Roman Reigns Announced for Crown Jewel and Survivor Series
WWE has advertised Reigns for seven dates after Money in the Bank, including Riyadh on November 7 and Houston on November 28.
WWE has announced Roman Reigns for Crown Jewel in Riyadh on November 7 and Survivor Series: WarGames in Houston on November 28. The company posted his schedule on social media on October 6 and 7, listing seven dates after Money in the Bank: three episodes of Raw, two combined Raw and SmackDown tapings and the two premium live events.
The run starts on October 19. Reigns is not advertised for the first Raw after Money in the Bank, which comes from Bossier City, Louisiana, on October 12.
The advertised dates
The graphic WWE shared on Wednesday carried the line "Acknowledge Roman Reigns in a city near you!" and covered the following shows, with Money in the Bank at the top.
| Date | Show | Venue | City |
|---|---|---|---|
| October 10 | Money in the Bank | Smoothie King Center | New Orleans, Louisiana |
| October 19 | Raw | Pechanga Arena | San Diego, California |
| November 2 | Raw and SmackDown taping | Barclays Center | Brooklyn, New York |
| November 7 | Crown Jewel | Riyadh Season Stadium | Riyadh, Saudi Arabia |
| November 9 | Raw | Bon Secours Wellness Arena | Greenville, South Carolina |
| November 23 | Raw and SmackDown taping | Intrust Bank Arena | Wichita, Kansas |
| November 28 | Survivor Series: WarGames | Daikin Park | Houston, Texas |
| November 30 | Raw | Simmons Bank Arena | North Little Rock, Arkansas |
The Brooklyn and Wichita dates are double tapings, so Reigns could turn up on SmackDown as well as Raw from those buildings. No SmackDown-only dates appear on the list.
Money in the Bank first
Before any of that, Reigns defends the World Heavyweight Championship against LA Knight on Saturday at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. He won the title from CM Punk in the main event of the second night of WrestleMania 42 at Allegiant Stadium on April 19, a few months after winning the Royal Rumble match for the second time.
The two graphics WWE posted this week did not match. The earlier one showed Reigns with the World Heavyweight Championship. Wednesday's version dropped the belt and billed him only as "The Tribal Chief", which set off talk among fans about how Saturday's main event will finish. WWE has said nothing to explain the change, and an advertising graphic is no guide to a result.
Crown Jewel in Riyadh
Crown Jewel takes place on Saturday, November 7 at Riyadh Season Stadium in the King Abdullah Financial District. The card already includes a Crown Jewel Championship match between Raw's World Heavyweight Champion and SmackDown's Undisputed WWE Champion, plus a women's version between the Women's World Champion and the WWE Women's Champion.
WWE has not announced a match for Reigns in Riyadh. If he gets past Knight, the champion-versus-champion format would put him in that bout. If he loses, his role in Saudi Arabia is open.
Survivor Series: WarGames in Houston
Reigns has been the featured wrestler on the official Survivor Series poster since August. The show is set for November 28 at Daikin Park, the home of baseball's Houston Astros, making it the second Survivor Series in a row held in a stadium. It is the 40th Survivor Series and the fifth to use the WarGames format, with two rings inside one roofless cage.
No WarGames teams or matches have been announced yet. He has wrestled in three of the last four WarGames matches, but whether he is part of a team this year has not been confirmed by WWE.
What is confirmed so far
- Reigns is advertised for every date in the table above, starting with Money in the Bank on October 10.
- He is not advertised for Raw on October 12 in Bossier City.
- He has no announced match at Crown Jewel or Survivor Series.
- Advertised appearances can change, and WWE often adjusts them as storylines move.
The result in New Orleans on Saturday will decide whether he goes to Riyadh as champion.
