Roman Reigns to get pinned; WrestleMania rematch; Cody Rhodes betrayed? 4 early predictions for WWE Crown Jewel 2024
WWE could be set to stack Crown Jewel, especially after Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes are teaming up at Bad Blood. Things could get even bigger ahead of the Saudi Arabia premium live event.
In its usual spot at the start of November, Triple H will likely load up the Crown Jewel card with some huge matches. A few have already been teased right now. So, let's have a look at what WWE might be planning for next month's show.
With Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes likely to be there, it is sure to be another blockbuster night!
#4. Sami Zayn could finally challenge Gunther at WWE Crown Jewel
The past few weeks have seen Sami Zayn challenge Gunther to a World Heavyweight Championship match, only for The Ring General to decline every time. This might be done to extend the angle beyond Bad Blood, which seems too soon for the match to take place now.
Zayn can instead face Gunther at Crown Jewel, where he will be an absolute crowd favorite. The four-time Intercontinental Champion is loved in Saudi Arabia thanks to his Arab heritage.
So, it seems like the right call to delay this World Heavyweight Title match until Crown Jewel. While Sami Zayn might not win, he and Gunther can create some magic in Riyadh.
#3. Tiffany Stratton could cash in her Money in the Bank contract on Nia Jax
The alliance between Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton seems to be going strong for now, but there is an underlying tension. It could all fall apart in a split second, with Stratton holding the Money in the Bank briefcase.
She has attempted to cash in a few times, only for Jax to catch them early. However, there will come a point where it's Tiffy Time before the WWE Women's Champion even knows what's happening. Expect it to happen at a major premium live event, making Crown Jewel a potential destination.
Nia Jax can defend her title against Naomi, Bayley, or potentially both, before Tiffany Stratton inserts herself into the match. She can cash in and pin someone else while escaping Saudi Arabia with the WWE Women's Championship. It would be the female version of the Heist of the Century.
#2. Solo Sikoa could defeat Roman Reigns at WWE Crown Jewel
Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes are set to take on Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu at Bad Blood. It is a blockbuster tag team match, which will likely set up The OTC's first singles bout since WrestleMania XL.
Reigns and Solo may face each other one-on-one at Crown Jewel, with The Bloodline potentially getting involved. The new Tribal Chief needs to pick up the win there, establishing the heel group as a dominant force ahead of their potential WarGames match against the original Bloodline.
Solo Sikoa pinning Roman Reigns after interference would help set up the next chapter. The Usos would then arrive and help their former leader in this war. But what happens to Cody Rhodes? Well, he may have some explaining to do.
#1. Cody Rhodes could face Randy Orton and Kevin Owens in a triple-threat match, before getting attacked
Teaming with Roman Reigns might be considered a cardinal sin, considering everything Cody Rhodes has gone through with The Bloodline. His two biggest allies on SmackDown, Randy Orton and Kevin Owens will not be happy at all.
The two of them can simultaneously challenge The American Nightmare to an Undisputed WWE Title match at Crown Jewel. A triple threat between Rhodes, Orton, and Owens would be great in the ring, with a lot of tension between all parties.
This may boil over into a massive betrayal at Crown Jewel, with both Kevin Owens and Randy Orton out for blood. So, after Cody Rhodes pins KO, The Viper could strike and hit him with an RKO. That's what happens when you team up with Roman Reigns.
