WWE Crown Jewel 2026 Full Match Card
| Match | Championship/Stipulation |
|---|---|
| Roman Reigns vs. Sami Zayn | Men’s Crown Jewel Championship |
| Liv Morgan vs. Chelsea Green | Women’s Crown Jewel Championship |
| Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton | Last Man Standing |
| Bron Breakker & Austin Theory vs. Penta & Je’Von Evans | World Tag Team Championship |
WWE has advertised four matches, although the complete running order has not been confirmed.
Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn Renew Bloodline Rivalry
World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns meets Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn in a contest shaped by their history in The Bloodline.
Zayn’s departure from the faction led to their memorable 2023 rivalry. They now meet as reigning world champions, competing for the separate Crown Jewel Championship rather than each other’s titles.
Liv Morgan Faces Chelsea Green for Crown Jewel Title
Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan faces WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green in another champion-versus-champion match.
Morgan won the inaugural women’s Crown Jewel Championship in 2024 and could become its first two-time winner. Neither woman’s existing world championship is on the line.
Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton: Last Man Standing
Former Legacy teammates Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton continue their personal rivalry after Rhodes defeated Orton at WrestleMania 42.
Orton later beat Rhodes at September’s Sunday Night’s Main Event. Their latest encounter requires one wrestler to keep the other down for the referee’s ten-count, with no pinfalls or submissions.
World Tag Team Championship Match
Bron Breakker and Austin Theory defend the World Tag Team Championship against Penta and Je’Von Evans following weeks of confrontations on Raw.
Unlike the champion-versus-champion matches, the tag team titles can change hands. Penta also holds the men’s Money in the Bank contract, giving him a separate potential route to a world championship.
Recent WWE developments, including championship action and Paige’s return, were covered in the November 4 WWE NXT results.
Crown Jewel Championship History and Rules
Introduced in 2024, the Crown Jewel Championships recognize winners of WWE’s annual contests between reigning world champions.
Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan were the inaugural winners, followed by Seth Rollins and Stephanie Vaquer in 2025.
The format means Reigns, Zayn, Morgan and Green retain their existing world titles regardless of Saturday’s results.
WWE’s next Raw broadcast is scheduled for Monday, November 9, when the Crown Jewel fallout could shape upcoming storylines. For background on the men’s championship picture, see the Sami Zayn championship storyline.
Viewers should confirm their regional streaming access before the scheduled start. The advertised card and broadcast arrangements remain subject to change.
