Crown Jewel Predictions Favor Reigns, Rhodes and a New Tag Team

Crown Jewel is scheduled for November 7 in Riyadh, with four matches announced. The card includes two Crown Jewel championship contests, a Last Man Standing match and a World Tag Team Championship bout. A possible Gunther-Finn Balor match has been discussed but is not on the announced card.

Roman Reigns, the World Heavyweight Champion, faces Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn for the men’s Crown Jewel title. One preview expects Reigns to retain, while another picks Zayn to win and settle the score after falling short against Reigns in 2023. The Crown Jewel title, rather than Reigns’ world championship, is at stake.

Liv Morgan and WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green meet for the women’s Crown Jewel title. One prediction has Green winning before Tiffany Stratton cashes in her Money in the Bank contract and claims a championship. Another favors Morgan, reasoning that support from Judgment Day could help her overcome Green.

Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton will meet in a Last Man Standing match. Both previews predict a Rhodes victory, though one argues he would need to use weapons and show greater brutality to make the win compelling. The match follows a long-running story between the former mentor and pupil.

The Vision’s Bron Breakker and Austin Theory will defend the tag titles against Penta and Je’Von Evans. Both previews choose the challengers to win the belts. One sees a loss as a chance to split up The Vision and redirect Breakker, while the other notes that the champions have not defended the titles since winning them on July 6.
