WWE heads to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Saturday afternoon for Crown Jewel, its annual fall time premium stay occasion, this yr headlined by Undisputed WWE Common Champion Roman Reigns defending in opposition to LA Knight.

That blockbuster match, one of the anticipated of the yr, tops a card that options practically each main title at stake and a number of other key grudges settled in extremely emotional battles.

What does the cardboard appear to be, who can followers count on to depart victoriously, and what two tales bear watching closest?

Discover out with this preview of the November 4 extravaganza.

It feels as if the WWE Universe has requested “When will Damian Priest money in Cash within the Financial institution” because the second he gained the coveted briefcase on the namesake premium stay occasion this previous July.

There have been alternatives previous to Crown Jewel for him to money in, win the World Heavyweight Championship from Seth Rollins, and achieve this in a method that made sense inside the context of ongoing storylines.

Up to now, Triple H and the artistic workforce have opted to not head in that path.

That will change on Saturday at Crown Jewel.

Assuming Priest loses to Rhodes of their singles match, The Archer of Infamy can simply rebound later within the night time interrupting a world title match between babyfaces Rollins and Drew McIntyre, and efficiently money in his briefcase to steal the championship.

It performs on Rhea Ripley’s makes an attempt to control each opponents on latest episodes of WWE Uncooked and freshens up the title image on Monday nights, the place Rollins has reigned because the reintroduction of the world title final Might.

With an emphasis positioned on Judgment Day of late and Triple H’s clear dedication to the faction and its place atop the crimson model, it definitely seems like now’s the time to make the title change.

Rollins can win it again on the street to WrestleMania and defend it in Philadelphia if that’s what the artistic workforce wishes, however to go up a chance to ebook a giant second on the Crown Jewel present—when most different titles seem prone to be retained by their present holders—can be a misstep.

LA Knight won’t defeat Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Common Championship.

That a lot is a certainty.

That doesn’t imply, nonetheless, that The Megastar can not go away Saudi Arabia stronger than he entered.

Knight is as sizzling as any Celebrity on the WWE roster proper now. He’s commonly garnering the largest reactions of any present he seems on, eclipsing even these obtained by John Cena and The Tribal Chief himself.

He has momentum on his facet, as a lot if no more than Sami Zayn final February when he challenged for the gold at Elimination Chamber. The distinction right here is that Knight’s title alternative is available in Riyadh, whereas Zayn’s was an enormous homecoming.

Nonetheless, Knight has previous each check on his path to the championship and has earned this chance. So, how does WWE guarantee his momentum continues to construct as an alternative of plateauing?

Straightforward. It books the match very similar to it did the Cody Rhodes match at WrestleMania 39, when it was abundantly clear late within the match that The American Nightmare was about to dethrone Reigns, just for Solo Sikoa to dish out one final little bit of interference that robbed the WWE Universe of the long-awaited title change.

It labored then and allowed Rhodes to stay as over as he had been getting into the match, a Celebrity who didn’t fail to win the title as a lot as he had it yanked out from beneath him.

The important thing will likely be to painting Knight as a man that didn’t fall wanting successful the title however was screwed out of it by exterior forces. If he comes out of the match having come inside a second of successful the gold, and the followers understand it was another person who prevented it, they’ll proceed to help him.

Maybe most significantly, will probably be to Knight not to assign blame for the loss. Rhodes by no means blamed The Bloodline however, as an alternative, assumed accountability for the loss. He by no means forgot it, all the time chased a rematch, however by no means pointed fingers.

If Knight does the identical, he will likely be made as a main-event babyface.
