Really fun show
Edge/Rollins was great,nothing else needs to be said
Goldberg/Lashley was good,wish Lashley got the win but you can't have everything you want.
KOTR was perfect,so happy that Xavier gets his moment in the sun
Big E looked like a star and the women's triple threat was really good but little predictable
The main event was the most fun I've had watching a Lesnar match in years. Never thought I would say I want to see another Roman/Brock match but here we are and lucky for me by the rumors we're gonna get plenty.

Oh and New Day is the greatest faction. I don’t care if you disagree.

Reigns vs Brock was good. Ironically, Reigns has never defeated Brock clean. What I didn't like was that Brock made Reigns look somewhat of a bitch after his suplexes. Reigns was dominating the roster and telling people to acknowledge him. That should of been implemented here. This is a different Roman Reigns, he should of slapped Brock around a couple of times to shake the dynamic. Make him acknowledge the tribal chief. I understand Reigns is a heel, but he could of implied a bit of his new character. Maybe Brock didn't want to look bad assuming he also didn't want to put Ambrose over.

Kick Off Match: The Usos Vs. The Hurt Business was a good tag team match both team albeit heels look great in the ring together. Hell in a Cell Match: Edge Vs. Seth Rollins was an amazing match. Both of these guys have chemistry. Hope to see these two again before Edge retires. Mustafa Ali Vs. Mansoor was a good match, hope we get to see these two again on SmackDown. Raw Tag Team Championship: RK-Bro Vs. AJ Style & Omos (ready) was on okay match glad RK-Bro kept the titles. Queen's Crown Final: Zelina Vega Vs. Doudrop was good and glad Zelina Vega won (It's good to see a fellow Puerto Rican from New York do good). No Holds Barred Falls Count Anywhere: Bobby Lashley Vs. Goldberg, Lashley led Goldberg to a great match and if not the best Goldberg match in his recent career. King of the Ring Finals: Finn Balor Vs. Xavier Woods, great match for a first time only match and glad that Woods won, Woods wanted to be the KOTR for the longest time and was a childhood dream of his, Balor didn't need to win cause from what I heard that he is going to get a similar push that Drew McIntyre got. WWE Championship: Big E Vs. Drew McIntyre, Good action between Big E and McIntyre, the right one won and Drew can go after Roman for the Universal Title. Triple Threat Match for the SmackDown Women's Championship: Becky Lynch Vs. Bianca Belair Vs. Sasha Banks. Great match and these ladies look great together and have chemistry. Maybe tomorrow on SmackDown they can explain the whole title situation. Universal Championship: Roman Reigns With Paul Heyman Vs. Brock Lesnar, This was great match, Brock looks like a beast in his current look and Roman looks like a legit star. I thought that they were going to give us a non finish but the finish we got was okay and protected Lesnar.

that was an extremely solid show top to bottom Rollins/Edge was MOTN, absolute banger...all-time level. Mansoor/Ali was great Xavier winning KOTR was great, and I wonder if all his post-match stuff is going to lead to a storyline where being "King" gets to his head and he does like a temporary heel turn Goldberg/Lashley was more entertaining than it should have been, it actually was a good story and I didn't mind that Goldberg won because of it Tag Title match was fine, good filler, loved Riddle on the camel and just a good match. It's definitely time for AJ/Omos to move on to something else though Both world title matches were great overall and I'm glad there were no title changes here to pick a couple of negatives...while Woods vs Finn was good, I felt like it was rushed, and I just didn't get as invested in it as I thought. I think part of it was because I like both guys. there's really something to be said about having a face v heel match. I know Sami isn't ever part of these shows, but man Woods v Sami would have been a much better dynamic and made Woods win feel that much more special. I didn't like the ending of Big E vs. Drew. and I'm really kind of sick of Roman winning all his big matches with shenanigans. its just played out at this point. the ref bump was one of the dumbest things ever, Naitch was literally staring at the move waiting to take it and then you just saw a belt shot and outside interference but somehow a new ref is able to count 1-2-3? just bad booking and once again the need to have Roman win but also try to "protect" Lesnar. its like every match he has there's just some ery. but yet he's presented as the greatest wrestler to ever step foot in a ring in the history of the company. In the end, this show was better than every other Crown Jewel combined. Because it felt like a PPV and not a House Show. The wrestling was solid, the commentary was actually good and the crowd being super-hot all night helps a LOT.

They probably felt like they had to actually put effort into this one because it's the sole October PPV, and I'm thankful they did for once.

ing awesome PPV! Obviously their best Saudi show and probably their best PPV in recent years. Great card. Great matches. Even the crowd were right into it, which they usually aren't with these Saudi shows. They were firing on all cylinders start to finish. The Cell. I mean, what more can be said about it that hasn't been said already so far? Xavier was the right choice to win. The King gimmick doesn't really suit Finn, but Woods' persona can make it work for a face when its more of a heel role. Plus that elbow drop looks more and more impressive each time he does it. At the same time though, it felt more like a constellation prize for Woods since both Big E and Kofi have already won the WWE Championship, and Woods certainly isn't gonna be winning it. Lashley and Goldberg was better than expected. I hated that Lashley's chain punches were being done as if they were just normal punches when really they should have been a match ender, especially that many of them. Great finish though. I miss moves off the stage when it was actually a decent height rather than a couple feet. I'd have liked it more if it was done off the stage itself rather than the ramp and allowed Goldberg to get a bit more of a run up instead of just a few steps. I'm liking that the women are becoming more and more prominent at these shows. From Renee Young being allowed to commentate, to a women's tournament final and a women's championship match on the same show. Hopefully they'll be allowed to ditch the all over clothing in the near future but I don't see it happening. Granted the Triple Threat match was a bit botchy and super choreographed at some points, it was still a solid match. Its always more fun when each person in the match has the potential to win and ramps the unpredictability right up. Brock and Roman went as expected and did not disappoint. I'd have liked to see Roman's heel persona make more of an appearance though. He's been built up so much so he should have been more equal with Brock. Like someone mentioned above, slap him around a bit, tell Brock to acknowledge him etc. Not a fan of the interference. I guess it makes sense in this case but Roman is dominant as and it somewhat tarnishes that dominance when he's having to win every PPV match with help from the Usos.

Great show. The best Saudi show ever and one of the better PPVs I’ve seen WWE put out in awhile.
