WWE Crown Jewel
Updated: 1/1/1970, 12:00:00 AM Wikipedia source
WWE Crown Jewel is a professional wrestling event produced by WWE, an American-based promotion. It is broadcast live and available only through pay-per-view (PPV) and WWE's livestreaming platforms. Established in 2018, the event has been held every year since except in 2020, which was due to the COVID-19 pandemic that year, and it is typically held in late October—early November. Since 2024, the event has been centered around the men's and women's Crown Jewel Championship matches, held between the respective men's and women's world champions of WWE's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions to determine who is the better champion. Crown Jewel was originally WWE's main recurring event that took place in Saudi Arabia as part of a 10-year partnership in support of Saudi Vision 2030; the inaugural Crown Jewel was the second event in this partnership. The event's name was originally a reference to it taking place in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, and it was held as part of the Riyadh Season festival. Due to the 2026 Royal Rumble taking place as part of the 2025–2026 Riyadh Season, the 2025 Crown Jewel instead took place in Perth, Australia.
