WWE Crown Jewel 2026 is less than 10 days away, and the company has already announced four matches, including Roman Reigns vs. Sami Zayn and Liv Morgan vs. Chelsea Green for the respective Crown Jewel titles.
However, several rumored matchups may no longer take place at the premium live event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Here are three rumored WWE Crown Jewel 2026 matches that appear to have been scrapped.

Kevin Owens and CM Punk have been linked to a potential match following their ongoing rivalry. However, the two stars are now scheduled to face each other on the November 6, 2026, episode of SmackDown.Kevin Owens is reportedly among several WWE stars unhappy about traveling to Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel.

— WrestleFeed (@WrestleFeedApp) October 27, 2026Recent reports from WrestleFeed, citing Jonathan Coachman, suggest that Owens may be reluctant to travel to Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel. If these reports are accurate, his upcoming SmackDown match against Punk could explain why the rumored Crown Jewel bout is no longer expected to happen.
WWE has not officially confirmed that this match was canceled.
2. The Bloodline vs. 946
The Bloodline's rivalry with Royce Keys and his 946 faction has continued on WWE RAW. The two groups have been involved in several confrontations, with Roman Reigns recently helping his family gain the upper hand.
Fans speculated that the rivalry could lead to a tag team match at Crown Jewel 2026. However, Solo Sikoa is now scheduled to face Royce Keys on the November 2 episode of RAW.
This development suggests that WWE may be continuing the storyline on television instead of featuring a faction match at Crown Jewel. The rumored bout has not been officially announced or confirmed as canceled.

— PW Chronicle (@_PWChronicle) October 27, 2026Knight's frustration and Solo's reunion with The Bloodline fueled rumors that their rivalry could develop into a major showdown. However, Knight has recently been absent from WWE television, while Solo remains focused on his ongoing issues with Royce Keys and 946.
With Solo scheduled to face Keys on RAW, a potential match against LA Knight at Crown Jewel appears less likely.
WWE has not officially announced Knight vs. Sikoa for Crown Jewel 2026, so the rumored matchup should not be considered a confirmed cancellation.
## Final Thoughts
Kevin Owens vs. CM Punk, The Bloodline vs. 946, and LA Knight vs. Solo Sikoa are three rumored matchups that may not take place at WWE Crown Jewel 2026. However, WWE has not officially confirmed that any of these matches were canceled.
