Description

Crown Jewel (2019) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view and WWE Network event produced by WWE for their Raw, SmackDown, and 205 Live brands. It took place on October 31, 2019 at King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It was the second WWE event promoted under the Crown Jewel chronology and the fourth held under WWE's 10-year partnership in support of Saudi Vision 2030.

Nine matches were contested at the event, including one on the Kickoff pre-show. In the main event, "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt defeated Seth Rollins in a Falls Count Anywhere match that could not be stopped for any reason to win the Universal Championship. In other prominent matches, Brock Lesnar defeated Cain Velasquez by submission to retain the WWE Championship, professional boxer Tyson Fury defeated Braun Strowman by countout, and Natalya defeated Lacey Evans by submission in what was the first professional wrestling women's match to take place in Saudi Arabia.

The event was met with mixed to positive reception from critics; although the tag team turmoil match, United States Championship match, 5-on-5 tag team match, and in particular the singles match between Mansoor and Cesaro were largely praised, Lesnar vs. Velasquez and Fury vs. Strowman were near-universally panned, with the Universal Championship match receiving a polarized reception. The women's match received polarized reactions for its booking and significance, while being considered average in quality.
