The eighth annual WWE Crown Jewel is almost here, with The ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia set to host the premium live event on Saturday, November 7.
At the time of writing only four matches are set to take place on the show, with this year’s men’s and women’s Crown Jewel Title matches taking center stage.
Here is our full preview of Crown Jewel 2026, complete with our predictions and the latest betting odds for every match on the card:
WWE Women’s Crown Jewel Championship – Liv Morgan vs. Chelsea Green
For the second time in three years Liv Morgan will be competing for the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship, having previously been crowned the inaugural winner of the title back in 2024.
Exactly like Morgan’s 2024 meeting with Nia Jax, her match with WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green this Saturday will carry the looming threat of a potential Money in the Bank cash-in from Tiffany Stratton.
In theory, Crown Jewel should be the perfect place for any Money in the Bank holder to cash-in, as you have both world champions in the same place at the same time. Stratton doing just that would certainly make this exhibition match (and Crown Jewel as a whole) a lot more interesting, but it feels like WWE are going to let Stratton and Green’s alliance continue until at least WarGames before any major betrayal takes place.
All that aside, Green comes into Crown Jewel having just been pinned by Morgan on Monday’s episode of Raw. While that should logically give her the momentum to go back-to-back by beating Green again, we all know the opposite is usually true when it comes to WWE: whoever stands tall during the go-home show before a PLE often ends up on the loser’s side at the show itself. Also, with Morgan having already won the Women’s Crown Title two years ago, Green feels like a far safer bet to capture her first this Saturday.
Prediction: Chelsea Green
Betting favorite: Chelsea Green (1/3)
WWE World Tag Team Championships – The Vision (Bron Breakker & Austin Theory) vs. Penta & Je’Von Evans
After over 100 days as World Tag Team Champions, Bron Breakker and Austin Theory will FINALLY be putting their titles on the line at Crown Jewel, when they take on Penta and Je’Von Evans.
While they are a random pairing on the surface, Penta and Evans have chemistry together and Penta is riding perhaps a bigger wave of momentum than anyone else in WWE right now following his Money in the Bank win last month.
The Vision on the other hand have very little going for them right now. Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker both failed to win their matches at Money in the Bank and Paul Heyman has seemingly ditched them for good after trying to recruit the services of Oba Femi during the October 12 episode of Raw.
Penta and Evans should be getting the win here, even if their reign with the gold isn’t a particularly long one, as the tag team division on Raw is in dire need of a shot in the arm.
Prediction: Penta & Je’Von Evans
Betting favorite: Penta & Je’Von Evans (1/3)
Last Man Standing – Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton
Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton’s almost year-long rivalry looks set to come to an end at Crown Jewel 2026, when they face off in a Last Man Standing match.
Rhodes enters the match as the overwhelming favorite, despite never having competed in this stipulation before and it’s not difficult to see why he’s fancied.
Orton has made so much of Rhodes’ lack of killer instinct throughout the build to this third meeting, but with a Last Man Standing match “The American Nightmare” can silence all of that by putting his former mentor away with a punt kick at long last.
While it’s unlikely to result in the heel turn that fans have been wanting, it will hopefully at least give Rhodes a bit more of an edge moving forward.
Prediction: Cody Rhodes
Betting favorite: Cody Rhodes (1/5)
WWE Men’s Crown Jewel Championship – Roman Reigns vs. Sami Zayn
This year’s Men’s Crown Jewel Championship match brings together two names with a whole heap of history together, as Sami Zayn squares off with his former “Tribal Chief” Roman Reigns.
The history that Reigns and Zayn share has made this matchup a lot more compelling than your standard champion vs. champion pairing, especially considering how much Zayn’s character has changed this year.
Zayn is entering Crown Jewel as Reigns’ equal and he has been desperate to make sure “The OTC” acknowledges that ahead of their match, rather than dismissing him and instead focusing his attention on The 946.
While Reigns has been distracted with The 946 lately, the group haven’t been interfering in his big one-on-one matches and WWE as a whole have purposely been having Reigns win clean time and time again during this latest run as World Heavyweight Champion. While Zayn certainly needs the win more, it’s hard to see Reigns being pinned between now and WrestleMania 43, so he has to be the favorite here.
Prediction: Roman Reigns
Betting favorite: Roman Reigns (4/6)
