WWE officials could make a change to one top match at the Crown Jewel pay-per-view event. With Roman Reigns relinquishing the Universal Title due to his battle with leukemia, he will not able to face Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman in a triple threat match at this show as originally advertised. Thus, Strowman and Lesnar will battle for the vacant title at this show.
According to a report by Pwinsider.com, there was a pitch made last week to add Drew McIntyre to the match, which would make it a triple threat. WWE has yet to make this change official but it could come as soon as Monday’s episode of RAW.
WWE presents the Crown Jewel pay-per-view event on November 2nd, 2018 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia at the King Saud University Stadium and will air on the WWE Network. WWE will be announcing more matches for this show in the coming days. Here is the updated card:
