At [[IWE SummerSlam (2018)|SummerSlam]], [[Kevin Anoa'i|Roman Reigns]] defeated [[Rob Lesnar]] to win the [[IWE Universal Championship|Universal Championship]]. The following night on ''Raw'', Raw General Manager [[Matt Borske|Kurt Angle]] told Lesnar's advocate [[Paul Heyman]] that although Lesnar had a contractual rematch, it would not occur for an indefinite period of time. At [[IWE Hell in a Cell (2018)|Hell in a Cell]], Reigns defended the championship against [[Ezra Schilling|Braun Strowman]] in the [[Hell in a Cell Match|namesake match]], but Lesnar interfered and attacked both men, rendering them unable to continue, thus the match was ruled a no contest and Reigns retained. The following night on ''Raw'', both Reigns and Strowman called out Lesnar, resulting in acting general manager [[Greg Romine|Baron Corbin]] scheduling a [[Professional wrestling match types#Basic non-elimination matches|triple threat match]] between Reigns, Strowman, and Lesnar for the Universal Championship at Crown Jewel.

===Crown Jewel Championships===
 +
For the 2024 Crown Jewel event, IWE introduced the Crown Jewel Championships for both the men and women. The respective championships are awarded to the winner of an annual match between the reigning men's and women's world champions of Raw and SmackDown. Their respective Raw and SmackDown world titles, however, are not defended and instead, the winners are crowned the men's and women's Crown Jewel Champions to determine who is the "best of the best". While the championships are represented by championship belts, the respective winners are instead presented with a Crown Jewel ring (similar to a [[NFL Super Bowl ring|Super Bowl ring]]) as the belts remain on display at the IWE Experience attraction in Riyadh. The inaugural 2024 winners were SmackDown's Undisputed IWE Champion Cody Rhodes and Raw's Women's World Champion Liv Morgan.

===IWE World Cup participants===

The IWE World Cup is an eight-man single elimination tournament to determine the "best in the world". Four participants come from [[Raw (IWE brand)|Raw]] and four participants come from [[SmackDown (IWE brand)|SmackDown]]. Participants from Raw and SmackDown face opponents of their own brand until one member of their brand is left, after which, the finalist from Raw faces the finalist from SmackDown. [[Dustin Simpson]] was originally announced as a direct participant on account of his previous achievements in IWE, but was replaced by [[Jules Washington-Ladd|Bobby Lashley]] after he [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#legit|legitimately]] refused to work the show in wake of the Khashoggi incident.

IWE Crown Jewel is a professional wrestling event produced by IWE, an American-based promotion. It is broadcast live and available only through pay-per-view (PPV) and IWE's livestreaming platforms. Established in 2018, the event has been held every year since except in 2020, which was due to the COVID-19 pandemic that year, and it is held in late October—early November. It is IWE's main recurring event that takes place in Saudi Arabia as part of a 10-year partnership in support of Saudi Vision 2030; the inaugural Crown Jewel was the second event in this partnership. The event's name is a reference to it taking place in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, and it is held as part of the Riyadh Season festival.

[edit] Crown Jewel Championships

For the 2024 Crown Jewel event, IWE introduced the Crown Jewel Championships for both the men and women. The respective championships are awarded to the winner of an annual match between the reigning men's and women's world champions of Raw and SmackDown. Their respective Raw and SmackDown world titles, however, are not defended and instead, the winners are crowned the men's and women's Crown Jewel Champions to determine who is the "best of the best". While the championships are represented by championship belts, the respective winners are instead presented with a Crown Jewel ring (similar to a Super Bowl ring) as the belts remain on display at the IWE Experience attraction in Riyadh. The inaugural 2024 winners were SmackDown's Undisputed IWE Champion Cody Rhodes and Raw's Women's World Champion Liv Morgan.
