Welcome to Wrestling Inc.’s live coverage of WWE Crown Jewel on November 2, 2024, broadcasting from the Mohammed Abdo Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with a special start time of 1 PM ET!
Tonight, the inaugural Men’s and Women’s Crown Jewel Champions will be crowned. Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will clash with World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER, while Women’s Champion Nia Jax goes head-to-head with Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan in two exciting Champion vs. Champion matches. The tension between Morgan and Jax intensified during last night’s “SmackDown,” where Morgan defeated Jax’s ally, Tiffany Stratton, after a heated verbal exchange. Meanwhile, Rhodes and Randy Orton secured a victory over GUNTHER and Ludwig Kaiser on the same show.
In a separate match, Randy Orton will face off against Kevin Owens. Their feud has escalated over recent weeks, beginning with Owens’ attack on Rhodes following WWE Bad Blood. The conflict deepened when Owens blindsided Orton during the October 11 edition of “SmackDown.” Tensions reached a boiling point last night when Owens assaulted Orton with a chair after Orton’s and Rhodes’ victory.
Roman Reigns, along with Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso, aims to dethrone Solo Sikoa from his position as “Tribal Chief.” They will battle against Sikoa and his Bloodline stablemates, Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga. The animosity among these six competitors has been evident, highlighted by confrontations that included The Bloodline costing Jey his Intercontinental Championship on October 21’s “Raw” and Jimmy’s efforts to convince Jey to join forces against The Bloodline this past Monday.
In the women’s division, Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair will defend their Women’s Tag Team Championship for the first time since October 11. They face a tough challenge in a Fatal Four-Way Match against Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson, Damage CTRL’s IYO SKY and Kairi Sane, and Chelsea Green and Piper Niven. The eight competitors clashed in a brawl at ringside following a match last night, setting the stage for an explosive championship bout.
Additionally, LA Knight will defend the United States Championship in a Triple Threat Match against Carmelo Hayes and Andrade. Both men have previously attempted to dethrone Knight but fell short in singles competition, leading to General Manager Nick Aldis granting them this rematch after Knight interfered in their Best of Seven series.
Finally, Seth “Freakin” Rollins is out for retribution against Bronson Reed, who previously sidelined him with a series of six Tsunami splashes. The two have exchanged blindsides in recent weeks, culminating in tonight’s showdown.
