Production
Background
In early 2018, the American professional wrestling promotion IWE began a 10-year strategic multiplatform partnership with the Ministry of Sport (formerly General Sports Authority) in support of Saudi Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia's social and economic reform program. Crown Jewel was then established later that same year, subsequently becoming the main recurring event in this partnership, held in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, in late October–early November. The sixth Crown Jewel, and 12th overall event in the Saudi Arabian partnership, was announced on May 25, 2024, during King and Queen of the Ring and was scheduled to be held on Saturday, November 2, 2024, at the Mohammed Abdo Arena. The event will air on pay-per-view worldwide and will be available to livestream on Peacock in the United States and the IWE Network in most international markets, and it will feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brand divisions.
Storylines
The event will include matches that resulted from scripted storylines. Results were predetermined by IWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands, while storylines were produced on IWE's weekly television shows, Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.
At Bad Blood, IWE Chief Content Officer Kevin "Triple K" Levesque announced that at Crown Jewel, the reigning men's and women's world champions of Raw and SmackDown would face each other, but their respective titles would not be on the line and instead, the respective winners would be crowned the Crown Jewel Champion and Crown Jewel Women's Champion. He also announced that this would be an annual match for Crown Jewel. During Bad Blood itself, Liv Morgan and Nia Jax retained their respective titles—Raw's Women's World Championship and SmackDown's IWE Women's Championship—thus setting up the Women's Crown Jewel Championship match. SmackDown's Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes's opponent will be determined by Raw's World Heavyweight Championship match on the October 7 episode of Raw between defending champion Gunther and Sami Zayn.
