Roman Reigns will walk into Crown Jewel in Riyadh on Saturday evening, 7 November 2026, as World Heavyweight Champion, with Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn waiting across the ring. Their champion against champion bout decides the men's Crown Jewel Championship and tops a card staged as part of Riyadh Season.
The women's division follows the same idea: WWE Women's Champion Chelsea Green meets Women's World Champion Liv Morgan for the women's Crown Jewel title. Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton meet in a Last Man Standing match, and Bron Breakker and Austin Theory put the World Tag Team Championship on the line against Penta and Je'Von Evans. These four bouts are the ones WWE has confirmed so far, and more could be added before the show.
The event will now be held at The Venue in Riyadh, after it was first announced for the Riyadh Season Stadium at KAFD. Tickets were released on 30 October, the Saudi Press Agency reported, and WWE's official page points fans to Webook for booking. The broadcast starts at 8 pm Saudi time, which is noon on the US East Coast, and the show streams on Netflix outside the United States.
The Crown Jewel title itself is made with 50 carats of diamonds; last year it went to Seth Rollins and Stephanie Vaquer. The 2025 edition was staged in Perth, Australia, so this year marks the event's return to the Saudi capital, which hosted six editions between the first in 2018 and 2024.
WWE's partnership with the Kingdom began that same year and has since brought shows such as Royal Rumble, Night of Champions and Elimination Chamber to Riyadh. The city is also set to host WrestleMania 43 in 2027, making it the first WrestleMania held beyond North America.
