WWE is heading back to Saudi Arabia this November for another Crown Jewel.
The company announced during Monday’s RAW that the premium live event is set for Saturday, November 7 in Riyadh. It will be held at the Riyadh Season Stadium at KAFD, the same venue that hosted the Royal Rumble in January.
Crown Jewel will be WWE’s third premium live event in Saudi Arabia in 2026, following the Royal Rumble on January 31 and Night of Champions on June 27.

12:02 AM · Sep 1, 2026No matches have been announced for the show. According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, though, the current plan is to bring back the format pitting RAW’s top champion against SmackDown’s top champion.
If both titles remain with their current holders through November, that would set up another matchup between Roman Reigns, the World Heavyweight Champion, and CM Punk, the reigning Undisputed WWE Champion.
Reigns and Punk met in the main event of WrestleMania 42 Night 2 in April, where Reigns defeated Punk to win the World Heavyweight Championship.
The champion vs. champion format was introduced at Crown Jewel 2024 and returned in 2025, when Seth Rollins and Stephanie Vaquer won the Crown Jewel Championships in Perth.
For now, Reigns vs. Punk isn’t officially confirmed, since either title could change hands before November.
