WWE's upcoming return to Saudi Arabia will go ahead without some of the promotion's biggest Superstars.

On November 4, WWE will host its Crown Jewel event from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The event will be the fifth-annual Crown Jewel show and the latest event as part of WWE's decade-long relationship with the Middle Eastern kingdom.
Missing Talent

WWE typically uses its very top talent (and often WWE legends and part-timers) as part of their shows in Saudi Arabia. The same night as WWE Crown Jewel though, a WWE live event will take place in Rochester, New York.

The Blue Cross Arena is promoting the following matches for the show which means these Superstars are currently not planned to appear at WWE Crown Jewel.


WWE Women's Champion IYO SKY Vs. Charlotte Flair
WWE NXT Women's Champion Becky Lynch Vs. Tiffany Stratton
Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER Vs. Ricochet Vs. Shinsuke Nakamura

Other names promoted for the show include Carlito, Grayson Waller, The Street Profits, Omos, Kofi Kingston, and The Brawling Brutes.

Here is the match card for WWE Crown Jewel:


WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth 'Freakin' Rollins Vs. Drew McIntyre (WWE World Heavyweight Championship)
WWE Women's World Championship Rhea Ripley Vs. Nia Jax Vs. Raquel Rodriguez Vs. Shayna Baszler Vs. Zoey Stark (WWE Women's World Championship)

An Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match between Roman Reigns and LA Knight is expected to be announced for the Premium Live Event. The two men confronted one another during last week's SmackDown and Knight attacked Reigns during a live event appearance by the Tribal Chief.
