WWE's Crown Jewel is set for November 7, 2026, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This year's event returns to the champion vs. champion format, featuring Roman Reigns defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Sami Zayn, who holds the Undisputed WWE Championship. In the women's division, Liv Morgan is expected to face Chelsea Green for the Women’s World Championship. The event follows a recent tragedy, with a deadly strike at the King Khalid International Airport, but WWE has confirmed no changes to the event schedule amid contingency preparations. Crown Jewel's champion vs. champion matches aim to bolster the event's prestige after its evolution from a mid-tier show to a marquee attraction in WWE's annual calendar.
