The First Ever WWE World Cup Tournament Will Be Held At The CROWN JEWEL Event In Saudi Arabia
Following the announcement that the Universal Championship would be defended in a triple-threat match at Crown Jewel, WWE has revealed that a first ever World Cup Tournament will also take place at the event.
To coincide with the news that Roman Reigns will defend his Universal Championship in a triple-threat match against Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar at WWE Crown Jewel in November, it's been announced that the big Saudi Arabian event will also feature the first ever WWE World Cup Tournament.
What is that? Well, we're not exactly sure - but according to the official press release below it will "determine the best in the world."
Is WWE holding an entire tournament to strip CM Punk of his moniker?
The Saudi General Sports Authority, in partnership with WWE, will present WWE Crown Jewel at the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Friday, November 2, including a Universal Championship Triple Threat Match featuring Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman, and the first-ever WWE World Cup tournament to determine the best in the world.
General Sports Authority of Saudi Arabia Chairman His Excellency Turki Al Sheikh, WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia invite the world to celebrate this signature event. Following WWE’s sold-out Greatest Royal Rumble in Jeddah in April, this is the second event as part of a long-term partnership between WWE and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
