WWE officially announced Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship for Crown Jewel. The event will be held on Thursday, October 21. Read the official announcement at WWE.com.
Powell’s POV: Crown Jewel will be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia at King Fahd International Stadium. The event will stream on Peacock beginning at noonCT/1ET. This will be WWE’s sixth event held in the country since WWE signed a lucrative, yet controversial ten-year deal to hold events in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia…the only audience that WWE actually makes an effort to please.
WWE isn’t even pretending there’s a slight chance Balor will beat Reigns I see.
