WWE champions after Crown Jewel 2026
The 2026 Crown Jewel event concluded at the ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on November 7, with World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns defeating Sami Zayn to capture the 2026 Crown Jewel title in the PLE main event. Several championships changed hands on the card, including the World Tag Team and WWE Women’s titles.
The first match of the Premium Live Event saw Cody Rhodes defeat Randy Orton in a Last Man Standing match after delivering a vicious punt kick. Penta and Je’Von Evans defeated The Vision’s Bron Breakker and Austin Theory to become the new World Tag Team Champions, with Oba Femi returning to neutralize Bronson Reed and help the babyfaces win. In the women’s division Chelsea Green overcame Liv Morgan in a Champion vs Champion clash to claim the 2026 Women’s Crown Jewel title in front of a roaring crowd that showered Green with love, only for Tiffany Stratton to intervene afterward.
Rhodes’ victory opened the card as the PLE’s first bout and concluded in a Last Man Standing stipulation when he used a vicious punt kick to secure the win over Randy Orton. The match was billed as the event’s opener and finished when Rhodes left Orton unable to continue under the stipulation. That sequence provided the night’s initial decisive result.
The World Tag Team Championship changed hands when Penta and Je’Von Evans defeated The Vision’s Bron Breakker and Austin Theory to claim the titles. Oba Femi’s return played a role in that outcome; he neutralized Bronson Reed during the match and assisted the babyfaces in securing the victory. That interference directly contributed to Penta and Je’Von Evans becoming the new World Tag Team Champions.
The Champion vs Champion encounter between Chelsea Green and Liv Morgan produced the evening’s most dramatic in-ring contest, with Green defying expectations to win the 2026 Women’s Crown Jewel title. The victory occurred in front of a vociferous crowd that showered Green with love. The result appeared to shift the women’s division until an immediate post-match development altered the championship picture.
Tiffany Stratton then came out, teasing to cash in the MITB Contract on Liv Morgan but instead attacking Chelsea Green and cashing in on her to become the new WWE Women’s Champion. The sequence saw Stratton successfully convert her Money in the Bank opportunity into title gold; it was her second successful cash-in. The cash-in followed directly on the heels of Green’s Crown Jewel victory.
World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns defeated Sami Zayn to capture the 2026 Crown Jewel title in the PLE main event. This win saw him extend his undefeated streak even more; his last loss came during the 2026 edition of Crown Jewel. The result concluded the card at the ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
