reed took Rollins out for several weeks with a vicious attack, it was clear Rollins would be looking to get his payback upon his return. That happened when Rollins attacked Reed and cost him the “Last Monster Standing” match with Braun Strowman. Since then, Rollins and Reed have demanded a match — and have attacked each other several times — leading Adam Pearce to announce the match for Crown Jewel.

Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens: Orton demanded a match against Owens after the prizefighter turned on his former tag team partner. WWE chief content officer Paul Levesque was initially hesitant to grant Orton the match, citing Owens’ brutality and Orton’s age. Orton insisted he hadn’t been hotheaded, asking Levesque what he would do in Orton’s shoes. Levesque conceded and booked the match.

United States Championship — LA Knight (c) vs. Andrade vs. Carmelo Hayes: Andrade and Hayes were scheduled to complete their unofficial best-of-seven series. At stake was a shot at the U.S. title. Knight did a poor job as the special guest referee, sparking a no-contest after hitting both men with BFTs. SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis punished Knight by booking the triple threat title match for Crown Jewel.

WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships — Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill (c) vs. Chelsea Green & Piper Niven vs. Meta-Four (Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson) vs. Damage CTRL (Iyo Sky and Kairi Sane): SmackDown general manager Aldis and Raw general manager Pearce convened on the Oct. 25 episode of Raw. The authority figures announced the fatal four-way tag team title match for Crown Jewel, plus a traditional fatal four-way featuring one participant from each team for the Nov. 1 episode of SmackDown.
