WWE has determined the match order for tonight’s Crown Jewel event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. According to PWInsider’s Mike Johnson, the six-man tag team match featuring Roman Reigns and The Usos against The Bloodline will kick off the premium live event, while Cody Rhodes and GUNTHER’s Crown Jewel Championship clash will serve as the main event.
The opening contest marks a significant moment for The Bloodline storyline, as Roman Reigns reunites with Jimmy and Jey Uso to face Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and Tama Tonga. SmackDown commentator Michael Cole confirmed that Tonga Loa will accompany The Bloodline’s team at ringside during the match.
Earlier speculation centered on whether the Crown Jewel Championship matches would headline the event. Both Cody Rhodes vs. GUNTHER and Liv Morgan vs. Nia Jax received substantial build-up in recent weeks, leading to questions about their placement on the card.

This match order allows WWE to bookend the premium live event with two of its most anticipated contests, starting with The Bloodline’s internal warfare and concluding with what promises to be a hard-hitting championship encounter between Rhodes and GUNTHER.
