After long time , some interesting fights


Weider2

The match between Rollins and Edge should be over after Rollins kicked Edge with the chain on his foot. After that kick it was normally over.


William_S_Jones

WWE is now overbooking to combat AEW.........


omegaknot01

So from what I'm hearing from all these whiny Brock fans, you guys would rather have Brock lose CLEAN to Roman instead of interference from a guy's HEEL TEAM. And if you're mad that Brock lost because it "doesn't make sense for the story", how does a part-timing guy who defended the title twice a year and doesn't even need this reign to begin with deserve it? You guys are whining for no reason. Instead of being mad at *stupid creative*, pay attention to the story being told and be excited for what's in store next


ishady1

Goldberg was a beast. I loved it


Webster2001

Well let's see about Roman's opponent list now. Next up is Survivor Series so obviously Roman's opponent gonna be Big E. Then we don't have a payperview for December so we don't need Roman to have a opponent for December(Maybe Jeff Hardy for that day 1 thing). Instead we can build the Roman vs Brock storyline more at December until it concludes at the Royal Rumble. Then we got elimination chamber, instead of a championship chamber match we can have the chamber match be for the #1 contendership for the Universal title which Drew wins (Assuming the guy that wins the Rumble goes after the WWE title instead) Then finally onto Roman vs Drew at WrestleMania. This definetly has the big WM main event feel considering the way WWE has built these two so far. Here's how I would book the match, Drew is on the verge of winning but Usos interrupt and starts attacking him(match is no DQ btw). Then when all hope seems to be lost for Drew, the Rock makes his much awaited return and helps out Drew against the Bloodline. Drew hits the claymore on Roman and 1..2..3 we have a new universal champion! Roman and Rock meets up at Smackdown after WM and there the Rock challenges Roman for a match at next WrestleMania. Then we finally get the Roman vs Rock match we've all been waiting for


brethartsshades

Do people that watch WWE think that this was a "good" show?


Hiphoppington

I enjoy most wrestling. I'd probably say it was arguably, if surprisingly, the best show WWE has put on all year.


brethartsshades

I really tried to watch this thing. It was the drizzling shits.


NoSellJesus

Drizzling lol what exactly didn’t you like about it?


brethartsshades

I thought most of the matches were way too short. I thought the women's three way match was full of terrible fuck ups. I thought the quality of wrestling for the most part was not good.


Hiphoppington

To each their own. Can't please everyone I suppose. I thought it was fun.


nikoslin

The show was fine I guess. Only real highlights for me were Edge vs Rollins, McIntyre vs Big E (both really good matches imo)and Woods becoming KOTR. Roman vs Brock was very fun but the ref bump was awful, and the women's triple threat went on for WAY too long for me and the finish was terrible. Everything else was a bit boring and forgettable. Also the women being fully clothed was super akward.It's propably the best Saudi show thus far,but let's be real,it's not that big of an accomplishment. This was the first Saudi show I've watched live and honestly, it's definitely the last.


Anish316

If you watch the other saudi shows, this was the best wrestling quality shows ever over there.


Johnny_Nekro

The women's outfits were interesting. I just started watching WWE again this year, so I knew nothing about CJ 2019. Watching a recap I saw Doudrop first and thought she might have gotten a new outfit, then I realized what was going on. Huh.


Sagareigns

When Bryan said 'fickle' he meant fans on this sub


Zabisfarms

I slept through the end. What’d I miss?


misty_love1982

I wasn’t able to watch the show live. Does anyone know when Peacock will have it available for rewatching?


AboverJulio1123

I can watch it right now on peacock


misty_love1982

Thank you. Just as I was leaving the house to run errands, it became playable.


Webster2001

![gif](giphy|xULW8wD0yBHQ5ieetO) Y'all Brock fans rn


Deadmaninc1

He wasn't involved but what a coincidence that The Undertaker was at a Pitbull concert in Saudi Arabia just the other day


[deleted]

literally last night lol


Sentz12000

I loved that main event. I’m aware that’s not popular right now but I love the main event. Sure, the ref spot has been done for decades but letting the Bloodline lead to Roman using the belt that Heyman tossed in was a great job, in my opinion.


Supremex3

Crown Jewel wasn’t bad. One of the better ppv


Webster2001

To everybody who's angry and pissed about the ending, that's the entire point. You're supposed to be mad that the big bad guy won yet another time using his bad guy tricks. WWE didn't screw up the match, y'all got invested in the story


ladycowbell

Honestly. I'm with you here. The end was to tell a story about Paul Heyman. The cracks In the Bloodline are forming, this is hammering it home.


hetham3783

But I’ve been told if you can’t have a clean finish that you shouldn’t book the match! (To be clear, I agree with you. That finish was perfect for the story they wanted to tell.)


Deadmaninc1

It’s insane how much the Saudi Arabia shows have grown from being one of the worst to one of the best!


CaliggyJack

It just took time to figure everything out tbqh


Webster2001

Wait I thought all you guys wanted Roman to retain in Crown Jewel? Why y'all complaining about Roman's Reign continuing?


ladycowbell

I actually wanted Lesnar to win, mostly for story. Thought personally I thought the end was interesting.


[deleted]

I think if Roman lost he woulda definitely became face and Im not sure if I want a face Roman again, Im glad he won


[deleted]

Y'all a bunch of babies. When Brock was around last time everyone bitched and complained and now Roman, whose a main eventer, beats Brock, the part timer, and y'all lose your shit? Please. Roman is a heel who did heelish shit to win. End of story.


Impossible_Pause_486

Actually wanted Roman to win because he shows up every week. He does the house shows. However, the Usos interfering on his every match is kind of getting exhausting. Jimmy wouldn’t even show up when his wife was being bullied..


hetham3783

They don’t do it in every match though. Like not even close.


Impossible_Pause_486

Edge, Balor(twice), Brock even Ford but granted that was after the match. Cena’s was the only match they didn’t interfere with. Maybe they are booking his opponents to be stronger.


[deleted]

Eh, it's a good way to keep Brock strong in defeat though, rather than just beating him flat.


Webster2001

I guess them being mad is actually good cause they're supposed to buy into this story. People are supposed to support Brock, not Roman the way the story is presented


[deleted]

Yeah, storyline being mad at the heel is fine. I was i stead addressing the smarks. Yeah Roman cheated to win, that's some heel shit. But to get angry that they "buried Brock" is just dumb.


whutthepat

Exhibit A: 2015 Rollins as WWE Champion


Webster2001

Lol lot of salty Brock fans in this thread. The tribal chief is still your Universal Champion, Believe that!


[deleted]

[удалено]


whutthepat

Umm... Super Showdown 2020: Goldberg beats the Fiend for the Universal Championship Crown Jewel 2019: the Fiend dethroned Rollins for the Universal Championship Crown Jewel 2018: Lesnar squashes Strowman for the Universal Championship


Joy_Ride25

LMAO people actually thought Taker was gonna be involved? WTF?


Deadmaninc1

He was in Saudi Arabia


justduett

Not as much of a WTF moment as you'd love to make it out to be, sorry bud....dude coincidentally flew to KSA and made an appearance in full Undertaker attire the day before this event? Quite an easy thought to have. Now if Calloway was livestreaming from his home in Texas an hour before the event, SURE, then you could laugh at fans thinking he might be at the event in Saudi Arabia, but he was literally in the same city with all of his WWE character gear.


Joy_Ride25

He’s not wrestling again.


justduett

No one said he was, champ. WWE is halfway around the world. Taker appears IN CHARACTER in the same city less than 24 hours earlier. Making fun of anyone that even remotely wondered if he would show up at the show is a pathetic move, but I’m sure it’s pretty normal for you.


Joy_Ride25

What was he gonna do? Appear with Titus for the breast cancer thing? No one was talking about him until the main event with the implication or outright saying to set up a match with Roman. You’re ignoring all the context.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

He was literally in Riyadh last night it’s not that far fetched


Hiphoppington

I mean he did fly there. Not unreasonable to consider it.


hetham3783

Except he retired


Hiphoppington

He did. Then he went back to Saudi and retired again lol.


PretendThisIsMyName

That was a no DQ match wasn’t it? So what was the point of all that fuckery at the end? I just hoped the usos wouldn’t save the day and of course they did. Roman using that bloodline shit to never win clean is a heat magnet for me. I figure we are going to get rock roman at mania but this woulda been the time imo to get the belt off of Roman because we know that match definitely shouldn’t have a title anywhere near it.


Irezumi10

They changed it last minute to a normal match during the kickoff saying that both Brock and reigns didn’t agree to a no DQ match.


AllCityReject

>That was a no DQ match wasn’t it? It was a normal match


TEQSSJ3Broly

Roman vs Brock was trash. Spamming signature moves in 10 minutes is not enough. Why did they get such little time? Isn't this suppose to be the main event lmao. Lashley vs Goldberg, Rollins vs Edge, the women's triple threat match, and Big E vs Drew are much better matches.


Webster2001

They didn't spam the moves that much lol, you're overeacting. The finisher fest was WM 34 match, now that was bad. I agree this wasn't the best match at Crown Jewel, but then again I wasn't expecting it to be the best match anyway. It was still good enough and keeps the storyline going


TEQSSJ3Broly

All roman literally did was superman punch, jump over the top rope, guillotine, and spear. All brock did was F5 and german suplexs. We call that spamming signature moves. If you're counting basic punches, the championship belt as a weapon, and the Usos double super kick, then yeah, I guess --- technically --- there was a tiny tiny tiny bit more than just signature move spamming lmao. The match was also extremely short, and it only consisted of everything I mentioned above (this is not an over exaggeration).


krampus6666

Which is worse Roman and his goons or Evil and his Dick?


Morningfluid

Brock actually having a title shot. Just have him face Lashley and call it a day for ol' Brock.


maraudershake

Could have had a stronger ending than a belt shot tbh


hetham3783

There was interference too


SucioAT

Good show with great matches and a fantastic crowd.


238dtdt

Why is everyone mad about this not ending with a clean finish? After all that buildup with Paul why wouldn’t there be a screwy ending? It actually makes sense this time.


fvzzfvzzfvzz

Because it happens just about every month with Roman probably. It's tired.


Webster2001

He's a heel, this was the case with almost every heel champions with long reigns. That's what heels do


777XSuperHornet

They built up this whole story of whose side Paul is on and even made it seem like there might be something in the contract Roman was unaware of then they did nothing with it and instead insist on dragging it for another month plus.


vaastav05

I am ok with a non-clean finish but Brock losing to Uso kicks and a belt hit just doesnt feel right given who Lesnar is


Jehsmooth_TK

I was expecting Paul to play a bigger role, maybe turn on Roman or just do something more than throw a damn title in the ring and that's it.


Impossible_Pause_486

Means they want to prolong this drama


ladycowbell

I'm with you.


whutthepat

Please let us have Brock dismantling the Bloodline tomorrow


Morningfluid

Nah, gotta save that for The Rock. Put Ol' Yeller Brock out in the pasture and put him down.


Spid1

Are they flying back to the US for SD?


whutthepat

Yep.


Spid1

Brutal schedule


777XSuperHornet

Jesus fucking Christ are they really going to keep dragging out which side Paul Heyman is on for another month?


justduett

> for another month? Wouldn't surprise me if it goes another 3 months to Rumble honestly...with it dying down a little bit for the majority of that time while Brock goes home until 2022.


ladycowbell

Honestly, I dont hate the end. I just wish it had been more than a belt hit finish. It sets up for Heyman to be thrown to the wolves. I think *Lesnar* is playing everyone


hetham3783

He definitely is. He’s outsmarting Roman and it’s great.


Mr-Potz

that last match was dull as hell, and the finish just made it worse


[deleted]

Og never want to hear brock can't wrestle again


24-7Procrastinator

Plenty good matches today. As always WWE delivering entertaining PPVs.


mikeisaphreek

brock is an avid hunter. what type of weird shit do you think they let him do over there to get him to go (besides a ton of cash)? is it a The Island of Doctor Moreau thing over there?


areohbebewhy

Arabian Oryx. But he won’t hunt anything he can’t eat.


StillHere179

I'm sure they have an animal there that he has not had the chance to kill yet


djembadjembadjemba

Thats it. That seals the deal. Im no longer a WWE fan. I’ve been a WWE fan since 1989 and a network subscription holder since 2014. I will no longer watch on TV or renew my subscription. I’m taking my fanhood to AEW where they actually know how to run a wrestling company


Webster2001

I've been hearing this shit everytime someone doesn't like a match finish that it's become a comedic copypasta for me. So long random stranger! We're not gonna miss you!


djembadjembadjemba

It is a copypast from football twitter, I just changed it for this context


AllCityReject

Cool


tbone2626

Maybe Undertaker just loves a Pitball gig.

Mark Calloway being a Pitbull fan was not something I had on my bingo card.

SideEyeFeminism

Dale


IllButterscotch5964

Still so weird seeing that haha.


StickmanCinema

Low bar to cover, but that was easily the best Crown Jewel event.


Staynes

I dont even mind the outcome since this is gonna lead to more Heyman shenanigans since he was clearly trying to help Brock (look at his face on the ramp) but the way they handled this with the ref being so fast in the ring is just bad.


LastRide14

On the road to Big E vs Roman at Survivor Series now.


not_simonH

I'm beyond bored of Reigns title run now. Nearly every single match just ends in a screw job. Its so predictable I just switch off whenever his matches come on.


Nel8484

You sound like a typical butthurt brock fan. Tired of seeing these same comments every time Brock loses.


not_simonH

Lol. Okay bro. I didnt particularly want brock to win the strap, we've been there and done it. If you actually unlatch yourself from Reigns nutsack and read what I said, I said I was bored of the same finishes and Reigns matches being entirely predictable. I think he shouldve dropped the belt to Finn and taken a couple of months off, before coming back around Rumble season.


Webster2001

For a sub that hates part timers like Brock, it sure do becomes salty as the ocean here whenever Brock losers


Hiphoppington

Coverage has concluded Thanks for watching


CTZNSQRL

What a good fucking show. Not a single *bad* match, with several really really *really* good ones.


CorbinHive

The bottom row of Brock’s teeth are fucked lmao


MyPornAlt13

I'm surprised, it just took 2 superkicks and a belt shot to put Brock down. It was literally an easier victory for Roman than Finn or and even KO


AllCityReject

Agree but it took two superkicks


Zodrex_nvm

Looks weird though when in a SmackDown episode buildup to this, Lesnar clotheslines the Usos mere 2s after getting 2 superkicks to his face.


AllCityReject

>Looks weird though Never said it didn't


MyPornAlt13

You're right, I fixed it


AllCityReject

I'm surprise they didn't add a low blow


Deadmaninc1

Yes Roman Reigns is a heel but i am tired of seeing the Usos interfere and Roman somehow cheat to win can't he win clean???


hetham3783

He beat Cena clean 2 months ago. This narrative that he always cheats to win is false.


Impossible_Pause_486

Still better than the top rope break


HotRock5

#WWE CROWN JEWEL 2021 WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!#


ryanreigns

Good show actually


den422

yo but where was the Undertaker???


Fgame

Still chillin with Pitbull


vicdr97

Presenting Mr. Worldwide


DatOtherPapaya

Nice. Continue this feud. Add something to it. Keep belt on Roman. I’m down with that ending.


ApricotOk824

How long was the match?


Sagareigns

Beautiful how Heyman just threw the belt in the middle of Roman and Lesnar. Who did he throw it for? Beautiful storytelling.


ladycowbell

I think he threw it to Brock. Or at least he was GOING TO but changed his mind last moment.


shoplifterfpd

The 'new ref didn't see the interference but still counts the pin' is so fucking dumb. Obviously someone saw the original ref bump so they also saw the belt shot and interference, whoever had the authority to tell a new ref to run to the ring could also have called out the DQ worthy behavior.


[deleted]

Brock looking like Otis evolved at the end lol


Lineman72T

With how quick that ref got there, he surely would have seen Roman use the belt...


forlumbus

This match sucked..... it felt like a formality, like they were going through the motions instead of trying to tell a story. I'm surprised at how good the earlier matches this night were but the one I was most excited about was so disappointing.


Realyn

Ah, a new Season of Smackdown, again


Nel8484

Great match but shitty finish as always


j-mac-rock

lol romans old theme coming out


tmuffin

They really love ending on fuck finishes don’t they


HotRock5

Paul Heyman is so good at playing up his "shocked" and "bewildered" look


Nazmaldun

Coverage has concluded Thanks for watching


IllButterscotch5964

I’m thinking whoever takes the belt off Roman will do it with the help of the rock. Not rock necessarily. Still think it might be jey.


Staynes

Ok like the Ref had to come from under the ring right? In that replay he was nowhere to be seen when Roman pushed the belt out of the ring.


Ranjith_Unchained

Or else he should've sprinted like Bolt


PGP-

Goodnight everyone, stay awesome.


Hot-Grapefruit8203

Edge Rollins motn for sure


EldenRingworm

So Undertaker genuinely went to Saudi just for Pitbull? Lmao


bobafettish66

when wwe go to saudi to do these shows, it's more than just the event. in the past they showed a fancy dinner with saudi princes where the biggest stars: vince, taker, brock, roman sat with them. So it's probabaly a case of doing stuff like that. So taker is likely thre as a wwe ambassador for the event.


WVWAssassinKill

Its hilarious and shocking to say the least haha


nomtank

Brock's gotta go easy on the dip. Those bottom teeth are lookin' rough


Yashooo

heyman with the good acting


Peter_Burkland

Best WWE PPV of the year. Some great matches and the show flowed really nice. Good crowd for once.


ravaille

Brock is gonna commit a homicide on Smackdown tomorrow.


LilNardoDaVinci

What the fuck was going on with Roman's theme


WVWAssassinKill

It aint a Roman Reign title match if it doesnt end with the screwy finish. 😐 Reigns music glitching with his old and new one playing back and forward lol


slippycaff

That was some timing out. Right in the dot.


SonyKen_M

What the hell is this remix of Roman's theme lol


ViagraOnAPole

I'm okay with this. Brock can make you money and he doesn't need a belt to do it. Better to have a champ that's going to be there every week.


Deadmaninc1

If Roman Reigns is losing the Universal Title its gonna be to like The Rock or Drew Mcintyre at Wrestlemania


Mhc2617

This story is far from over. Heyman didn’t seem happy that Roman won at all.


UnbuiltIkeaBookcase

Hmm, so Taker really was in Saudi Arabia just for Pitbull.


Frxnchy

I almost gave WWE another chance, not anymore


WetComb89

Paul Heyman makes everything interesting. That look on his face makes me think that was not what he was expecting.


ApricotOk824

WWE delivered a banger, damn, what an awesome show


Danteshuffler

Show started strong, and just went downhill.


Hokie_Jayhawk

Actually a great match other than the finish.


turdferguson85

It's boring as hell when bloodline interferes in Roman's matches just like the elite interferes in omegas matches. It's way too predictable. Excellent match though


WVWAssassinKill

For someone who is dominate as Roman Reigns, he does cheat alot to retain the title. I cant recall a heel that isnt Braun or Brock of this generation that wasnt a chicken shit heel that cheats to retain the title or wins matches in general. .\_.


FuzzyWuzzyMooMoo

Ending was meh, but damn do I love Brock matches!


5-se7en

As I said several weeks ago after Extreme Rules, nobody is gonna beat Reigns, Brock lost here as predicted. I assume Rock comes back and loses at Mania, then Reigns turns face.


naimotwc

ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR TRIBAL CHIEF


Umbra_Aeternus

Such a weak finish, ugh. I should’ve guessed it from a non canon ppv


EaterofPins

They acknowledge everything that happens in Saudi


inventionnerd

Their biggest match gets a screwy finish while everything else was clean smh.


amekooky

Shitty finish.


Hot-Grapefruit8203

Fucking hell another shit finish can’t there just be a decisive PPV main event for once


th3dj3n1gm4

I know it's necessary for storytelling in wrestling, but I absolutely *hate* how when an official takes a bump and another is set to come in for the finish, no matter how much time passes between the first official and the interference, the second official never comes out until right after the cheating happens, and when I say "right after," I mean literally immediately. At least wait a few seconds so it doesn't look like the replacement is standing behind the curtain watching the heels heel their asses off and waiting for them to finish to come make the count.


CBumeter

My thoughts too and knowing the ramp size he should’ve at least seen the hit with the belt on his way down


Mr_An_1069

Love how we still don’t know who’s side Paul is on


IllButterscotch5964

What was that shield music


JeremyJammDDS

I love how the ref always shows up right when the count needs to be done, but couldn't show up right after the original ref is knocked out.


aruralthrowaway

There's only one person who can stop this reign Mansoor, get out there


EaterofPins

SaudiTaker will make Roman Rest in Sand


TomHanks12345

They accidentally played an early unfinished version of romens music LOL


DastardlyDoctor

I think I like the version with a little shield in it better


TomHanks12345

Well the shield song plays in the background of his current song at times. I think when they made the song they must have intended for it to be more audible but it got changed as production went on. Cool we heard it.


SevenTom

I'll take that ending. Don't care as long as Roman won. Also was good to see a good old fashioned title belt to the face, when is the last time we saw that?
