WWE Crown Jewel 2024: Full match-card predictions
WWE's next premium live event, Crown Jewel 2024, will air live from the Mohammed Abdo Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on November 2. The company will kick off its build towards the November spectacle on tonight's WWE RAW.
With this being an international event, fans should expect the company to put the best foot forward. Several high-profile matches, featuring some of the biggest names of the company, could headline the premium live event.
That said, here are full match-card predictions for Crown Jewel 2024:
#4. Announced matches for Crown Jewel 2024
WWE's Head of Creative, Triple H, returned at Bad Blood to introduce the Crown Jewel titles. The Game announced that the reigning Undisputed WWE Champion will be taking on the World Heavyweight Champion, while the reigning WWE Women's Champion will lock horns with the Women's World Champion at Crown Jewel 2024.
The winner of both matches will win the inaugural Crown Jewel Championship. Nia Jax, the current Women's Champion will clash with the Women's World Champion, Liv Morgan at the event.
Meanwhile, the current Undisputed WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes will take on the winner of Gunther vs. Sami Zayn, which is scheduled for tonight's WWE RAW. While it could be anybody's game, The Ring General is likely to retain his title tonight.
Prediction: Liv Morgan from WWE RAW could prevail over Nia Jax due to interference from Dominik Mysterio, while Cody Rhodes from SmackDown could defeat Gunther to win the Crown Jewel Title.
#3. Goldberg could lock horns with Bron Breakker
Goldberg made a surprising return at Bad Blood and got involved in a heated confrontation with Gunther. While a potential match between the duo could be on the cards, the company may save it for a later date, given Gunther will likely retain his World Heavyweight Title tonight to face Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel 2024.
Meanwhile, the creative team could book the wrestling legend in a blockbuster match against Bron Breakker at Crown Jewel 2024. A dream match between the duo has been rumored ever since Breakker's main roster debut, and with Goldberg finally back in the company, the creative team may book the same for the Saudi spectacle.
Prediction: There's no way the promotion will have a future main-eventer like Breakker lose to Goldberg. Fans should expect the up-and-coming star to defeat the wrestling veteran in a potential match at Crown Jewel 2024.
#2. Rhea Ripley could take on Raquel Rodriguez
Rhea Ripley took on Liv Morgan for the Women's World Title at Bad Blood. However, Mami was unable to claim the title due to Raquel Rodriguez's interference. While she won by disqualification, the title did not change hands.
The 33-year-old star returned from her hiatus to lay waste to Ripley, costing her the high-stakes bout against Liv Morgan. Given how things unfolded, a potential match between the duo could be on the cards at Crown Jewel 2024.
Prediction: Rhea Ripley could avenge her Bad Blood loss by defeating Raquel Rodriguez fair and square.
#1. Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa
Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes defeated The Bloodline in a tag team match at Bad Blood. Following his big win, we may see Reigns challenge Solo to a singles contest.
While The American Nightmare is expected to be busy with his feud against Gunther, the company could book the highly-awaited singles match between the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief and The Original Tribal Chief for the Saudi spectacle. This potential match could lay down the breadcrumbs for the rumored WarGames match between Team Roman Reigns and The Bloodline at Survivor Series.
Prediction: Solo Sikoa could defeat Roman Reigns due to The Rock's interference. The Final Boss could make his presence felt in the potential match to cost The OTC a win.
