First WWE Crown Jewel Championship match set for next month

The first match for Crown Jewel next month is official.

As Cody Rhodes began to answer a question at the Wrestlepalooza post-show over what was next, he was interrupted by Seth Rollins’ music. Rhodes got up and the two had a staredown, indicating a match could be on the horizon. When Triple H came out for his interview, he confirmed the two would meet at Crown Jewel in Perth, Australia on October 10 to determine the next men’s Crown Jewel Champion.

The concept of a Crown Jewel Championship was introduced at last year’s show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Cody Rhodes defeated Gunther to become the first-ever men’s champion, while Liv Morgan defeated Nia Jax to become the women’s Crown Jewel Champion. 

Rhodes was successful in the main event of Wrestlepalooza, defeating Drew McIntyre to retain the WWE title. Seth Rollins wasn’t so lucky, with he and wife Becky Lynch losing to another husband and wife tag team in CM Punk and AJ Lee.
