WWE Crown Jewel 2024 Predictions: Our Picks for the Winners

WWE is heading back to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this Saturday for Crown Jewel 2024, and WWE’s commitment to these Saudi shows is evident with a loaded seven-match card. For the first time since SummerSlam 2024, a WWE PLE lineup boasts seven bouts, featuring a women’s tag title match, a U.S. title match, and two brand-new Crown Jewel championships up for grabs for men and women alike. There’s also a grudge match between Seth Rollins and Bronson Reed, another between Kevin Owens and Randy Orton, and the first-ever battle of the Bloodline (original vs. new). Let’s dive into our predictions!

With our record at 122-24-6 (an 82% hit rate for 2024), it’s been a tough year to call. Crown Jewel could be the trickiest yet, with zero unanimous votes from our team on any match! Here’s how we think things will play out.

Seth Rollins vs. Bronson Reed: Rollins (53%)

Our team’s votes are nearly even here, but Rollins has the slightest edge. After all, it’s his first televised match since July, and he’s one of WWE’s biggest stars. GUNTHER holds the World Heavyweight Championship, and he’ll need a credible challenger, so Rollins could be next in line, especially since they’ve never faced off in singles action.

On the other hand, Bronson Reed’s been on a strong upward trajectory and could benefit immensely from a win. However, we feel it’s time for Rollins to shine again, so our pick is Rollins, but just barely.

Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens: Owens (79%)

Despite warnings from Triple H, Orton secured his match with Owens for Crown Jewel. Owens has recently shown a dangerous side, feeling betrayed after his team-up with Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns at Bad Blood went awry.

Though Orton initially clashed with Owens to protect Rhodes, Owens’ new attitude and aggressive streak make him the favorite here. With 79% of our team backing him, we’re predicting an Owens victory, setting the stage for more storyline development as Survivor Series approaches.

WWE United States Championship: Knight or Hayes (47% each)

LA Knight defends his U.S. title in a Triple Threat against Carmelo Hayes and Andrade. Both Knight and Hayes received 47% of our votes, while Andrade lagged behind.

Knight, on a win streak since May, seems poised to retain, but with the Triple Threat rules in place, he could lose the title without being pinned. This could open doors for Hayes, who’s been rising in popularity. Our votes are evenly split, but it’s likely we’ll see Knight or Hayes emerge as champion.

Bloodline vs. New Bloodline: New Bloodline (71%)

This showdown pits the fractured original Bloodline (Roman Reigns and the Usos) against a united new faction featuring Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa, and Jacob Fatu. With distrust simmering within the original trio, 71% of us believe the new Bloodline will triumph. Their unified, calculated approach may expose the fragile bond of the original Bloodline, making them the stronger force.

Fatal Four-Way for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship: Jade Cargill & Bianca Belair (79%)

Cargill and Belair defend their titles against three teams: Piper Niven & Chelsea Green, Iyo Sky & Kairi Sane, and Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend. Despite the stiff competition, 79% of our team feels that Cargill and Belair will retain their titles. It’s early in their reign, and WWE likely won’t disrupt the momentum they’ve built so soon after reclaiming their belts.

WWE Women’s Crown Jewel Championship: Nia Jax (71%)

With challengers Liv Morgan and others lined up, Jax is likely to keep her WWE Women’s Crown Jewel Championship, with 71% of our team backing her. Outside interference from Dominik Mysterio or an unexpected cash-in from Tiffany Stratton, the current Money in the Bank holder, could come into play. Even so, we predict Jax will ultimately walk away with the title intact.

WWE Men’s Crown Jewel Championship: GUNTHER (79%)

Though Cody Rhodes is a fan favorite, 79% of us believe GUNTHER will take the Men’s Crown Jewel Championship. As the World Heavyweight Champion, he needs a big win to solidify his standing. Rhodes may be “The Guy” in terms of fan appeal, but GUNTHER’s dominance makes him the likely victor in this high-stakes encounter.

With so many potential twists in store, Crown Jewel 2024 promises excitement at every turn.
