WWE Crown Jewel 2026 predictions and storylines

  • Last Man Standing Match: Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton
  • World Tag Team Championship Match: The Vision (Bron Breakker, Austin Theory) (c) vs. Penta & Je'Von Evans
  • Women's Crown Jewel Championship Match: Chelsea Green vs. Liv Morgan
  • Men's Crown Jewel Championship Match: Sami Zayn vs. Roman Reigns

Amidst much controversy, WWE returns to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel this Saturday.

Emanating from the ANB Arena, Crown Jewel's main attractions are the event's two eponymous championship matches.

In the expected main event, WWE Champion Sami Zayn faces off against World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns for the Men's Crown Jewel Title. While these Champion vs. Champion bouts often feel a little thrown together for the sake of it, this one has a whole bunch of history behind it, thanks to Sami's time as the Honorary Uce in The Bloodline.

Where the Women's Crown Jewel Championship is concerned, that pits WWE Women's Champion Chelsea Green against Women's World Champion Chelsea Green. And while there may not be quite the storied history between Chelsea and Liv like Sami and Roman, there is the looming large presence of Tiffany Stratton and her Money in the Bank briefcase...

Elsewhere, WWE Crown Jewel 2026 will see The Vision's Bron Breakker and Austin Theory defending the World Tag Team Championships against Penta and Je'Von Evans, and then there's the small matter of a heated Last Man Standing bout between former friends-turned-bitter rivals Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton.
