What if WWE doesn’t put on Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia?

1. A women’s championship match on the card

The upside of not hosting Crown Jewel in Jeddah is that the women's roster could be back in play.

One of the more awkward parts about WWE’s shows in Saudi Arabia is that, concurrent with WWE pushing its women like never before, including an all women’s PPV within a week of Crown Jewel, Saudi Arabian culture won’t allow women to actually wrestle at their big, stadium shows.

If WWE were to wind up holding Crown Jewel domestically, it would very much open the door having a women’s match on the super show after all, and what better way to make that happen than with a women’s title on the line?

The general sense is that Ronda Rousey will make Nikki Bella tap at Evolution, and Charlotte Flair is favored to beat Becky Lynch. WWE would be unlikely to want either brand’s top female star to drop her title at Crown Jewel, but simply having the match would add a different dimension of star power to the show (particularly in Rousey’s case), and underscore one of the positives to the event not happening in Saudi Arabia after all.
