WWE Crown Jewel 2023 (Wrestling Review)

WWE

Crown Jewel

Riyadh, Saudi-Arabien

Nov. 4th, 2023

 

Singles Match
Sami Zayn vs. JD McDonagh

This was pretty much just a mid Raw type match. Sami winning gets the crowd going in a good mood. 

3 / 5

WWE World Heavyweight Title Match
Seth Rollins (c) vs. Drew McIntyre

This was a good opening match. Good action even if Drew has been used so bad that I never thought he had one chance at the belt. 

3.5 / 5

WWE Women’s World Title Fatal Five Way Match
Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Nia Jax vs. Zoey Stark vs. Shayna Baszler vs. Raquel Rodriguez

This was a big battle match. Instead of being less people and a more centered match we got the generic these people fight, someone breaks it up, they fight, rinse and repeat. It was good though here and I didn’t expect Rhea to lose. 

3.25 / 5

Singles Match
John Cena vs. Solo Sikoa

This gives Solo a massive credible win here. Cena is going with the story that he just can’t win and its fine. He’s still okay in the ring even if he talks the next spot so loud. 

3 / 5

WWE United States Title Match
Rey Mysterio (c) vs. Logan Paul

This was a lot of fun too. Logan Paul is a natural in the ring and even helped save Mysterio from getting hurt. His run with the belt will bring new eyes in and give some good feuds. 

3.75 / 5

WWE Women’s Title Match
IYO SKY (c) vs. Bianca Belair

This was fine but nothing special. Sane returning is cool and all but it just didn’t feel like a big match deal. 

2.75 / 5

Singles Match
Cody Rhodes vs. Damian Priest

Another match that could have just been on Raw. Cody is getting built up again and having to do multiple finishers on Priest makes Priest look strong or Codys finisher look weak. 

2.5 / 5

WWE Title / WWE Universal Title Match
Roman Reigns (w/Paul Heyman) (c) vs. LA Knight

God I’m tired of Reigns run. Now he’ll disappear for a few months again. This was what you’d expect, interference and a spear for the win. Knight was never gonna win but he held in there. 

2 / 5
