Roman Reigns has his eyes on a Crown Jewel PLE win.
The Crown Jewel 2026 PLE will take place on November 7 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, but the event has undergone a venue change. Originally scheduled for Riyadh Season Stadium at KAFD, the Premium Live Event is now expected to be held at ANB Arena.
While there are reasons for the venue change, the PLE will see World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns scheduled to face Undisputed Champion Sami Zayn in a marquee Champion vs. Champion match. With the two champions heading towards their showdown, Reigns’ appearance in Brooklyn for November 2 Monday Night Raw becomes a big question for fans.

Will Roman Reigns appear on WWE Raw in Brooklyn?
Yes, Reigns is confirmed for the November 2 episode of Raw at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The program’s official event listing advertises the World Heavyweight Champion among the featured Superstars, while Netflix’s preview for the episode has also listed his appearance. This will be his next scheduled television appearance after the October 19 edition of Raw in San Diego.
The OTC’s biggest priority will be his upcoming clash with Sami Zayn at Crown Jewel. OTC and Zayn have a complicated history dating back to their time together in the original Bloodline, and their rivalry has gained fresh intensity since Zayn became Undisputed Champion.
Reigns previously warned the champion that he might not even hold the title by the time they meet in Riyadh. A face-to-face confrontation on the November 2 show could further intensify the rivalry and give both men one final opportunity to make a statement before their match.
The Head of the Table could also address his approach to competing without interference from his family, particularly as tensions involving The Bloodline and The 946 continue. His recent involvement in the faction rivalry has kept the door open for a possible Survivor Series: WarGames storyline.
However, WWE has not announced a match or segment for him on the upcoming episode of the red brand, so any confrontation or further developments remain speculative.
What else is in store for WWE Raw this week?
The November 2 episode will also feature John Cena‘s return to Raw for the first time since Backlash 2026. The 17-time world champion is expected to provide an update on the John Cena Classic, which he announced during his previous appearance.
Another confirmed match will see Solo Sikoa take on Royce Keys. The contest will continue the ongoing rivalry between The Bloodline and The 946. Sikoa accepted Keys’ challenge in a segment involving the Bloodline, setting up their singles encounter in Brooklyn.
Fans can expect the involvement of other members from both factions during the singles match as neither team had a clear upper hand in recent faceoffs. In their recent faceoff, though, the Bloodline handled the business with the help of OTC at Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California, on October 19.
The show will emanate from the Barclays Center and will have a special early start time as the Stamford-based promotion will tape SmackDown after the red brand episode concludes, allowing the roster and crew to prepare for their trip to Saudi Arabia ahead of Crown Jewel 2026.
Is Roman Reigns confirmed for Raw on November 2, 2026?
Yes. Reigns is officially advertised for the November 2 episode of Raw at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
