Roman Reigns will be present at Crown Jewel, the PPV that WWE will hold in Saudi Arabia on November 7th. The company has confirmed the news with the announcement of "The OTC's" appearance schedule for the next two months. It is worth noting that he will make a single appearance in September coinciding with the Raw show that will take place in Mexico.

Roman Reigns' appearance schedule (October-November 2026)

  • WWE Raw (San Diego, CA) (October 19th)
  • WWE Raw and SmackDown tapings in Brooklyn, NY (November 2nd)
  • WWE Crown Jewel (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) (November 7th)
  • WWE Raw (Greenville, SC) (November 9th)
  • WWE Raw and SmackDown tapings in Wichita, KS (November 23rd)
  • WWE Survivor Series (Houston, TX) (November 28th)
  • WWE Raw (North Little Rock, AR) (November 30th)

Roman Reigns will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against LA Knight at WWE Money in the Bank, which will take place this upcoming weekend at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Samoan is only scheduled for one more appearance during the month of October before returning in November, where he has seven dates scheduled.

WWE announced his presence for October 19th through its social media platforms, presenting Reigns as the company's World Heavyweight Champion. This detail has not gone unnoticed, and many fans have interpreted it as a possible intentional or unintentional spoiler regarding the outcome of his match against LA Knight at Money in the Bank.

On the other hand, it is worth noting that Reigns is not featured on the official Crown Jewel poster, which does include CM Punk, Penta, Cody Rhodes, and Randy Orton. However, WWE may update the promotional image as the event date approaches. For now, and despite the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, WWE and Saudi Arabia are maintaining their plans to hold the second major event of the year in the Asian country.
