Samantha Irvin's shocking WWE departure led to the company bringing back the legendary ring announcer Lilian Garcia as her replacement. Garcia made her return in October. However, she will not be on duty at Crown Jewel.

Crown Jewel is set to emanate from the Mohammed Abdo Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Per WrestleVotes, Mike Rome will act as the ring announcer for the event. He is the ring announcer of NXT.
This does not come as a major surprise, though, as Mike Rome had previously worked Crown Jewel on several occasions. He had taken some time off recently on account of his wife's pregnancy. He returned to WWE on the September 24 episode of NXT after having his first baby.
