With WWE Money In The Bank on the horizon, the company could start looking ahead to the next premium live event.
On Saturday, November 7, WWE will return to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel 2026.
Considering the event will feature two Crown Jewel Championship matches, there are a few different bouts that could serve as the main event for this huge event.
Here are six potential matches that could headline WWE Crown Jewel 2026.
LA Knight vs. Sami Zayn
At WWE Money In The Bank 2026, LA Knight will challenge Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship.
Considering Reigns not only has to deal with this title bout but also the threat of the 946, it feels like Knight has a good chance to walk out of New Orleans the new World Heavyweight Champion.
If that were to happen, fans could see an intriguing first time meeting between Knight and Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn at WWE Crown Jewel 2026 that might be more unpredictable than any match involving Reigns would be.
Penta vs. Sami Zayn
While Roman Reigns will face LA Knight for the World Heavyweight Title at WWE Money In The Bank 2026, there will also be the titular men’s ladder match.
Considering fans have seen Money In The Bank winners cash in on the same night they won the match, WWE could do that again on October 10.
Following his loss to Reigns in Mexico City, Penta feels like the participant with the momentum and could win the World Heavyweight Championship to set up another dream encounter against Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn at Crown Jewel.
Chelsea Green vs. Stephanie Vaquer
On SmackDown, Chelsea Green is the reigning Interim WWE Women’s Champion. Meanwhile, Stephanie Vaquer recently regained the WWE Women’s World Championship on Monday Night Raw.
Despite a triple threat against Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan at WWE Money In The Bank 2026, Vaquer might just retain the title and move on to face Green for the Crown Jewel Championship in Riyadh.
Chelsea Green vs. Becky Lynch
While Nikki Bella has set her sights on the Interim WWE Women’s Championship, it seems like Chelsea Green could still be the titleholder by the time the company returns to Saudi Arabia for WWE Crown Jewel 2026.
Meanwhile, Stephanie Vaquer is set to defend the WWE Women’s World Championship against both Liv Morgan and Becky Lynch at Money In The Bank 2026.
Becky Lynch could walk into Crown Jewel 2026 as Women’s World Champion would make for a tantalizing bout with two established characters against WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green for the Crown Jewel Title.
Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens
Sami Zayn has multiple contenders gunning for his Undisputed WWE Championship on SmackDown right now. One of those potential challengers happens to be Zayn’s longtime “frienemy” Kevin Owens.
Whether it be through winning Money In The Bank or getting a rematch for the gold, there’s a chance that KO could be Undisputed WWE Champion by the time Crown Jewel 2026 comes around.
Rekindling their own longstanding rivalry, KO could step in the ring with Roman Reigns to determine this year’s Crown Jewel Champion.
Roman Reigns vs. Sami Zayn
Heading into WWE Crown Jewel 2026, it feels like the company could reignite the issues between Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn.
Setting up an electric environment, Zayn will have a home field advantage in Saudi Arabia.
Zayn and Reigns doing battle for the Crown Jewel Championship has all the makings of an instant classic in Riyadh.
