Last Man Standing Match Set For WWE Crown Jewel

Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton will face each other in a Last Man Standing match at WWE Crown Jewel. The premium live event is scheduled for November 7 in Saudi Arabia.

Rhodes proposed the stipulation during a confrontation on SmackDown. Orton responded by cautioning Rhodes to be careful what he wished for.

The two wrestlers have a long history that dates back to Rhodes' first stint in WWE. They have been feuding for much of 2026.

Rhodes defeated Orton in one of the main events of WrestleMania 42. Orton then picked up the victory when they met at Sunday Night’s Main Event in September.

Orton has repeatedly questioned Rhodes’ killer instinct during their rivalry. Rhodes showed a more aggressive side in recent segments, including taking out Baron Corbin with a punt.

On SmackDown, Rhodes wanted to fight Orton immediately, but Orton declined. SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis then booked their Last Man Standing match for Crown Jewel.
