Roman Reigns beat Sami Zayn at WWE Crown Jewel in Riyadh, and Tiffany Stratton cashed in on Chelsea Green. Full results, who won and how to watch in the U.S.
WWE Crown Jewel 2026 ended Saturday, Nov. 7, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with Roman Reigns beating Sami Zayn to win the men's Crown Jewel Championship. The bigger shock came in the women's division, where Tiffany Stratton cashed in Money in the Bank minutes after Chelsea Green won the Women's Crown Jewel Championship, and walked out as WWE Women's Champion. Here are the full results from the five matches at the ANB Arena, based on WWE's own recap and Yahoo Sports' coverage.
What were the WWE Crown Jewel 2026 results?
Five matches took place, and four titles changed hands in some form. Listed in the order Yahoo Sports reported them:
- Last Man Standing match: Cody Rhodes def. Randy Orton. Rhodes hit three Cross Rhodes and finished with a punt kick to Orton's head.
- World Tag Team Championship: Penta and Je'Von Evans def. Bron Breakker and Austin Theory (c.) to win the titles.
- Women's Crown Jewel Championship: Chelsea Green def. Liv Morgan.
- WWE Women's Championship: Tiffany Stratton def. Chelsea Green (c.) with her Money in the Bank contract.
- Men's Crown Jewel Championship: Roman Reigns def. Sami Zayn.
Crown Jewel was billed as two champion-versus-champion matches. Reigns went in as World Heavyweight Champion and Zayn as Undisputed WWE Champion. Green held the WWE Women's Championship and Morgan the Women's World Championship. Per Yahoo Sports, Morgan kept her Women's World title despite the loss, and the reports we read do not say any other main-roster title changed hands in the Reigns match.
How did Reigns beat Zayn?
Reigns won with two Spears after a back half that, according to Yahoo's Uncrowned team, made Zayn look strong even in defeat. WWE's recap says Zayn hit a Blue Thunder Bomb and a Helluva Kick, and that Reigns accidentally floored a referee with a Superman Punch. A second referee came out while Zayn was pinning Reigns, which gave Reigns time to kick out. Zayn then landed his own version of Reigns' Superman Punch and mocked his "ooh ahh" before the final Spear.
Afterward, WWE says Reigns turned down a handshake and hugged Zayn instead. Yahoo also noted that Reigns again won without any outside interference, which it says has been deliberate in his 2026 matches.
What happened with Tiffany Stratton and Chelsea Green?
Green pinned Morgan with a roll-up after reversing Oblivion, with Morgan having waved off Judgment Day's Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez earlier in the match. Green was addressing the crowd when Morgan attacked her. Stratton ran in as if to help, held off Perez and Rodriguez, then hit Green in the face with the briefcase and cashed in. One Prettiest Moonsault Ever later, she was WWE Women's Champion.
So Green leaves Riyadh with the Women's Crown Jewel Championship, but without the WWE Women's Championship she arrived holding.
The rest of the card
Rhodes and Orton opened the show with weapons, a table, a ladder and a Kendo stick, ending in the punt Orton usually reserves for his own finishes. Yahoo called it a slow, weapon-heavy match and said Rhodes won by tapping into his darker side. In the tag match, Bronson Reed interfered for The Vision, and Oba Femi came out to even the odds. Yahoo's Uncrowned team picked Femi as its MVP of the night. WWE says Evans pinned Theory with the OG Cutter.
How to watch Crown Jewel in the U.S.
WWE's preview page said the show streamed live on the ESPN App with an ESPN Unlimited plan in the United States. Outside the U.S. it streamed on Netflix. We did not see a replay date or a highlights schedule on the pages we read, so check the ESPN App if you missed it. Short match clips are posted on WWE's event page.
Our take
This is analysis, not reporting. The Stratton cash-in is the result that matters going forward, because it changes who holds the main women's title heading into the weekly shows. The Reigns win was the expected one. Yahoo argued that a Zayn win would have done more for the weekly product, and we think that is a fair point: a Reigns loss would have been a big moment, and WWE chose not to spend it. Yahoo's Uncrowned team gave the whole show a 6.5 out of 10. That score is theirs, not ours.
What we do not know yet: what Stratton's first defense will be, whether Green gets a rematch, and whether Orton and Rhodes are truly finished. None of the sources we read answered those.
