The highly anticipated WWE Crown Jewel 2024 is just days away, and fans already know which superstars will appear and what matches will take place. However, the Stamford-based promotion can always have a trick or two up its sleeve to surprise fans.
WWE Crown Jewel 2024 will take place at the Mohammed Abdo Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The upcoming premium live event will see RAW and SmackDown's World Champions clash to see who will be the inaugural Men's and Women's Crown Jewel Champions. Stars like Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, The Bloodline, Liv Morgan, Nia Jax, and more are scheduled to be in action this weekend. However, other unannounced names and unexpected moments can also occur on the show.
For this list, we will look at four last-minute twists that can happen at WWE Crown Jewel.
#4. Randy Orton to have a change of heart after his match with Kevin Owens
Randy Orton and Kevin Owens' friendship fell through on WWE SmackDown after the latter attacked Cody Rhodes, and The Viper opted to side with the Undisputed Champion instead. Last week, The Apex Predator finally convinced Triple H to make a match against The Prizefighter official for this weekend.
Randy and Kevin's upcoming match will likely be the first of many, which means that Owens can still have more to say to Orton regarding Cody siding with Roman Reigns at Bad Blood. Although The Viper can tune out his former partner's words during the match, he can gain some clarity after his frustrations with Owens are cleared. Randy might also feel betrayed by Rhodes. As a result, The Apex Predator can appear during Cody and Gunther's match to attack his former Legacy groupmate. If not this Saturday, the two can also build towards a match at Survivor Series.
#3. Sami Zayn to make an unexpected alliance at WWE Crown Jewel
The Bloodline's storyline extended on RAW after The Usos reunited last week on the Friday show. While most fans are happy about the reunion, one star who isn't a big fan is Sami Zayn.
On this week's RAW show, Sami questioned Jey's decision to reunite with Jimmy and meet with Roman on the upcoming episode of SmackDown. Later on, the brothers saw Zayn talking with Solo Sikoa. Although the former Honorary Uce is not announced for WWE Crown Jewel, he can appear by helping Solo's Bloodline against Roman and The Usos in an attempt to prevent Jey from getting involved further.
#2. Rhea Ripley could make a surprise appearance
On this week's NXT episode, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez attacked Rhea Ripley at the parking lot. It was later shared that she suffered a fractured right orbital socket and will be out for quite some time. However, she can make one last appearance before officially resting to heal her injury.
During Liv and Nia Jax's Women's Crown Jewel Championship match, Rhea can make an appearance to distract Morgan just enough for the SmackDown star to capitalize and win the inaugural title. However, that may not be the only twist for the women's match.
#1. Tiffany Stratton to steal the show at WWE Crown Jewel
Fans have been anticipating when Tiffany Stratton will cash in her Money in the Bank contract. Interestingly, the wait can finally be over at the upcoming Saudi Arabia premium live event.
If Liv loses at the PLE, she can attack Nia but the latter can be saved by her friend Stratton. However, Tiffany can later betray her friend when her guard is down and cash in the MITB contract against her to win the WWE Women's Championship.
