Two new bouts have officially been added to the upcoming WWE Crown Jewel Premium Live Event.
As announced on the October 21st edition of SmackDown, Drew McIntyre revealed that he will be taking on rival Karrion Kross in a steel cage match. Following their grueling match at Extreme Rules and McIntyre’s attack on Kross last week, the two will now settle the score inside the steel structure on Saturday, November 5th.

In addition, Braun Strowman appeared on SmackDown to confront Omos. Instead, Omos’ manager MVP emerged, warning Strowman to avoid his client.

Next, the two giants will clash in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in two weeks.
