With Money in the Bank now behind us, WWE will likely soon be kicking off their build to Crown Jewel 2026 on November 7.
We say likely, because it’s not yet a 100 percent sure thing that the event will be going ahead given the recent bombings of Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport, with it’s status reportedly being a topic of discussion internally within the company.
As of right now however, Crown Jewel is still advertised for Riyadh on November 7, so we must assume that WWE is intending to still proceed as planned.
With that in mind, WWE will have to get the ball rolling on adding matches to the show’s card and we could see several of those come from the Raw brand.
Here are three potential Monday Night Raw additions to the Crown Jewel 2026 card:
Royce Keys vs. Jacob Fatu
The October 12 episode of WWE Raw will see the 946’s Royce Keys, Lucien Price & Bronco Nima compete in an actual match for the first time since aligning together in late August, when they take on The Usos and Solo Sikoa.
Solo Sikoa’s involvement not only comes from 946’s kidnapping of him last month during an episode of Raw, but also Jacob Fatu being run over Royce Keys’ newest recruit: Jaida Parker.
Fatu has unsurprisingly not been in the picture since the attack on September 28, but fans will be hoping to see “The Samoan Werewolf” return and settle the score before too long.
If Fatu does show back up between now and Crown Jewel, WWE could him in a grudge match against Royce Keys – one that will undoubtedly devolve into all out gang warfare between the two rival factions.
WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship – Raquel Rodriguez (c) vs. Lola Vice vs. Sol Ruca vs. IYO SKY
It has been well over a month since Raquel Rodriguez was given the chance to defend her Women’s Intercontinental Championship on WWE Raw, a shame given how many viable contenders she has on the red brand.
Perhaps WWE Crown Jewel will give Judgment Day’s “Big Sexy” that opportunity, but it truly is difficult to just pick one name from the mid-card who could step up to the plate.
Lola Vice, Sol Ruca and IYO SKY have all been in Rodriguez and Judgment Day’s orbit lately, so we could potentially see all three popular babyfaces get their shot at once.
Oba Femi vs. Bron Breakker
After knocking back Bronson Reed in New Orleans, Oba Femi publicly set his sights on World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns during the Money in the Bank post-show.
Now, we all know that a match between “The Ruler” and “The OTC” is inevitable, but just because Femi called Reigns out, doesn’t mean a championship match is coming right now.
We saw Femi call Reigns out during the WrestleMania 42 post-show and nothing came of it, so it’s likelier that this is just another tease of what’s to come at WrestleMania 43, rather than WWE’s immediate creative direction.
Besides, Femi still has one last bit of unfinished business with The Vision: a clean win over Bron Breakker. The Nigerian failed to secure that at last month’s Sunday Night’s Main Event due to outside interference from Bronson Reed, but now the pair could finally look to settle their score once and for all.
