Catch all the action happening from Mrsool Park Stadium – Riyadh, Saudi Arabia live on GOtv at 6pm on Saturday.
Roman Reigns has had a legendary reign as champion, having held the title for over 1000 days. He has defeated notable challengers such as Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, Drew McIntyre and many more.
While LA Knight may not be the most fearsome challenger, his charisma has made him one of the fastest rising WWE superstars. It remains to be seen if he is capable of pulling a shock victory to become the new champion.
World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins will need to ward off a challenge from “The Scottish Warrior” Drew McIntyre at Crown Jewel to retain his title.
Tension has continued to brew between both men since McIntyre challenged Rollins’ championship. The Scottish warrior will be keen to repeat his 2020 Money in the Bank victory where he defended his title against Rollins.
Having helped set up LA Knight for a chance at becoming the WWE Champion against Roman Reigns, John Cena will lock horns with one of Reigns’ allies, Solo Sikoa.
The tension between the two wrestlers peaked when Cena delivered an Attitude Adjustment move on Sikoa at Smackdown on October 20. It is no secret that Cena has his eyes on the WWE Championship.
United States Champion, Rey Mysterio will have to defend his title against the ambitious Logan Paul. Paul is keen to win his first ever WWE championship and he believes defeating Mysterio is the best way to go about it. Logan Paul is confident of victory after he and The Miz defeated Rey and Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania 38.
The American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes is out to settle scores against Damian Priest of The Judgement Day. Rhodes and Jey Uso’s reign as Tag Team Champions, after defeating Priest and Finn Balor at Fastlane, was cut short when they were defeated by Judgement Day in a rematch, no thanks to Jey’s twin brother, Jimmy’s interference. Will Rhodes get his revenge against Priest?
Iyo Sky’s reign as WWE Champion is under threat as she heads into the ring with Bianca Belair at Crown Jewel. Sky cashed in her Money in the Bank contract at Summerslam when Belair defeated Asuka and Charlotte Flair in a Triple Threat Match.
However, the former champion was sidelined with injury for two months because Sky and her allies in Damage CTRL attacked Belair. The challenger is out for revenge and keen to reclaim the prized WWE Women’s Championship belt.
