    WWE loves its premium international live events and the eighth of the year takes place on Saturday with Crown Jewel 2024.

    Crown Jewel is now a staple of WWE's fall calendar and will be held in Saudi Arabia for the sixth time since its inception in 2018. With seven games scheduled, the tournament has one of the biggest cards of 2024, the most since SummerSlam in August.

    The highlight of the day will be the cross-brand duels between WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion Guenther, and between Women's World Champion Nia Jax and Women's World Champion Liv Morgan, with the winner of each bout being the newly revealed will win the crown jewel title. Two titles – the United States and Women's Tag Team Championships – will be defended and three singles matches will take place with some heated rivalries including the old Bloodline versus the new Bloodline.

    Game is running.

    Bianca Belair and Iyo Sky opened the action and set the tone for their match in great style, similar to their bout at Backlash in 2023.

    Damage CTRL was the star early on, even if there was a botched spot on the turnbuckle. Even when the action turned chaotic as expected, Kairi Sane and Sky executed a beautiful InSane elbow and over the moonsault combination. The champions took everyone out and Jade Cargill tried to get a pin, but that was quickly thwarted. Each team then unleashed their own impressive moves, but Piper Niven mistakenly shut down Chelsea Green. It gave the champions enough time to capitalize with a Doomsday Device on Niven to defeat them and get Belair the pin to retain the titles.

    Analysis: A match in which every team was able to demonstrate their skills. This match was where Damage CTRL really shined, with Sky and Sane proving that they are still among the sport's top performers. However, the defending champions' strength still exceeded all other teams to do enough to stay.

    The women's tag team division is still heavily carried by Cargill and Belair, and they need a legitimate challenger to try and dethrone them. It looks like the champions are set to face off in a WrestleMania match, so one team will have to take the titles and prove themselves worthy soon.

    The match started with Tonga Loa and Jey Uso, and Uso quickly went to his brother to bring back the dynamic tag team duo. The twin brothers quickly took advantage, forcing Solo Sikoa to huddle his team. However, Jey Uso's decision not to involve Roman Reigns showed that there was still some work to be done with the old bloodline, and the distraction was enough for the new bloodline to go on the offensive.

    The momentum shifted back and forth over the next few minutes, and when Jey Uso was down, he eventually tagged in Reigns for his first action of the match. He met Sikoa in the middle of the ring and the “OTC” quickly went to work against his rival. Reigns tried to end the match with a Superman punch and a spear, but Sikoa countered with a Samoan spike. Sikoa attempted the pin, but Jimmy Uso was able to break it in time.

    As the carnage left the ring, Reigns tried to stop the match against Sikoa, but Tonga was able to get the referee out. Fatu then launched a brutal attack on Reigns. When the referee got back up, Sikoa delivered several Samoan spikes to Reigns to get the pin and remain tribal chief.

    After the match ended, Reigns and Co. tried to fight back, but the attempt was unsuccessful. The new bloodline did more damage to their opponents, and as they were about to deliver the devastating blow to Jay Uso, Sami Zayn appeared.

    He faced Sikoa, surprised him with an attack, and the rest of his old friends came to help him. Sikoa was surrounded in the middle of the ring and when Zayn tried a damn kick, Sikoa dodged and accidentally hit Reigns. An argument ensued while Zayn left confused.

    Analysis: A perfect addition to start the evening. There was never a lull in the action and the audience was excited to see the next chapter of The Bloodline.

    The result made sense; The new bloodline is clearly still dominant and has a numerical advantage. The Usos still have some issues to work out, but it was a bit surprising to see Sikoa defeat Reigns and assert his dominance over the “OTC.” The rivalry will last until the end of the year, and the old bloodline was still one person short of being able to compete. The emergence of Zayn – even if it wasn't entirely successful – announced that the ancient bloodline finally had the fourth person it needed to take on its opponents. A WarGames Survivor Series match is certainly brewing between the two teams, and the teams are now all but ready.

    Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso made their epic entrance together.

    • WWE Women's Crown Jewel Championship match: WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax vs. Women's Champion Liv Morgan
    • Triple Threat Match for the US Championship: LA Knight (c) vs. Andrade vs. Carmelo Hayes
    • Fatal four-way tag team battle for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship: Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair (c) vs. Kairi Sane and Iyo Sky vs. Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson vs. Chelsea Green and Piper Niven

    • Seth Rollins vs. Bronson Reed
    • Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens
    • Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther: There's a great duel here between the two best champions, but I don't see any way for one to get a clear victory over the other. To keep both champions strong, I expect some level of interference here. winner: Pull.
    • Liv Morgan vs Nia Jax: For Morgan, things are going in her favor heading into this match. She will likely have members of the Last Judgment at her side. She doesn't have to worry much about Rhea Ripley, who suffered an injury on NXT earlier this week. We also have to see what place Tiffany Stratton takes as the briefcase holder of Money in the Bank. winner: Liv Morgan.
    • LA Knight (c) vs. Andrade vs. Carmelo Hayes: I'd have to keep an eye out for Carmelo here. He could exit as the new champion if WWE wants to use the opportunity to boost a rising star. winner: Carmelo Hayes.
    • Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair (c) vs. Kairi Sane and Iyo Sky vs. Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson vs. Chelsea Green and Piper Niven: I don't think Jade and Bianca will lose the titles just yet. I think they will retain the titles, but I expect Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson to put on impressive performances as they continue to make a name for themselves on the main roster. winner: Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair.
    • Roman Reigns, Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso vs. The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu): Roman and The Usos are back together despite everything that's happened in the last few years, but I expect Solo and The Bloodline to capitalize on their numerical advantage in this one. winner: The bloodline.
    • Seth Rollins vs. Bronson Reed: Reed has been trying to make a statement in recent weeks, and there's no better opportunity for him to do that than against a former world champion like Rollins. This game has the potential to be the best game of the night. winner: Bronson Reed.
    • Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens: Owens hasn't been happy with some of his friends lately, including Orton. I expect Owens to continue playing mind games with Orton and defeat him in this matchup. winner:Kevin Owens.
    • Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther: This will be a technical wrestling clinic designed to bring out the best in each other. Even though Gunther has been such a dominant force in everything he does, it's hard to imagine the WWE Champion falling in a match that doesn't have a major impact. Winner: Cody Rhodes.
    • Liv Morgan vs Nia Jax: Liv Morgan is on a roll, while Nia Jax is a little unsure about her reign. Tiffany Stratton has a great opportunity to cash in her Money in the Bank contract against her soon-to-be former girlfriend. Winner: Liv Morgan.
    • LA Knight (c) vs. Andrade vs. Carmelo Hayes: LA Knight has helped bring some prestige back to the US title and become a solid champion. The rivalry between Hayes and Andrade will make this match compelling, but the champion retains. Winner: L.A. Knight.
    • Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair (c) vs. Kairi Sane and Iyo Sky vs. Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson vs. Chelsea Green and Piper Niven: Cargill and Belair may be on a collision course, and Saturday is a great opportunity to wrest the titles from them and lay the foundation for a rivalry. One duo flying under the radar is Sane and Sky, who continue to excel in the ring and bring more gold to Damage CTRL. Winner: Kairi Sane and Iyo Sky.
    • Roman Reigns, Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso vs. The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu): The original bloodline coming together will be great, but there is still a piece missing in their quest to overthrow the new bloodline. This feud is far from over and Jacob Fatu plays a big role in his team achieving victory. Winner: The bloodline.
    • Seth Rollins vs. Bronson Reed: Don't be surprised if this match steals the show. These two stars held nothing back when they met, and this one will be a chaotic mess that will see Rollins put back at the center of the event. Winner: Seth Rollins.
    • Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens: Owens is on a warpath while Orton tries to stop him. Trying to talk sense into Owens will be Orton's downfall. Winner: Kevin Owens.

    The stage for Crown Jewel looks like it did last year, with a huge screen from which the wrestlers perform.

    When Cody Rhodes takes on Gunther and Nia Jax takes on Liv Morgan, they're fighting for more than just the Crown Jewel Championship.

    WWE chief content officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque said Friday that winners of the match would receive a “giant Super Bowl-like” ring. Since the event is now an annual event, stars also get the chance to collect multiple rings.
