Crown Jewel was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and WWE Network event produced by WWE for their Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. It took place on October 21, 2021, at Mohammed Abdu Arena on the Boulevard in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It was the third event promoted under the Crown Jewel chronology and the sixth held under WWE's 10-year partnership in support of Saudi Vision 2030. It was WWE's first PPV event to be held outside the United States since the last Saudi Arabian event, Super ShowDown in February 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event also saw the finals of both the 2021 King of the Ring tournament and the inaugural Queen's Crown tournament.
Ten matches were contested at the event, including one on the Kickoff pre-show. In the main event, Roman Reigns defeated Brock Lesnar to retain the Universal Championship. In other prominent matches, Big E defeated Drew McIntyre to retain the WWE Championship, Xavier Woods won the King of the Ring tournament while Zelina Vega won the Queen's Crown tournament, and Edge defeated Seth Rollins in a Hell in a Cell match.
