The fallout from WWE Crown Jewel 2024 unfolded spectacularly at the Mohammed Abdo Arena in Riyadh as WWE Raw kicked off with the newly crowned WWE Crown Jewel Women’s Champion, Liv Morgan, making a grand entrance alongside Dominik Mysterio and Raquel Rodriguez.
Morgan, basking in her recent victory, declared the end of her “Liv Morgan Revenge Tour” and took a moment to revel in the absence of her rival, Rhea Ripley, due to injury, proclaiming herself as “the greatest women’s champion of all-time.” While Dominik Mysterio was met with the usual chorus of boos.
However, the atmosphere shifted dramatically with the entrance of WWE Women’s Tag-Team Champions, Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair.
Belair, not one to be overshadowed, reminded Morgan that she wasn’t the only one to leave Crown Jewel with gold. Tensions escalated as Morgan attempted to sow discord between Belair and Cargill, leading to Belair challenging Morgan and Rodriguez to a tag-team match.
WWE official Adam Pearce intervened, initially rejecting the idea but then announcing a battle royal to determine Morgan’s next title challenger, setting the stage for the night’s first match.
The battle royal featured a lineup of fierce competitors, including Unholy Union, Maxxine Durpi, Sonya Deville, Shayna Baszler, Ivy Nile, Katana, Zelina Vega, Natalya, and Lyra Valkyria.
The match was a whirlwind of action, culminating in a showdown between Iyo Sky, Belair, Cargill, and Valkyria. Morgan’s interference led to the elimination of Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair, leaving Iyo Sky and Valkyria to battle it out. Ultimately, the “Genius of the Sky” emerged victorious, securing her spot as the next challenger for Morgan’s title.
Backstage, a tense segment unfolded with Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston, which was abruptly interrupted by footage of The Miz, still reeling from last week’s kidnapping. In a chilling exchange, Bo Dallas taunted The Miz, hinting at sinister intentions before Uncle Howdy made a menacing appearance.
In tag-team action, The War Raiders clashed with The New Day, securing a decisive victory. The match was preceded by a backstage confrontation with The Judgment Day, hinting at a future showdown for the tag-team titles.
Sami Zayn electrified the arena with his entrance, only to be joined by “Main Event” Jey Uso, whose arrival sent the crowd into a frenzy of “YEET” chants. The segment took an unexpected turn with the appearance of Jimmy Uso, sparking a nostalgic “Sami Uso!” chant from the fans. The Usos left the ring together, leaving the audience buzzing with anticipation.
In a fast-paced encounter, Dragon Lee faced off against Chad Gable. Despite Gable’s initial dominance and the crowd’s “YOU SUCK!” chants, Dragon Lee’s agility and speed turned the tide. A timely distraction by Rey Mysterio allowed Lee to capitalize and secure the victory, much to the delight of the Riyadh crowd.
The night culminated in a high-stakes main event featuring Seth Rollins, Damian Priest, Sheamus, and Dominik Mysterio vying for a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
The match was a showcase of athleticism and strategy, with each competitor delivering their best. The turning point came with the unexpected interference of “Big” Bronson Reed, who put Rollins through a table, allowing Priest to seize the victory. WWE Raw ended with GUNTHER confronting Priest, setting the stage for their impending clash for the championship.
