Additionally, Crown Jewel will see the introduction of the Crown Jewel Championships, where the champions of Raw and SmackDown will battle to see who truly is WWE’s top champion.
So let’s take a look at everything you need to know about Crown Jewel 2024.
How To Watch
WWE Crown Jewel 2024 takes place on Saturday, Nov. 2, at the Mohammed Ado Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
For people in the United States, the premium live event can be streamed on Peacock, starting at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET.
For everyone else in the world, Crown Jewel will be streaming on the WWE Network.
Predictions
Men’s Crown Jewel Championship: Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther
The two Crown Jewel Championship matches are some of the hardest to predict. WWE has presented both Cody Rhodes and Gunther so strongly that it’s hard to imagine either of them losing a match.
That being said, Rhodes appears to have more weaknesses than Gunther, especially with The Bloodline and Kevin Owens appearing on the card. Because of this, expect Gunther to take home the win, albeit through shenanigans.
Women’s Crown Jewel Championship: Liv Morgan vs. Nia Jax
This Crown Jewel Championship match is equally hard to predict since both Liv Morgan and Nia Jax are presented as heel champions. However, they are two very different villains.
Morgan is the type of heel who is willing to cheat and snake their way to victory. Meanwhile, Jax is a terrifying powerhouse who bulldozes through the competition.
While Morgan will likely take any advantage and opportunity she can, she won’t be able to match the sheer size and power of Jax.
WWE United States Championship: LA Knight (c) vs. Carmelo Hayes vs. Anrade
This marks LA Knight’s first US Championship defense on a PLE, so it’s highly unlikely that he’ll lose this match.
The question becomes who will be the opponent to take the pin. Since there is still plenty of animosity and story between Knight and Carmelo Hayes, Andrade will, unfortunately, be the one taking the fall.
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship
Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill will be defending their tag team title against four other teams: Piper Niven and Chelsea Green, Iyo Sky and Kairi Sane of Damage CTRL, and Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson of Meta-Four.

Belair and Cargill are two of the most dominant women on the roster, so it’s incredibly likely that they’ll come out on top again in this massive scramble.
That being said, this is exactly how the duo lost the titles last time. Because of this, I think that Niven and Green will be able to snake in and steal a pin. However, it won’t be Belair or Cargill on the mat.
Kevin Owens vs. Randy Orton
Randy Orton is looking to get revenge on Kevin Owens after he attacked both Rhodes and Orton on multiple occasions. Unfortunately, he’ll have to find that revenge another time.
Right now, Rhodes has two main villains who could possibly match him: The Bloodline and Owens. Since The Bloodline is going to have its hands full with Roman Reigns and the Usos, Owens is going to need to look stronger than ever. Beating Orton is a great way to do that.
Seth Rollins vs. Bronson Reed
After losing the Last Monster Standing match to Braun Strowman, Bronson Reed needs to get a big win. That being said, I don’t think it will come at the cost of Seth “Freakin” Rollins.
This will mark Rollins return after taking a break due to injury. If WWE wants to build up Rollins as a credible foil to Gunther, CM Punk, and more, he needs to have a dominant return.
Roman Reigns & The Usos vs. The Bloodline
The wrestling world was stunned when Jimmy Uso returned to aid Roman Reigns in a victory against Bloodline leader Solo Sikoa. Now, Jimmy has recruited Jey Uso to join them as they battle Sikoa and the rest of The Bloodline.
While Sikoa said that they’ll only have three members in the match, expect Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jimmy Fatu to get involved. While Reigns was able to overcome the numbers disadvantage last time, it likely won’t work a second time, potentially leading to an exciting matchup at Survivor Series.

Outside of the matches, the biggest question mark surrounds Ms. Money in the Bank Tiffany Stratton.
With the MITB Briefcase, Stratton has the opportunity to cash in for a title shot whenever she wants. Given that both Women’s Champions will be battling each other, this could prove to be the perfect opportunity for Tiffy to advantage and claim her first championship on the main roster.

Stratton could cash in on Morgan, establishing herself and Jax as the most powerful duo in WWE. However, she could also cash in on Jax, and create a tense feud between both Superstars.
Don’t be surprised tonight if someone leaves as the inaugural Women’s Crown Jewel Champion, but loses their world title in the process.
