The 2023 Crown Jewel was the fifth Crown Jewel professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE. It was held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. The event took place on Saturday, November 4, 2023, at Mohammed Abdu Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, marking the second Crown Jewel held at this venue after the 2021 event. It was the 10th event that WWE held in Saudi Arabia under a 10-year partnership in support of Saudi Vision 2030.
Eight matches were contested at the event, including one on the Kickoff pre-show. In the main event, which was the main match from SmackDown, Roman Reigns defeated LA Knight to retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. In what was Raw's main match, Seth "Freakin" Rollins defeated Drew McIntyre to retain the World Heavyweight Championship, which was also the opening bout. In another prominent match, Logan Paul defeated Rey Mysterio to win SmackDown's WWE United States Championship.
The event was notable for an appearance by Saudi actor and comedian Ibrahim Al Hajjaj, who was a special guest on Miz TV. Additionally, the event saw the return of Kairi Sane to WWE; her last WWE match was in July 2020 but she had remained with the company until December 2021 as a Japanese ambassador.
