Sachin Chandan Nov 7, 2026, 04:55 PM ET WWE Crown Jewel 2026 concluded with major title changes and storyline shifts. In the main event, Cody Rhodes defeated Randy Orton in a Last Man Standing match by hitting Orton's own Punt Kick, signifying a darker demeanor to secure the win. Rhodes' victory makes him a logical contender for Sami Zayn's Undisputed WWE Championship, setting up potential feuds with Kevin Owens and others on SmackDown.
Meanwhile, Tiffany Stratton cashed in her Money in the Bank contract to defeat Chelsea Green and win the WWE Women's Championship, establishing a new rivalry. Sami Zayn and Roman Reigns also battled for the men's Crown Jewel Championship. Rhodes' actions suggest a shift toward a more ruthless character as he embraces inner violence to win feuds, potentially setting up an interesting road to the Royal Rumble in February.
The women's division sees Stratton vs. Green as the next focal point, with Green's storyline about proving herself as champion ongoing.
