WWE Crown Jewel 2026 Set For November 7

It was officially announced during the taped August 31 episode of Monday Night Raw that WWE will return to Saudi Arabia on November 7 for Crown Jewel, with the show set to take place in Riyadh.

Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the Saudi Arabia General Entertainment Authority - who allegedly has a prison wing named after his nickname at the largest prison complex in Saudi Arabia - posted a promo video as part of the announcement which prominently featured the Crown Jewel championships, confirming the show will be centred around champion vs. champion matches once again. The promo video also claimed, "You don’t put this much star power in one place unless it means something."

Champion vs. champion matches were previously a centrepiece of the battle between WWE brands at Survivor Series, but that pay-per-view has been built around WarGames since 2022. WWE brought back champion vs. champion matches for Crown Jewel in 2024, with WWE Champion vs. World Heavyweight Champion and WWE Women's Champion vs. Women's World Champion contests, with the winners receiving the Crown Jewel titles which are never seen again until the next Crown Jewel pay-per-view.

The 2024 Crown Jewel pay-per-view saw Cody Rhodes defeat Gunther and Liv Morgan pick up a win over Nia Jax. The 2025 Crown Jewel event featured Seth Rollins defeating Cody Rhodes and Stephanie Vaquer beating Tiffany Stratton.

If Crown Jewel 2026 took place today, the headline matches would be a rematch of WrestleMania 42 in CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns, and Liv Morgan vs. Chelsea Green.

WWE's pay-per-views through to the end of 2026 include Money in the Bank on October 10, Crown Jewel on November 7, Survivor Series on November 28 and Wrestlepalooza on December 12.
