WWE has announced their next event from Saudi Arabia to take place on Friday, November 2 – WWE Crown Jewel.

The event will air live on the WWE Network from the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Besides the WWE Universal Title Triple Threat with Brock Lesnar, Braun Strowman and champion Roman Reigns, WWE has also confirmed the first-ever WWE World Cup tournament to take place at Crown Jewel. No word yet on what the tournament will consist of but the official press release notes that it will “determine the best in the world.”

As noted, a rumored match for Crown Jewel is Kane and The Undertaker vs. Triple H and WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels, who would be coming out of retirement. WWE has not announced this match as of this writing.

Below is the official Crown Jewel press release, sent to us by WWE, along with a photo of the logo and the cup:

But that will not impact much about the superstar who will win it.

WWE Crown Jewel matches
Universal Championship -- Roman Reigns (c) vs. Brock Lesnar vs. Braun Strowman:
Lesnar's shocking return to interrupt the Reigns-Strowman match at Hell in a Cell has led to this triple threat, which is expected to main event the show.

WWE Championship -- AJ Styles (c) vs. Daniel Bryan:
Styles retained his title over Samoa Joe at Super Show-Down, and Bryan became the No. 1 contender by defeating The Miz in 2:25 on the same show. Will there be any interference here, or will a highly-anticipated showdown between Styles and Bryan go on as planned?

Triple H & Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker & Kane:
Heavy involvement from Michaels helped Triple H dispatch Taker at Super Show-Down in Australia. After the match, when it looked like the four men had made up and were celebrating together in the ring after the bout, the Brothers of Destruction turned on the former DeGeneration X members by Tombstone Piledriving, chokeslamming and otherwise ruining them to end the show. It has been reported that Michaels will make his in-ring return at Crown Jewel, and this match makes the most sense.
