Several major names to miss WWE Crown Jewel; potential reason why Randy Orton vs Kevin Owens isn't happening 

Kevin Owens and Randy Orton have been on a collision course heading towards Crown Jewel, but it seems that the duo are not set to collide as part of the event, and many other WWE stars are also set to miss the trip.

WWE heads to Saudi Arabia on November 2, 2024, before pre-taping RAW the following day on November 3rd. It's Sunday that kicks off another four-day tour of the United Kingdom, which would mean a 14-hour flight from the Middle East to Ireland if the stars were to perform on both shows.

Kevin Owens, Bayley, The Street Profits, Naomi, Solo Sikoa, and several other big names are all advertised for the show in Ireland, before then heading to London to be part of a second event that will go live a few hours before RAW.

This means that many of these names will be in the UK and not part of the Saudi Arabia event, which works for many of the names who have made it clear that they don't want to make the trip like CM Punk.

How will WWE split the roster for both Dublin Ireland and Crown Jewel?

Interestingly, both Nia Jax and Cody Rhodes are advertised for the show in Dublin, Ireland, but they have already been booked on the card for Crown Jewel merely hours before.

WWE will have to have some headliners for the card in Ireland and London, so Kevin Owens and Randy Orton could be set to have a feud on live shows ahead of their potential showdown at Survivor Series.

There will be a number of other names heading to the event, including Naomi and Bayley, who will also be able to ensure that despite Rhodes and Jax being advertised, fans will not be going home disappointed.
