Two New Matches Set For WWE Crown Jewel

And then there were two. We are less than four days away from WWE’s Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia and that means the show is going to be one of the biggest of the year. The shows airing from the country are often stacked with one big match after another and that will be the case again this time. Now we know two more of the matches and both have something on the line.

The finals of the King of the Ring and Queen’s Crown tournaments were officially set during this week’s Monday Night Raw. Xavier Woods defeated Jinder Mahal to earn the right to face Finn Balor for the King of the Ring. Later, Doudrop defeated Shayna Baszler, meaning she will face Zelina Vega. This year marks the first time that WWE has ever presented the Queen’s Crown tournament.

This should work well. Check out how this week’s matches were set and what is on the line for the new King:

Xavier Woods vs. Jinder Mahal – King of the Ring Tournament Semifinals Match: Raw, Oct. 18, 2021

Doudrop vs. Shayna Baszler – Queen’s Crown Tournament Semifinals Match: Raw, Oct. 18, 2021

Greatest Kings of the Ring: WWE Top 10, Aug. 17, 2019

Opinion: This is the kind of move that you would expect from the tournaments, with Woods being a great addition to the finals. Woods being obsessed with winning the tournament makes for a great story, even if he loses in the finals. The Queen’s Crown winner will be historic just for being the first time winner, but it would be nice to have a match in the tournament break four minutes.

What do you think of the tournaments so far? Who do you have winning? Let us know in the comments below.
