WWE is reportedly planning a return to Saudi Arabia before the end of the year, with the company currently targeting November for its annual Crown Jewel premium live event, according to a report by PWInsider and corroborated by WrestlingHeadlines.com.
The tentative late-autumn schedule would mark the third time WWE has traveled to the kingdom for a major premium live event in 2026. The promotion previously hosted the Royal Rumble in Riyadh in January, followed by Night of Champions in June. In addition to these stops, the company is also scheduled to bring WrestleMania to Saudi Arabia for the first time next year, according to WrestlingHeadlines.com.
Crown Jewel Championship Concept and Scheduling Window
Under the current backstage plans outlined by WrestlingHeadlines.com, the event will continue the Crown Jewel Championship concept featured in recent years. The format matches reigning men’s and women’s World Champions against their respective counterparts, with the winners receiving the dedicated championship belts. WWE already has Survivor Series scheduled for Saturday, November 28, in Houston, Texas. Meanwhile, the preceding major event on the calendar is Money in the Bank on Saturday, October 10, creating a sizable window for Crown Jewel to take place between the two dates.
Current Championship Picture and Roster Outlook
While the promotion’s championship picture faces plenty of potential shifts before the event arrives, the current creative lineup would feature notable marquee matches. On the men’s side, current plans would result in Roman Reigns facing CM Punk in a WrestleMania rematch, according to WrestlingHeadlines.com.
For the women’s division, Liv Morgan is currently matched against Chelsea Green, though WrestlingHeadlines.com notes that Green remains sidelined due to injury. Officials emphasize that plans can change significantly between now and November, but the champion-versus-champion format is expected to remain a core fixture of the Crown Jewel card.
