On the eve of WWE Crown Jewel, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will join forces with Randy Orton against World Heavyweight Champion Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser. The American Nightmare and The Ring General will make history when they battle for the right to become the first-ever WWE Crown Jewel Champion. Additionally, Orton has his own WWE Crown Jewel challenge awaiting against Kevin Owens. Although KO won't be on SmackDown this week, The Viper must be in top form if he will have any chance against the dangerous Superstar just one day later.
One night before their historic matchup to determine the first WWE Crown Jewel Women's Champion, devious Women's World Champion Liv Morgan and dominant WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax will come face to face.
Bianca Belair, Lash Legend, IYO SKY and Piper Niven are set to represent their tag team in a Fatal 4-Way Match on SmackDown, with each looking for a monumental win prior to the WWE Women's Tag Team Title Fatal 4-Way Match at WWE Crown Jewel this Saturday. Who will give their tandem an edge heading into the championship free-for-all?
