It’s all done. WWE has expanded its international schedule in recent months, with several shows taking place outside of the United States. It makes for an important moment when another country gets to host a major show as the fans are in for something special. That might be what takes place again this week, as an international show has already been recorded.

This weekend, WWE presented its annual Crown Jewel event from Saudi Arabian. WWE also stuck around for this week’s Monday Night Raw, which is being taped in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the first time. This is part of WWE’s agreement with the country which has been in progress since 2018. Here are the show’s results, courtesy of PWInsider.com:
* Liv Morgan kicked off the show with a promo about completing her revenge tour now that Rhea Ripley has been injured again. She was interrupted by Women’s Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill. Morgan reportedly tried to cause tension between the two by saying they were not on the same page. Adam Pearce then announced a Battle Royal to determine the next contender for Morgan’s Women’s World Championship.
* Iyo Sky later won the No. 1 Contender Battle Royal. She is now the next contender for Morgan.
* A promo showcased Sami Zayn reuniting with The Usos.
* Dragon Lee beat Chad Gable after Rey Mysterio got involved in the matchup.
* Damian Priest won the Fatal 4-Way No. 1 Contenders Match for the World Heavyweight Championship that also featured Dominik Mysterio, Sheamus, and Seth Rollins. This means Priest will be the next challenger for World Heavyweight Champion Gunther. Bronson Reed reportedly came out during the match and took out Rollins after putting him through a table.
* After the match, Gunther came out to confront Priest, the man who he previously won the title from. Gunther and Priest reportedly faced off.
They’re following a big one. Check out what happened at Crown Jewel:
Opinion: This is something that happens every so often and hopefully it works out well. The show is going to start getting us ready for Survivor Series in less than a month. That is an important show and hopefully we get to move on towards the show with some bigger stakes. Hopefully WWE can make this interesting, as you definitely want to see something big going into one of the bigger shows of the year.
