The PLE will be hosted in Saudi Arabia
WWE is all geared up for his highly anticipated event The Crown Jewel which will take place in Saudi Arabia. The promotion will host the 2024 Crown Jewel PLE on November 2, 2024, at the Mohammed Abdo Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
WWE Crown Jewel is the starting point of an entirely novel tradition for the professional wrestling promotion. Raw and SmackDown’s world champions will face off to determine the inaugural Crown Jewel champions in the men’s and women’s divisions.
WWE has booked a total of seven matches for the show featuring some of the major stars in the company. With less than a day before the 2024 Crown Jewel PLE, here are Khel Now’s predictions for this year’s Crown Jewel event.
Men’s Crown Jewel Championship- Cody Rhodes vs Gunther
Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will face WWE Heavyweight Champion Gunhter for the inaugural Crown Jewel title at the Saudi PLE. The winner in the ‘Champion vs Champion’ bout will be crowned the first-ever Crown Jewel Champion.
The two champions colliding in the Saudi PLE makes for a must-watch TV but the chances for Rhodes to win this title are slim. Due to his recent feuds and a potential intervention by Gunther’s friend Ludwig Kaiser, there is a strong possibility that there might be an outside interference that might help Gunther win the Crown Jewel title.
Predicted winner: Gunther

Women’s Crown Jewel Championship- Nia Jax vs Liv Morgan
WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan will face WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax for the inaugural title at the Saudi PLE. The ‘Champion vs Champion’ match at this week’s PLE will be the first instance that the WWE Women’s Champion and WWE Women’s World Champion will clash for the Crown Jewel Title.
WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax has a higher chance of winning this match as the WWE has recently favored and pushed Jax on many occasions. In her latest run, she has not only won the title but also is the winner of this year’s Queen of the Ring tournament.
On the other hand, Morgan is involved in a feud with Rhea Ripley and is also involved with the Judgement Day storyline. This might lead to the WWE Women’s Champion winning the Crown Jewel Title at the PLE.
Predicted winner: Nia Jax
LA Knight vs Carmelo Hayes vs Andrade (U.S Title)
United States Champion LA Knight will defend his title against Carmelo Hayes and Andrade in a triple-threat match at the Crown Jewel PLE.
LA Knight is one of the biggest names in the Blue brand and might have been the face of the brand if Cody Rhodes had been an inactive star. Knight has in recent times taken a back seat and isn’t much involved in major storylines.
However, he is still a heavy fan favorite of baby faces and would benefit more from the title. Therefore Knight would probably retain his US Title against Hayes and Andrade.
Predicted winner: LA Knight
Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill vs IYO SKY and Kairi Sane vs Piper Niven and Chelsea Green vs Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson (Women’s Tag Titles)
WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill will put their title on the line against Iyo Sky and Kairi Sane, Piper Niven and Chelsea Green, Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson in a fatal four-way match.
There are a lot of names and star power in this matchup but the winner would be decided on the basis of what makes the most sense moving forward for the promotion. Cargill and Belair are on an impressive title run and it seems like they will retain the tag titles in the Crown Jewel PLE.
Predicted winner: Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill

Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins vs Bronson Reed
Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins will take on his fierce rival Bronson Reed in a grudge match to settle their long-running feud which saw both stars attack each other with brutal intentions multiple times.
Reed has been given a push by the promotion his match with Rollins is certainly proof of that. Despite this push, Rollins will probably defeat Reed at the Saudi PLE. The match will potentially be a lopsided one with Reed manhandling Rollins but Rollins will probably find a way to tame the monster.
Predicted winner: Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins
Kevin Owens vs Randy Orton
In a second grudge match, two former friends Randy Orton and Kevin Owens will face each other to settle their dispute after the recent fallout and subsequent attack on Orton by Owens.
Although, Orton is a veteran in the promotion, as of now Owens is too central to the storyline with Rhodes to lose. The match between the stars might become one of the highlights of the evening.
The promotion needs to keep Owens in the win column and at the top to face the Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes in the future. Triple H also stated before making this fight official that he was trying to save Orton. Therefore, Owens could win the match against Orton to further the storyline against Rhodes.
Predicted winner: Kevin Owens
Roman Reigns & The Usos vs The Bloodline
One of the biggest matches on this card despite the fact that it has no titles on the line or even title implications in the picture is the match between the OG Bloodline vs the rogue Bloodline.
The OG Bloodline which consists of Jey Uso, Roman Reigns, and Jimmy Uso will take on the rogue Bloodline faction consisting of Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa.
The practical finish for this match should be The Bloodline winning the fight be it with the help of distractions or outright interference. This win would keep the storyline intriguing and make it more vehement for the upcoming Survivor Series.
However, there might be a possibility that the promotion decides to let the team of Reigns and The Usos win and give the fans a treat of watching their OG Bloodline win. If the promotion takes this path it would have to work extra hard in the upcoming shows to build up the fight for Survivor Series.
Predicted winner: Roman Reigns & The Usos
