WWE Crown Jewel debuted on November 2, 2018, at King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It became a recurring WWE premium live event, with no edition in 2020. In 2024, WWE introduced men’s and women’s Crown Jewel Championship matches pitting world champions against each other. Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan were the inaugural Crown Jewel Championship winners; Seth Rollins and Stephanie Vaquer won the 2025 matches. The October 11, 2025 event at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia, was the first Crown Jewel staged outside Saudi Arabia. The November 7, 2026 event returned to Riyadh, moving from the originally announced Riyadh Season Stadium at KAFD to The Venue (ANB Arena).
