Background[]
Production[]
In early 2018, the American professional wrestling promotion WWE began a 10-year strategic multiplatform partnership with the Ministry of Sport (formerly General Sports Authority) in support of Saudi Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia's social and economic reform program. Crown Jewel was then established later that same year as one of the recurring events in this partnership to be held in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, in late October–early November. Officially announced on May 25, 2024, during King and Queen of the Ring, the sixth Crown Jewel, and 12th overall event in the Saudi Arabian partnership, was scheduled to be held on Saturday, November 2, 2024, at the Kingdom Arena. The event will air on pay-per-view worldwide and will be available to livestream on Peacock in the United States and the WWE Network in most international markets, and it will feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brand divisions.
Storylines[]
Cody Rhodes vs Gunther & Liv Morgan vs Nia Jax[]
During Bad Blood, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque announced that at Crown Jewel, the reigning men's and women's world champions of Raw and SmackDown would face each other; however, their respective titles would not be defended and instead, the respective winners would be crowned the Crown Jewel Champion and Women's Crown Jewel Champion. He also announced that this would be an annual match for Crown Jewel. Liv Morgan and Nia Jax would retain their respective titles at Bad Blood—Raw's Women's World Championship and SmackDown's WWE Women's Championship—thus setting up the Women's Crown Jewel Championship match. As SmackDown's Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes did not have a title defense at Bad Blood, he was automatically entered into the men's match. His opponent was determined by Raw's World Heavyweight Championship match on the same event where Gunther retained, thus setting up the men's Crown Jewel Championship match.
