WWE is back in Saudi Arabia today with a stacked Crown Jewel show and Logan Paul in his first main event.
Just three matches into his pro wrestling career, the controversial YouTuber will have his brother Jake for backup as finds himself in a high profile match with even higher stakes and battles Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
Like football, the F1 and more, WWE has its own ties to Saudi Arabia, and this weekend’s show is the latest in the company’s longrunning partnership.
In terms of the in-ring action, the card itself looks stacked from top to bottom, with a mix of huge title bouts, grudge matches and even a battle of the giants.
As it stands, there are seven matches set for the night, including a huge Last Woman Standing clash as Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair puts her gold on the line.
As ever, we’ve put together our regular guide with all the matches, streaming details and more, and here’s everything you need to know about the show…

What can you expect from WWE Crown Jewel? Predictions for the show, Bray Wyatt appearance and more
WWE is looking to continues its pretty consistent run of exciting premium live event with Crown Jewel, and the Saudi Arabia shows – despite some clear controversy – are a flagship part of its calendar.
In recent years, the events have shifted from feeling like one-off showcases more about statement matches – with varying results – to cohesive, action-packed cards more in line with the company’s weekly programming.
Looking to this evening’s show, Roman Reigns will almost definitely beat Logan Paul to retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Title, although Jake Paul could make a difference at ringside.

Logan has proven he can go in the ring, but this is his biggest test to date – and there’s always a chance the company will opt for a headline-grabbing result.
Bianca Belair is still hugely popular as Raw Women’s Champion and she’s deserving of this lengthy run, but Bayley – and Damage CTRL as a whole – certainly need something to give them some momentum.
While Bayley could get the gold, Asuka and Alexa Bliss capturing the Women’s Tag Team Titles on Raw this week makes it unlikely they’ll drop the gold straight back to Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai.
Brock Lesnar should beat Bobby Lashley to set up a dream rubber match, which could be put into action at the Royal Rumble to build to an epic WrestleMania showdown in April 2023.
Elsewhere, The Usos will likely defeat Brawling Brutes in an absolute banger, Braun Strowman should beat Omos, while neither The O.C. or Judgment Day can really afford a loss, which makes their bout an intriguing one.
There’s also the matter of a Bray Wyatt appearance at Crown Jewel, with plenty of options as the star continues his enigmatic and intriguing comeback.
