Run the Jewels: Cody Rhodes, Liv Morgan Win at WWE Event in Saudi Arabia
Gunther and Nia Jax won King and Queen of the Ring in May, but when they returned to Saudi Arabia, they were unable to secure the crown jewels.
Cody Rhodes (Smackdown) and Liv Morgan (Raw) won the special Crown Jewel belts by defeating their championship counterparts on Saturday’s show in Riyadh.
Gunther and Nia Jax parlayed their King and Queen victories into SummerSlam wins over Damien Priest and Bayley, respectively.
Both of them seemed to be the favorites to win at Crown Jewel due to their physical dominance.
Rhodes survived a beating to catch Gunther in a cradle to win the main event.
Morgan used interference from Dominik Mysterio and Raquel Rodriguez to score the upset victory over Jax.
Tiffany Stratton did not cash in her Money in the Bank briefcase on either champion, despite what she said on Smackdown.
The giant belts will remain in Saudi Arabia, but Cody and Liv received special Crown Jewel rings that they can take home.
THE REAL TRIBAL CHIEF
Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu & Tama Tonga (Bloodline 2.0) defeated Jimmy & Jey Uso & Roman Reigns in another upset. Solo pinned Reigns after a pair of Samoan Spikes to lay claim to the “Tribal Chief” designation.
Tanga Loa joined the new Bloodline for a 4-on-3 attack, but Sami Zayn came to the rescue.
Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill continued to dominate the women’s tag teams from Raw, Smackdown, and NXT. They defeated Damage CRTL, Meta-Four, and Chelsea Green & Piper Niven.
The match between Randy Orton and Kevin Owens devolved into a crazy brawl and was canceled before it could get started.
LA Knight retained his US title by defeating Carmelo Hayes and Andrade in a triple threat match.
Seth Rollins prepared for another run at the World title by defeating the monstrous Bronson Reed with a curb stomp off the top rope.
Rollins will attempt to become the top contender on Monday’s Raw. He will face Sheamus, Damien Priest, and Dominik Mysterio.
