WWE announces Crown Jewel for November 7 in Riyadh

Summary

WWE will return to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for its Crown Jewel event on November 7, 2026. The premium live event features a concept pitting Raw and SmackDown world champions against one another for the Crown Jewel Championship. Current title trajectories face uncertainty due to injuries and a lack of clear buildup following the upcoming Money in the Bank show on October 10. Rhea Ripley remains sidelined following meniscus surgery, while interim champion Chelsea Green is recovering from a fractured orbital bone. Liv Morgan, the current Women's World Champion, awaits a challenger for the event. With only one major event scheduled before the trip to Riyadh, WWE creative staff must determine the title amidst a shifting roster.
