A new report details WWE‘s plans for its Crown Jewel Championships.
At Bad Blood on October 5th, Triple H announced two new championships to be determined each year at Crown Jewel. The top men’s and women’s champions of each brand will face off against one another, and the winners will be coronated as Crown Jewel Champions.
A new report from WrestleVotes Radio indicates that these titles will not be defended throughout the year, and will rather be saved for Saudi Arabia specifically.
“The Crown Jewel championships we’re hearing are strictly for Saudi Arabia. They may appear the week after as Raws in Saudi Arabia, but they are currently scheduled not to be full-time television titles, and they will not be defended throughout the year. More of a winning of the King of the Ring type thing, where you win it, you celebrate, and then we move on. You remember [when] Braun Strowman won the greatest Royal Rumble and was presented a beautiful green title, and we haven’t seen it since. So it’s more of that type of thing.”
Why Did WWE Establish New Titles For Crown Jewel?
Continuing, the report from WrestleVotes Radio reveals that the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia had a major hand in the creation of the new championships.
“Again, this is something when you have a partnership with the PIF, I believe it’s called over there in Saudi Arabia, they’re going to have requests for WWE of things that they want to see happen. And this Crown Jewel Championship was something that came to them as an idea, and WWE did a great way of figuring out a way to make it work.”
