Triple H to snub top star, most unique cash-in ever? - 4 huge questions for WWE at Crown Jewel 2024
WWE Crown Jewel 2024 is just around the corner, and the buzz for the annual Saudi event is palpable. Despite a slow start to its buildup, the final stretch of the road to the Mohammed Abdo Arena has ramped excitement through the roof. With seven matches on the card as opposed to the typical five of the Triple H era, the audience has more exciting action to look forward to, and more stories to follow.
Heading into the Riyadh event, there are naturally some questions niggling at fans, the answers to which may or may not be revealed on the night. It will be interesting to witness how they are addressed to further the featured storylines and set up the path to Survivor Series: War Games 2024.
Without further ado, let's explore four massive questions that need to be answered at WWE Crown Jewel 2024
#4: How will Crown Jewel set up WWE Survivor Series 2024?
WWE Crown Jewel 2024 will be the Stamford-based company's last major pitstop before Survivor Series: WarGames. The traditional "Big Four" PLE is one of the most anticipated shows of the year, with multiple massive matchups expected both in the iconic steel structure and elsewhere on the card.
War Games could see the two versions of the Bloodline face-off as well as featuring matchups like Gunther vs CM Punk. How will these bouts be set up by Crown Jewel? What seeds will be planted for potential matches such as Cody Rhodes vs Kevin Owens? There is a lot of potential to create massive intrigue for The Thanksgiving Spectacle in Riyadh.
Speaking of which...
#3: Which returns or interferences will happen at WWE Crown Jewel 2024?
The road to WWE Crown Jewel 2024 has been littered with multi-faceted storylines. While they have been building to the matches at the annual Saudi show, they have also been planting the seeds for stories beyond it. As a result, some of the Superstars on the card have been running rivalries with competitors in other matches or not featured at all.
This could result in several surprise returns and interferences happening at the Mohammed Abdo arena. Could Goldberg return to attack Gunther for his incendiary comments at Bad Blood? What about Kevin Owens laying another beatdown on Cody Rhodes? Could Rhea Ripley get revenge on Liv Morgan for leaving her a bloody mess in the NXT parking lot?
The annual Saudi Arabia PLE could serve up some incredibly exciting twists courtesy of surprise returns and interferences.
#2: Will Tiffany Stratton have the most unique cash-in of all time at WWE Crown Jewel 2024?
Nia Jax and Liv Morgan will compete to become the first-ever women's Crown Jewel champion at WWE Crown Jewel 2024. The two women's champions have a chance to achieve a historic feat by claiming the new title, but they could also lose it all courtesy of Tiffany Stratton. The Center Of The Universe, of course, is the current Ms. Money In The Bank, and has tension with both Jax and Morgan.
Could we see a cash-in at the annual Saudi spectacle? Will Stratton stay loyal to The Irresistible Force by targeting the Women's World Champion? Will she finally get out of Jax's shadow and turn against the latter for months of manipulation and intimidation? Could she make history and win both titles by making it a triple-threat match?
The 25-year-old could potentially pull off the most unprecedented cash-in in Money In The Bank history
#1: Who will main event WWE Crown Jewel 2024?
The discourse in the final days heading into WWE Crown Jewel 2024 has been dominated by one question: Who will main event the PLE? On one hand, two sets of world champions will battle over prizes specifically branded after the annual Saudi show, making them incredibly important to the night. On the other hand, there are some massive names in big storylines that could also headline.
Will Cody Rhodes vs Gunther close out the night as they compete for a title named after the PLE? The same can be said of Nia Jax and Liv Morgan, who could be the first women to main event a Saudi show. Will The Bloodline tag team match take that spot, given that the iconic storyline has almost always headlined any show it has been on, especially with Roman Reigns involved?
Triple H will have to snub one of his top stars while deciding who goes on last, and The Game and his team are guaranteed to annoy a section of the fans either way.
