WWE Crown Jewel event features title changes and notable matches
The Crown Jewel show in Saudi Arabia concluded with several championship changes, including new tag team and women's title holders, while other matches received mixed reviews.
The Crown Jewel pay-per-view opened with a Last Man Standing match between Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes. Both competitors delivered a solid performance, though the bout was viewed as less intense than the preceding no-disqualification match on SmackDown.
In the tag-team division, Penta and Je'Von Evans defeated Austin Theory and Bron Breakker to capture the World Tag Team Championships. The victory marked Evans' first main-roster title and added a second championship to Penta's résumé. Interference from Bronson Reed and a subsequent rescue by Oba Femi contributed to the outcome.
Bron Breakker, a member of The Vision, lost the tag titles, a development that may allow him to pursue a solo path ahead of the upcoming Royal Rumble.
In the women's division, Chelsea Green retained the Crown Jewel Championship by defeating Liv Morgan. Following the match, Green was attacked by Morgan, and Tiffany Stratton cashed in her briefcase to win the WWE Women's Championship from Green, also taking possession of the Crown Jewel belt.
The main event featured Roman Reigns versus Sami Zayn. Reigns secured the victory, concluding the evening's card.
