Production[edit]
Background[edit]
In early 2018, the American professional wrestling promotion WWE began a 10-year strategic multiplatform partnership with the Ministry of Sport (formerly General Sports Authority) in support of Saudi Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia's social and economic reform program.[1][2] Crown Jewel was then established later that same year as one of the recurring events in this partnership to be held in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, in late October–early November. Officially announced on May 25, 2024 during King and Queen of the Ring, the sixth Crown Jewel, and 12th overall event in the Saudi Arabian partnership, is scheduled to be held on Saturday, November 2, 2024.[3] The event will air on pay-per-view worldwide and will be available to livestream on Peacock in the United States and the WWE Network in most international markets, and it will feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brand divisions.
Storylines[edit]
The event will include matches that resulted from scripted storylines. Results were predetermined by WWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands,[4][5] while storylines were produced on WWE's weekly television shows, Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.[6]
