At a time when everyone was focused on the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view, WWE decided to once again build on their next Saudi Arabia show ahead of everything else.

On the season premiere of RAW, The Miz hosted the “Miz TV” with special guests Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan. After a few exchanges of words, The A-Lister revealed the two would be helming teams for Crown Jewel. With the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia heavily invested in the Superstars of the previous generation, it was a smart move from WWE to utilize these two men for such a big international event.

Seth Rollins and Randy Orton quickly got involved in the segment as the Captains of the two teams, and King Corbin and Rusev followed, becoming the next two members of each team. The match will feature five Superstars from each team.

This was the right thing to do as WWE has always brought back legends for their international shows to build hype for the events. Similar to the WWE World Cup, a 5-on-5 match featuring some top Superstars from the main roster will allow the company to feature several stars in a single event.
