Bianca Belair and Bayley are set to make history on 5 November in Saudi Arabia.

WWE just announced a 'Last Woman Standing' bout between the pair for Crown Jewel. Some fans may be wondering what's so special about that, because this isn't the first one-on-one match between women the company has put on in Saudi.

No, but it is the first one-on-one gimmick match for females in the country. Previously, WWE produced a six-woman affair inside Elimination Chamber, but there's never been a singles stipulation bout on Saudi soil. That changes next weekend.

More history could be made if Bayley and her Damage CTRL buddies finally get the better of Bianca too. Imagine WWE booked a Raw Women's Title change on the show to double up with the history-making gimmick - that'd be huge, but admittedly remains unlikely due to the way this feud has been scripted thus far.

Belair defeated Bayley in a ladder match at Extreme Rules despite interference from Dakota Kai and IYO SKY. It looks like WWE's creative team are content to portray Bianca as someone who has CTRL's number.
