At Bad Blood, Triple H made a shocking announcement that transformed the WWE. At Crown Jewel, there will be a new title on the line.
“This year at Crown Jewel we will make history because it will be the beginning of a new era for WWE. An annual event that will take place with Crown Jewel where our reigning WWE champion will face our reigning world champion for both the men and the women” Triple H told a sold-out State Farm arena on Saturday.
Liv Morgan will face Nia Jax at Crown Jewel on Saturday, November 2nd and Cody Rhodes will take on Gunther.
Following Gunther’s win over Sami Zayn on Monday Night Raw, the show concluded with Cody Rhodes’s entrance music, signaling a build-up between WWE champion Cody Rhodes and World Champion Gunther.
Crown Jewel will take place in Saudi Arabia as part of Riyadh season. Creating a huge spectacle was a goal in creating Crown Jewel. Having the WWE champion and world champions face off creates a must-watch event for wrestling fans.
Following Monday Night Raw, Triple H revealed the official poster for Crown Jewel that features Cody Rhodes and Gunther at the top, signaling they will be the main event.
This is a very interesting story opportunity for the WWE. Gunther was the longest-reigning intercontinental champion in company history. The current world heavyweight champion is one of the best wrestlers in the world, a great heel, and someone the WWE has been trying to build up for a while.
Cody Rhodes's storyline with Roman Reigns, The Final Boss, and the Bloodline has been one of the best stories in WWE history. However, it will be refreshing to give Rhodes the opportunity to face a different challenge and heel.
Rhodes has been a workhouse for the WWE since his return two years ago, he is one of the most likable wrestlers on the roster and one of the company's best baby faces since John Cena. Making Rhodes the first-ever Crown Jewel champion would be a good thing to put on the resume of the first-time champion.
The announcement of the Crown Jewel has received backlash but the title gives the opportunity to create a new mega event for the WWE. It will also allow for Roman Reigns and the new Bloodline feud to be the main focus of Survivor Series at the end of November.
The announcement of a new title at Crown Jewel marks a significant shift in WWE's direction, promising an exciting main event featuring Cody Rhodes and Gunther while also allowing for fresh storylines and rivalries to develop. This event not only aims to create a memorable spectacle but also positions WWE for a new era of competition and storytelling.
