Report: WWE Crown Jewel Planned Match Order, Backstage Notes
Final notes before the show
A new report from Fightful Select lists the planned match order for today's WWE Crown Jewel pay-per-view in Riyadh.
As things are currently set (and barring any sort of change), the match order for Crown Jewel currently goes:
* Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley
* WWE Women's Tag: Alexa Bliss and Asuka (c) vs. Damage CTRL
* Steel Cage: Drew McIntyre vs. Karrion Kross
* AJ Styles and The Good Brothers vs. Judgment Day
* Braun Strowman vs. Omos
* WWE Tag Team: The Usos (c) vs. The Brawling Brutes
* Raw Women's/Last Woman Standing: Bianca Belair (c) vs. Bayley
* Bray Wyatt's appearance
* Undisputed WWE Universal: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Logan Paul
According to a separate report from Fightful Select, MVP did not make the trip to Saudi Arabia to corner for Omos. The report notes that MVP is a Muslim turned atheist, which is punishable in Saudi Arabia. Strowman's attack on MVP on Monday's Raw was designed to write MVP off of today's show.
The same report notes that there are plans to have UFC-style "locker room look ins" on Reigns and Paul preceding their title match.
