WWE Crown Jewel alerts the beginning of an unused custom for the professional wrestling group. The Uncooked and SmackDown world champions will collide to crown the first-ever Crown Jewel champions in the men’s and women’s divisions.
WWE returns to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on November 2 for the sixth Crown Jewel PPV match. WWE Content Officer Paul Levesque featured the unused Crown Jewel belts at Unholy Blood on October 5.
Levesque noted two attacks annually at Crown Jewel. The Uncooked Global Heavyweight Champion and the Global Women’s Champion will battle the Undisputed WWE Champion from SmackDown and the WWE Women’s Champion, respectively. The winners could be the Crown Jewel champions.
Gunther vs. Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan vs. Nia Jax are the two newly scheduled matches, except a name swap will occur before the Nov. 2 card at the Mohammed Abdo Arena.
Take a look below at the costumes shown for Crown Jewel and gaze into the crystal ball of what’s possibly to come. Development streams continue to exist on Peacock on November 2 and the pay-per-view card will be set at 1 pm ET.
2024 WWE Crown Jewel fits
WWE Crown Jewel Championship – Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther: Rhodes and Gunther are expected to headline Crown Jewel. Rhodes defeated Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 in April to become champion, and most recently defended him against Solo Sikoa in a metal cage tournament on the September 13 episode of SmackDown. Gunther took the name from Damian Priest at August’s SummerSlam, and recently retained the name against Sami Zayn on the October 7 episode of Uncooked. Significantly, Rhodes and Gunther are each their first WWE global reigns.
WWE Women’s Crown Jewel Championship – Nia Jax vs. Liv Morgan: Jax and Morgan are fracturing due to long-standing rivalries. Jax and Morgan defeated Bayley and Rhea Ripley, respectively, to win the titles at SummerSlam and emerged from the Unholy Blood rematches with their titles intact. Jax won the Queen of the Ring match at this last moment when she was in Saudi Arabia, earning her the opportunity to win the SummerSlam title.
WWE Crown Jewel 2024 Predictions
Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso vs. The Bloodline: WWE and Saudi Arabia have a profitable 10-year partnership. It’s nice to think that the Saudi government wants a celebrity of Reigns’ caliber in entertainment. Advancing The Bloodline’s story also makes sense considering Crown Jewel’s proximity to Survivor Order: WarGames. There are two directions this tag team tournament can take. Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa could avenge their loss to Reigns and Rhodes at Unholy Blood by beating Reigns and Jimmy. On the other hand, Bloodline’s unreleased contributors could gain momentum by beating Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.
Intercontinental Championship – Jey Uso (c) vs. Bron Breakker vs. Kofi Kingston: The intercontinental name image is heating up. Jey defied expectations, ending the reign of Breakker’s name to begin the reign of Jey’s first singles name. Jey effectively defended the title against Xavier Logs on the October 7 episode of Uncooked. Breakker attacked Jey, Logs and Kings after the match, perhaps surrounding the table for a multi-man tournament at Crown Jewel.
Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Rodríguez: Rodriguez raised eyebrows on Unholy Blood by helping Rodriguez’s WWE women’s team ex-wife Morgan and attacking Ripley. “Mami” won the tournament by disqualification but left Unholy Blood without the overall women’s title. With Morgan entrenched in a Crown Jewel naming tournament, Ripley is set to seek revenge against Rodriguez.
