Report: Three Raw Matches Could Be Headed To Crown Jewel 2026

WWE is expected to begin building toward Crown Jewel 2026, scheduled for November 7 in Riyadh, and speculation is already swirling around which Monday Night Raw storylines could land on that card — though the event’s status has reportedly become a point of internal discussion following recent bombings near Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport. As of now, Crown Jewel remains advertised as planned, meaning WWE will need to start filling out the lineup in the coming weeks.

One possibility centers on the ongoing war between the 946 and the Samoan faction tied to Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa. Royce Keys, Lucien Price and Bronco Nima have been aligned since late August, but the group has not wrestled together since forming. That changes on the October 12 edition of Raw, when the trio faces The Usos and Solo Sikoa — a match born out of 946’s abduction of Sikoa last month and Fatu running down Keys’ recruit, Jaida Parker, on September 28. Fatu hasn’t been seen since that attack, but if he resurfaces before Crown Jewel, a grudge match against Keys could make sense as a way to finally settle the score between the two factions.

The Women’s Intercontinental Championship picture is also worth watching. Raquel Rodriguez hasn’t defended the title on Raw in well over a month despite a crowded field of potential challengers. Lola Vice, Sol Ruca and IYO SKY have all crossed paths with Rodriguez and Judgment Day recently, raising the possibility of a multi-woman title match that lets WWE address several contenders at once rather than picking just one.

Then there’s Oba Femi, who turned down a challenge from Bronson Reed in New Orleans before calling out World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns during the Money in the Bank post-show. A Femi-Reigns showdown feels inevitable given both men’s trajectories, but Femi made a similar callout after WrestleMania 42 that went nowhere, suggesting this latest tease may be more about setting up WrestleMania 43 than an immediate title program. More pressing for Femi is his unfinished business with Bron Breakker, after Bronson Reed’s interference at Sunday Night’s Main Event cost him a clean win over the Vision member last month.

None of these matches are confirmed, and the bigger question still looming is whether Crown Jewel goes forward in Riyadh at all given the reported safety concerns. But if the show does proceed as scheduled, Raw’s three hottest storylines — the 946 rivalry, the Women’s Intercontinental title scene, and Femi’s pursuit of gold — all look like logical pieces for WWE to slot into the card over the next few weeks. Expect more clarity as Raw continues building toward November 7.
