WWE Crown Jewel 2024 airs Saturday, November 2 at noon (CST). Emanating from the Mohammed Abdo Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, it is the sixth Crown Jewel event.
Debuting in 2018, Crown Jewel has been held every year except 2020 (due to the pandemic). Part of a 10-year partnership in support of Saudi Vision 2030, the event’s name refers to Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.
Once again, my The Johngy “OR ELSE” Podcast partner Tommy Else and I analyze the card and make our predictions. Tommy still trails me by four wins this year. I also have a slim one win lifetime win over him.
In the past, I have been critical of Crown Jewel. I don’t mind it being a cash grab, but I hate matches potentially added and decided because of the audience. The WWE should be above that. This year, the Crown Jewel championships have been added.
That brings a lot of questions. Will the championships be defended? If so, will they only be defended yearly at the Crown Jewel event? I lean towards liking it only defended annually at Crown Jewel. My only reservation is having a “champ” of every event. WWE already has King of the Ring and Royal Rumble. This makes a third event title. Still, it is better than creating a new title to be defending with too numerous other titles.
Aside from that title giving meaning to two of the matches, the other ones don’t seem as random as usual. This feels lie a regular WWE Premium Live Event.
It is a loaded card with seven matches:
Six-Man Tag Team Match
Roman Reigns & The Usos vs. The Bloodline
Men’s Crown Jewel Championship
Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs. World Heavyweight Champion Gunther
Women’s Crown Jewel Championship
WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax vs. Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan
Seth “Freakin” Rollins vs. “Big” Bronson Reed
Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens
United States Championship
LA Knight (c) vs. Andrade vs. Carmelo Hayes (Triple Threat Match)
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship
Jade Cargill & Bianca Belair (c) vs. Kairi Sane & IYO SKY vs. Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson vs. Chelsea Green & Piper Niven (Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Match)
