It’s official. Roman Reigns will defend the WWE Universal Championship against Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on November 2nd.
Earlier today we wrote about plans for the Triple Threat Match. Lesnar will be working the show because it makes sense for WWE from a financial standpoint since they are going to be paid so much by the Saudi Arabian government. There are no exact numbers available but the belief is that WWE received approximately $45 million for the Greatest Royal Rumble in April.
There are also plans for Shawn Michaels to return on that show in a tag team match with Triple H.
The event will be called WWE Crown Jewel and it will air live on the WWE Network.
