WWE already has a plan for Roman Reigns’ opponent at Crown Jewel 2026.
Indeed, after internal discussions with several people, PWInsider reports that WWE officials intend to present Roman Reigns against Sami Zayn at Crown Jewel 2026 which will take place in Saudi Arabia. It should not be forgotten that Crown Jewel’s objective is to crown the company’s ultimate champion.
The male champions and the female champions will clash to determine who is WWE’s top champion and become the Crown Jewel Champion. The information thus confirms that WWE plans to keep Reigns and Zayn as champions for the coming weeks.
Sami Zayn’s reign is expected to be longer this time. On the Roman Reigns side, it’s worth noting that he will have to defend his WWE title against LA Knight for the next PLE Money in the Bank per the original plans. And his next stop will be Crown Jewel on November 7, 2026.
The upcoming WWE shows will be watched closely to verify whether the plans hold.
