Fatal Five-Way Women's World Title Match Set For WWE Crown Jewel
Rhea Ripley will defend her title against four opponents at WWE Crown Jewel.
Oct 17, 2023
A second match has been confirmed for WWE Crown Jewel 2023, which is set to take place on November 4 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
This week's Raw saw a continuation of the recent breakdown in the women's division, with Zoey Stark attacking reigning Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley during her match against Shayna Baszler. This led to a brawl also involving Raquel Rodriguez and recent returnee Nia Jax, prompting Adam Pearce to book a title match between the five for Crown Jewel.
Rhea has held the WWE Women's World Championship since defeating Charlotte Flair on night one of this year's WrestleMania.
The other match currently confirmed for Crown Jewel will see Seth Rollins defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre. Rollins recently defeated Shinsuke Nakamura in a Last Man Standing match at Fastlane, only to almost fall victim to a Money in the Bank cash-in the following night on Raw. Drew put a stop to the cash-in attempt from briefcase-holder Damian Priest and Judgment Day stablemate Dominik Mysterio.
At the time of writing, Priest is currently one-half of the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions alongside Finn Balor. With Rhea as Women's World Champion and Dominik holding the NXT North American title, every full-time member of the Judgment Day currently holds gold within WWE.
