Extra Detail: New Match Set For WWE Crown Jewel, One Wrestler Injured During Attack

Put it on the show. We are less than two weeks away from WWE Crown Jewel, which will be the company’s next event from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As a result, WWE is going to try and make it as big of a show as possible, which means quite the stacked card. There have already been multiple title matches announced, but now we have a new grudge match set for the show.

This week on Monday Night Raw, Cody Rhodes interrupted Damian Priest to start the show. After an exchange of insults, Priest challenged Rhodes to a match at Crown Jewel, with Rhodes accepting. A brawl ensued, with Judgment Day injuring Rhodes’ ankle in the process. The match was made official later in the night. This comes after Rhodes, with Jey Uso and Priest, with Finn Balor, have traded the WWE Tag Team Titles in recent weeks. Crown Jewel takes place on November 4.

They do have a history. Check out how we got here:

Opinion: This is the kind of match that needs to be on the card as it is a part of a much bigger story. Rather than having it be some big conclusion as a title match, Rhodes and Priest have spun off from their Tag Team Title feud as Rhodes and company continue to fight the Judgment Day. It makes for some interesting options and that is always a good thing to have on a show.
