Spoiler warning: This edition contains complete results from WWE Crown Jewel, which ended Saturday afternoon. AEW Collision is still upcoming at the time of this report. No result is claimed for any match that has not aired.

WWE Crown Jewel changed two active championships and created two separate Crown Jewel winners before Saturday’s wrestling schedule moves to the water tonight.

Penta and Je’Von Evans won the World Tag Team Championship. Chelsea Green defeated Liv Morgan to become Women’s Crown Jewel Champion, but Tiffany Stratton then cashed in her Money in the Bank contract and took the WWE Women’s Championship from Green. Roman Reigns defeated Sami Zayn to become Men’s Crown Jewel Champion, and Cody Rhodes settled his latest match with Randy Orton by using Orton’s own Punt Kick.

At 8 p.m. EST, AEW Collision goes live from Chris Jericho’s Rock ‘N’ Wrestling Rager at Sea on TNT and HBO Max. Four matches are confirmed, including Andrade El Ídolo defending the AEW National Championship and FTR trying to keep its best-of-five series alive.

Friday’s Late Bell preview established the advertised cards. This report moves forward with the completed WWE results and AEW’s new official day-of-show preview rather than repeating the full Friday recap.

Crown Jewel quick results

  • Cody Rhodes defeated Randy Orton in a Last Man Standing match. Rhodes used three Cross Rhodes and then Orton’s Punt Kick. Orton did not answer the referee’s ten-count.
  • Penta and Je’Von Evans defeated Bron Breakker and Austin Theory to win the World Tag Team Championship. Oba Femi stopped Bronson Reed’s interference, and Evans pinned Theory after the OG Cutter.
  • Chelsea Green defeated Liv Morgan to become Women’s Crown Jewel Champion. Green reversed Oblivion into a rollup.
  • Tiffany Stratton cashed in her Money in the Bank contract and defeated Chelsea Green to win the WWE Women’s Championship. Stratton struck Green with the briefcase and finished with the Prettiest Moonsault Ever.
  • Roman Reigns defeated Sami Zayn to become Men’s Crown Jewel Champion. Reigns won with a Spear after a match that included two referee bumps but no outside interference.

These results come from WWE’s official Crown Jewel report and are checked against same-day coverage from F4W. The cash-in was a separate match for Green’s WWE Women’s Championship. It did not erase her earlier win of the Women’s Crown Jewel title.

Stratton turns Green’s biggest moment into a title change

Green’s win over Morgan first looked like the emotional finish to a long climb. Morgan had support available when Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez came to ringside, but she sent them away and tried to finish the match by herself. Green countered Oblivion into a rollup and secured the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship.

The scene changed after Morgan attacked Green during the celebration. Stratton arrived with the Money in the Bank briefcase and appeared ready to help her friend. Instead, she struck Green with the briefcase, officially cashed in and landed the Prettiest Moonsault Ever for the pin.

The exact distinction matters. Green left the scheduled match as the 2026 Women’s Crown Jewel Champion. Stratton left the cash-in as the new WWE Women’s Champion.

Voice analysis: WWE gave Green a major victory and a major betrayal within the same segment. That protects the meaning of her win over Morgan while immediately opening a personal issue with Stratton. The next useful question is not whether Green won Crown Jewel. She did. It is how she responds to losing her main championship to someone who entered as an ally.

Penta and Evans bring down The Vision

The World Tag Team Championship match also included outside involvement. Maxxine Dupri helped Theory by placing his foot on the ropes. Bronson Reed then attacked Penta and Evans while the referee was distracted.

Oba Femi arrived before Reed could decide the match. Femi sent Reed through a table off the stage, clearing the way for the legal teams to finish. Evans hit the OG Cutter on Theory and scored the pin.

Penta and Evans are therefore the official new champions. Femi’s involvement gives The Vision a separate problem, but it does not change the recorded finish. Evans pinned Theory.

Voice analysis: The title change creates two clear directions. Penta and Evans can begin defending their championship, while Femi and Reed have an obvious reason to meet again. Neither match is announced here. They are storyline possibilities created by Saturday’s finish.

Rhodes wins with Orton’s own weapon

The Last Man Standing match turned on survival rather than a pinfall. Orton sent Rhodes through a table with a powerbomb and later avoided a splash from the top of a ladder, causing Rhodes to crash through the announce table. Rhodes still beat the count.

Rhodes eventually landed three Cross Rhodes. He then used the Punt Kick, the move most closely connected to Orton, and left Orton down for the referee’s count.

Voice analysis: The finish was designed to be personal. Rhodes did not only survive Orton’s punishment. He ended the match with Orton’s own most feared move. That gives this chapter a complete ending even if WWE later returns to the rivalry.

Reigns beats Zayn, then shows respect

The main event kept The 946 and other outside groups away from the finish. Reigns and Zayn fought through near falls, a Superman Punch that struck the first referee and a second referee who arrived late to count a Zayn cover.

Zayn’s frustration led him to kick the second referee. He later tried to use a championship belt, but Reigns answered with a Spear. After another exchange, Reigns connected again and won the Men’s Crown Jewel Championship.

Reigns and Zayn embraced after the match. WWE’s official result records the victory and the show of respect. It does not announce a title unification. Reigns remains World Heavyweight Champion, Zayn remains Undisputed WWE Champion, and Crown Jewel produced a separate champion-versus-champion winner.

Voice analysis: The clean absence of outside interference is important. Zayn lost after choices he made inside the match, including the attack on the second referee and the attempt to use a belt. The embrace gave the rivalry a respectful closing image without erasing everything that happened before it.

Tonight: Collision goes live at 8 p.m. EST

AEW’s official preview, published Saturday afternoon, confirms that Collision is live at 8 p.m. EST on TNT and HBO Max from the Norwegian Jewel in Miami. Full Gear is one week away.

  • AEW National Championship: Andrade El Ídolo defends against Tommaso Ciampa. AEW says an Andrade win would be his eighth successful defense and would tie the championship record.
  • Best-of-five series, match four: Motor City Machine Guns face FTR. Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin lead 2-1. An MCMG win ends the series; FTR must win to force a fifth match.
  • Chris Jericho vs. Blake Christian: Jericho wrestles on his own cruise after two losses to Nick Wayne. Wayne is also announced to appear tonight.
  • Persephone vs. Mina Shirakawa: The CMLL World Women’s Champion faces Shirakawa after Persephone’s recent TBS title loss and the women’s Blood and Guts match.

All four matches remain upcoming. Cards can change until the show airs. This article will not be silently rewritten later to turn a preview into a result report.

Voice analysis: FTR’s match has the clearest immediate consequence. A loss ends the series at 3-1. A win creates the deciding fifth match. The National Championship defense carries a different kind of pressure because Andrade is chasing a defense record while Ciampa is trying to reverse the result of their WrestleDream match.

What is verified next week

  • WWE Raw: Monday, November 9 at 8 p.m. EST on Netflix. Netflix’s Crown Jewel guide confirms the time. No complete official Raw match list was posted by this edition’s cutoff.
  • WWE NXT: Tuesday, November 10 at 8 p.m. EST on The CW. WWE’s NXT page confirms the weekly network and time. A complete Nov. 10 card was not yet available in the official source checked.
  • AEW Dynamite and Collision taping: AEW lists a Wednesday, November 11 event at the Maverik Center in West Valley City, Utah. The official events page lists a 5:30 p.m. Mountain Time event start, which is 7:30 p.m. EST. That is the venue event time, not a claim that the television broadcast begins at 7:30.
  • TNA iMPACT: TNA has announced Mustafa Ali vs. Frankie Kazarian and Moose vs. Samuel Shaw for Thursday, November 12. The official Nov. 5 report confirms the matches and links viewers to AMC and TNA+. That source did not provide a Nov. 12 start time, so none is invented here.

No new official Saturday announcement materially changed ROH’s next episode, CMLL’s next card or AAA’s schedule before this edition was completed. Friday’s CMLL results and Thursday’s ROH and TNA results remain available in our November 6 Morning Bell. They are not repeated as Saturday news. Readers can find more coverage in the VoiceMV Wrestling section.

Official video and social note

WWE’s official results page includes first-party match clips, and AEW’s official preview provides the confirmed Collision card. We also looked for a directly verifiable official Instagram Reel or TikTok post suitable for a native embed. No stable first-party permalink with sufficiently clear embed availability was confirmed before publication. TikTok pages were not readable through the available research connection. No social clip was downloaded, reuploaded or embedded, and no fan-posted broadcast footage was used.

Your turn

Which Crown Jewel change matters most going into next week: Stratton’s cash-in, the new tag champions, Reigns’ win or Rhodes using the Punt Kick? For Collision, can FTR force match five, and does Ciampa finally take the National title?
