I probably shouldn’t have watched this show after a 10 hour work shift but there you go. Opening with a 40 minute HIAC match just killed me immediately. Good match don’t get me wrong but too long.
Rest of the card was pretty decent. Goldberg v Lashley was a hell of a lot better than their dire Summerslam match though the commentary annoyed the shit out of me (Goldberg’s kid put his hands on Lashley first you idiots!). Excellent women’s title match but not happy Becky retained and hoping we don’t get a belt swap tonight. Drag it to Survivor Series and unify the titles or just rename them or something.
The finish to Roman v Brock pissed me off. How the heck did the ref not see what happened? There is no way he didn’t see that. I don’t like WWE treating us like idiots.
The camels were probably the highlight of the show for me. Animals are great. Saudi propaganda not so much. I felt like throwing up every time Cole gushed about the place.

Vince's hardon for Reigns is insane. Thank Zod we have another world title.
Visually speaking the show was perfect, one impressive match after another. But beyond that the show was hollow and empty, all flair and no substance.

Last night, I went to bed being ashamed of being a wrestling fan & what WWE has become, but this afternoon, I watched Crown Jewel & everything that I saw erased those feelings out of my head. Here are my thoughts about WWE Crown Jewel. First of all, I want to mention that I feel guilty watching a show from Saudi Arabia, so to ease that guilt, every time WWE runs a show there, I donate $10 (the price of my Subscription) to Sami Zayn's Charity, helping children in Syria. I had to watch the Kickoff Match on Youtube, since it wasn't on Peacock. The Hurt Business VS The Usos was a fun match even though I think they only reason they did it was because all 4 men were already going to be there for Goldberg/Lashley & Lesnar/Reigns. Now, the show proper. Really good opening video & pyro. I love the camels at ringside & the show wasn't even on Hump Day. Edge VS Seth Rollins in the Hell In A Cell was incredible. Each match they have had has been better than the last. Also, with all of the uses of Tables, Ladders, & Chairs, I can see why there won't be a TLC PPV this year. And I have to give props to Jessika Carr for being the 1st female referee to work in Saudi Arabia. Good video package on Bianca Belair. Mansoor VS Mustafa Ali was an excellent match. Cool moment for Mansoor. It was cool for the people of Saudi Arabia to see the Karate Olympic Medalist or as Michael Cole called him a "Karate Player." I didn't watch the Olympics, so I had no idea who he was, but I would be like that for any athlete that's not a wrestler. I love what they did with Natalya & Titus O'Neil since this was the 1st time they did anything to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month all month besides the ribbon on the entrance screen. Riddle on the Camel was the best wrestling entrance on a Camel since Bobby Heenan. RK-Bro VS Omos & Styles was a great match, even when Omos was in the ring. I still don't want to see it again on Monday. OK promo by Becky Lynch. OK video on Charlotte Flair. Doudrop VS Zelina Vega was pretty good despite the difference in size. At least it lasted longer than 2 minutes. Goldberg's entrance was pointless. If he wanted to kill Lashley so bad, why did it take him so long to get to the ring? I didn't care about Goldberg VS Lashley since I have never been a fan of Goldberg, but I have to give Goldberg credit for doing that Spear off the ramp. Xavier Woods VS Finn Balor was incredible. So proud & happy for Woods. Big E VS Drew McIntyre was tremendous. The Be A Star Rally was nice. The Triple Threat Match was amazing. Sasha Banks, Bianca Belair, & Becky Lynch gave their all. Brock Lesnar VS Roman Reigns was pretty good, but they should have just made it a No DQ Match if they were going to do all of the shenanigans at the end.
