On Monday’s episode of WWE Raw in Cleveland, Ohio, it was confirmed that there will be another Premium Live Event in November.
WWE Crown Jewel 2026 is set to be held on November 7 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The venue is still not confirmed, but Riyadh has multiple arenas and stadiums to choose from.
It could be at the King Saud University Stadium, King Fahd International Stadium, Mohammed Abdo Arena, Mrsool Park, Kingdom Arena and Riyadh Season Stadium at King Abdullah Financial District.
Crown Jewel 2026 is the third PLE in Saudi Arabia this year. The Royal Rumble and Night of Champions were held at Riyadh Season Stadium and Kingdom Arena, respectively.
It will likely feature the Men’s and Women’s Crown Jewel Championships, which features the world champions from each brand going against each other.
Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins are the first two Men’s Crown Jewel Champions, while Liv Morgan and Stephanie Vaquer are the first two Women’s Crown Jewel Champions.
If there are no title changes from now until Crown Jewel 2026, the matches will be Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk and Chelsea Green vs. Liv Morgan. Green is just the interim WWE Women’s Champion, with Rhea Ripley sidelined with a knee injury.
WWE in Saudi Arabia
Back in 2018, WWE announced a 10-year partnership with the Ministry of Sport of Saudi Arabia.
The company also secured a partnership with the country’s General Entertainment Authority that brought bigger events, including next year’s WrestleMania 43.
The partnership has been heavily scrutinized by fans and the media in the United States due to allegations of sportswashing against Saudi Arabia, the assassination of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi and the Kingdom’s poor human rights record.
Nevertheless, WWE has successfully held multiple live shows and Premium Live Events in Riyadh and Jeddah.
Here is the list of events held in Saudi Arabia since 2018:
