WWE changed one of its biggest titles in Saudi Arabia

Cain Velasquez made his in-ring debut with WWE in the first match of his multi-year deal with the company. Boxing's heavyweight champion Tyson Fury had his first career wrestling match... It was filled with the pomp and circumstance, (Oh Yea!!! Dig it!!)as one would expect from a Fury fight... WWE also held its first women's match in Saudi Arabia in a moment that deserves some praise but also received a bit of criticism...

 



2019 WWE Crown Jewel results!!!

Humberto Carillo wins 20-Man Battle Royal, becomes No. 1 contender for U.S. title (Kickoff Show): Surprisingly, with eight competitors left, big names like Buddy Murphy, R-Truth and Andrade were eliminated leaving Erick Rowan, Luke Harper, Cedric Alexander and Humberto Carillo as the final four, A bunch of midcard Jobbers!!!

 

24/7 Championship -- R-Truth def. Sunil Singh (c) via pinfall to win the title (Kickoff Show): Once both were eliminated from the battle royal, Truth rolled up Singh outside the ring in a title change that popped the crowd. When did Sunil Singh Became champion WOW!!!

 

WWE Championship -- Brock Lesnar (c) def. Cain Velasquez via submission to retain the title In what was a major hype promoters sale,It looked like a crapy MMA match where the fix was in.so Rey Mysterio grabbed a chair and hit Lesnar in the back. Lesnar was unfazed, hitting Mysterio with an F5 onto the chair and dumping him out of the ring. As Lesnar attacked Velasquez with the chair, Mysterio reentered with another and beat the hell out of Lesnar with it, causing him to scramble away. The booking made little sense with Velasquez losing his first match quickly and Mysterio (on Raw) continuing his rivalry with Lesnar (on SmackDown). The MMA aspect was smart, but the title was not needed in this match.

 

The O.C. def. The Viking Raiders via pinfall to win the Tag Team World Cup:It certainly exceeded expectations, particularly the first, fourth and sixth matches (complete order listed below). Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode def. Lucha House Party via pinfall Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode def. Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins via pinfall . Heavy Machinery def. Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode via pinfall . New Day def. Heavy Machinery via pinfall New Day def. B-Team via pinfall . New Day def. The Revival via pinfall . The O.C. def. New Day via pinfall

 

Mansoor def. Cesaro via pinfall I need to watch more wrestling WHO THE FUCK IS MANSOOR!!!!

 

Tyson Fury def. Braun Strowman via countout: The match began with a mix between wrestling and boxing. Strowman took down Fury with a right hand outside the ring, but Fury caught a charging Strowman with a double boot. Fury avoided a running powerslam and hit a drop toe hold on Strowman followed by a big boot. Strowman caught a running Fury for a slam and was successful with two running shoulder tackles. As Strowman attempted to climb back into the ring, Fury connected with a right cross, knocking him off the ring apron and into the barricade. Strowman rose at seven and stumbled around but was unable to reenter before the 10 count. An angry Strowman hit a running powerslam on a celebrating Fury afterwards, but Fury quickly stood up and yelled at Strowman. This was never going to be a good match, but Fury did well enough

 


24/7 Championship -- Samir Singh def. R-Truth (c) via pinfall to win the title
United States Championship -- AJ Styles (c) def. Humberto Carillo via pinfall to retain the title: The crowd was dead for a good match after spending all its energy on Mansoor and Fury.Solid action throughout and the right result in the end. This won't get the credit it deserves

 

Natalya def. Lacey Evans via submission: Despite relaxation on entertainment laws the first WWE women's match in one of the world’s most oppressive countries Saudi Arabia saw the competitors not only wear full-length bodysuits but loose T-shirts to cover any features. It was clear those were last-minute additions to the attire and certainly distracted some at he start. The Royal family didnt look like they were enjoying it. Basicly shiting on the match.The women held hands and hugged a Saudi Arabian woman at ringside who appeared as if she played a role in making the match happen. The women's emotions were clearly real. Some minor credit to WWE getting it done. Cole trying to put over the progressiveness of Saudi Arabia detracted from it

Team Hogan (Roman Reigns, Rusev, Ricochet, Ali & Shorty G) def. Team Flair (Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre, King Corbin, Bobby Lashley & Shinsuke Nakamura): There were a lot of quick tags in the early going with everyone getting a couple featured minutes in the ring.The crowd was hot for the action here, and while a 10-man non-elimination tag team match is a lot, the booking worked with the false finish and Reigns finally going over. A for effort

 

Universal Championship -- "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt def. Seth Rollins via pinfall to win the title (Falls Count Anywhere): This match could not be stopped for any reason.The Fiend stood and gave Rollins the Mandible Claw followed by Sister Abigail to win the title. The lights went out before Wyatt was found standing on the stage with the universal title and flickering lights.Interesting developments in this one as the Fiend, a SmackDown superstar, is now the universal champion on the Raw brand just weeks after WWE promised a real brand split with no crossover between shows. The match itself was good as the first one was between Rollins and the Fiend -- the difference being this one had a far better ending that made sense
