Five potential Crown Jewel bouts WWE can book after Money in the Bank 2026
WWE’s Money in the Bank 2026 in New Orleans produced a string of confrontations and outcomes that suggest five viable matches for Crown Jewel in Riyadh on November 7, 2026. The developments at the premium live event have created fresh rivalry angles and title implications for the next PLE.
Money in the Bank 2026 was described as a highly spectacular event for the TKO-led company and generated several storyline shifts that could be carried into Crown Jewel. Penta and Tiffany Stratton emerged as the men’s and women’s Money in the Bank ladder match winners in New Orleans, creating potential future title opportunities. One night before Money in the Bank PLE on SmackDown, Jade Cargill and her allies attacked Charlotte Flair, costing Flair a tag team title opportunity and reigniting their feud. The main event featured the 2026 Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match, in which the heated history between CM Punk and Kevin Owens was on display.
Jade Cargill vs Charlotte Flair: Jade Cargill’s attack on Charlotte Flair one night before Money in the Bank PLE on SmackDown deprived Flair of a tag team title opportunity and reopened their rivalry. The assault and its timing set up a renewed singles program between the two, which the article argues would be suitable for a top-tier PLE like Crown Jewel. That sequence of events is presented as the core justification for booking a one-on-one match between Cargill and Flair in Riyadh.
Chelsea Green (c) vs Nikki Bella for the WWE Women’s Championship: Nikki Bella has publicly stated she wants the WWE Women’s Championship from Chelsea Green, and the piece notes that "The Hot Mess has called Nikki her dream opponent." The mutual acknowledgement between the two is framed as grounds for a title match at Crown Jewel. The article positions a Chelsea Green–Nikki Bella showdown as a plausible marquee women’s match on the card.
Bron Breakker vs Je’Von Evans: Money in the Bank featured a moment in which Bron Breakker tossed Je’Von Evans from the top of a ladder, and Evans crashed through an ambulance roof. The article states that if the Young OG is cleared for in-ring action by Crown Jewel, Evans could seek revenge against Breakker in a singles bout at the Riyadh PLE. That sequence—ladder spot, ambulance crash, and potential medical clearance—is presented as the factual basis for the proposed matchup.
Stephanie Vaquer vs Becky Lynch: A final-moment altercation at Money in the Bank allowed Liv Morgan to steal the WWE Women’s World Championship, leaving Stephanie Vaquer and Becky Lynch frustrated, according to the article. Those tensions between Vaquer and Lynch are described as liable to escalate into a singles confrontation in the weeks leading to Crown Jewel. The piece suggests that a Vaquer–Lynch match would be a natural extension of the title confusion that occurred during the PLE.
CM Punk vs Kevin Owens: The report notes that the heated history between CM Punk and Kevin Owens was visible during the 2026 Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match in the main event. Given that on-ring exchange, the article recommends a further encounter between Punk and Owens at Crown Jewel, describing it as a potential marquee singles match.
WWE Crown Jewel 2026 is scheduled for Saturday, November 7, 2026, at Riyadh Season Stadium at King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
