Speaking of Priest, he’ll go face-to-face with Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel. Rhodes has been feuding with the Judgment Day for weeks now, and has challenged all of its members in various tag team matches on “WWE Raw” with a variety of partners, from Jey Uso to Sami Zayn. Rhodes even had a blink-and-you-miss-it tag team title reign alongside Uso, though the pair recently lost the titles back to Priest and Finn Balor.
There are two women’s matches on the card in Saudi Arabia. The first, announced weeks ago, is a fatal five-way match where Rhea Ripley will defend her Women’s World Championship against Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, Zoey Stark, and Raquel Rodriguez. Ripley and Rodriguez had previously been in a feud, but things have broken down into a big brawling morass involving all the women, each of whom believes she deserves a shot at “Mami” for the title. On the “WWE SmackDown” side of things, WWE Women’s Champion IYO SKY will put her title on the line against a very recently returned Bianca Belair. Belair skipped the line of women waiting for a chance at SKY, coming to the aid of Charlotte Flair on an episode of “SmackDown” when Flair failed to capture the title from SKY.
The final championship match on the card will see Rey Mysterio defend his United States Championship against part-time WWE star Logan Paul. The match was set shortly after Paul called out the WWE Hall of Famer following a boxing victory. Paul said he was coming for the championship gold, but it was nothing personal against Mysterio.
