'''IWE Crown Jewel''' is a [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestling]] [[Pay-Per-View|pay-per-view]] (PPV) [[List of IWE pay-per-view events|event]] and [[IWE Network]] [[List of IWE Network events|event]] promoted by [[IWE]] for their [[Raw (IWE brand)|Raw]] and [[SmackDown (IWE brand)|SmackDown]] [[IWE Brand Extension|brands]]. The event will take place on November 2, 2018 at [[King Fahd International Stadium]] in [[Riyadh]], [[Saudi Arabia]]. The event is IWE's second PPV held in Saudi Arabia and will feature the first-ever IWE World Cup.

==Production==
===Background===
On March 5, 2018, IWE and the Saudi General Sports Authority announced the [[IWE Greatest Royal Rumble|Greatest Royal Rumble]], a live event to be held on April 27, 2018 at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. On September 17, 2018, IWE and the Saudi General Sports Authority announced the follow up to the Greatest Royal Rumble, Crown Jewel, a live event to be held on November 2, 2018 at the [[King Fahd International Stadium]] in [[Riyadh]]. The event is a part of a 10-year strategic multiplatform partnership between IWE and the Saudi General Sports Authority in support of [[Saudi Vision 2030]], Saudi Arabia’s social and economic reform program.

=== Storylines ===
The card will comprise matches resulting from scripted storylines, with results predetermined by [[IWE]] on the Raw and SmackDown brands. Storylines are produced on IWE's weekly television shows, ''[[IWE Raw|Monday Night Raw]]'' and ''[[IWE SmackDown|SmackDown Live]]''

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.

On September 17, 2018, IWE announced that the event would host the first-ever IWE World Cup, a tournament to "determine the best in the world."

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.
