\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the best parts about the largely mid Bad Blood<\/em> PPV<\/span> PLE was when Triple H came out to make an announcement, which turned out to be about one of the Saudi Arabia shows that pretty much nobody in the Western Hemisphere gives two shits about let alone recognizes as being remotely canonical in the WWE storyline ecosystem, and there were noticeable boos coming from the crowd.<\/span><\/p>\n

Atlanta, it\u2019s times like these in which I am proud to be one of us.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seriously though, to top it all off, they unveiled a brand new blet, dubbed the Crown Jewel Championship, that would be awarded to the winners of the respective champion vs. champion matches between the men\u2019s champions and the inferior gender Arabs hate but pretend to tolerate and give rights to in order to futilely gain acceptance from the rest of the world<\/span> women\u2019s champions.<\/span><\/p>\n

And of course, I fucking hate them, as much as I fucking hate the Saudi Arabian shows that the WWE continuously forces down the throats of its viewers like they have the ability to single-handedly erase centuries of primitive cultural behavior.\u00a0 Notice that unveiled was only a men\u2019s variant of the Crown Jewel blet, contrary to the week prior where they unveiled a men\u2019s and<\/em> women\u2019s rebranded NXT championships.<\/span><\/p>\n

Honestly, I wouldn\u2019t be the least bit surprised if there were no actual women\u2019s Crown Jewel blet created, but Hunter going on live television and proclaiming that there would be one, forces the Royal Family to shell out a small mint to create a women\u2019s variant of it, lest the almighty accusations of false advertising and poor optics ding their already-fragile reputation to places outside of the Middle East.<\/span><\/p>\n

On paper, Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther should be a pretty good match, but as is often the case at these Saudi shows, it\u2019s like the talent knows they don\u2019t have to push the gas all the way down, not to mention that they\u2019ll probably be in like Jeddah or Riyadh where it\u2019ll be 104F outside, so they\u2019ll err on the side of caution, and the match will feel neutered and nowhere near as good as people know it could be, if it were at like Wrestlemania or SummerSlam.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Liv Morgan vs. Nia Jax for the women\u2019s Crown Jewel blet?\u00a0 I enjoy Liv, appreciate her love for the business not to mention the snack she is to eyes like mine, but there\u2019s no way she\u2019s going to defeat Nia Jax, without a tremendous amount of monkey business from maybe the recently returned Raquel Rodriguez.\u00a0 Even if Tiffany Stratton cashes in and steals the title away from Nia before the event, Liv vs. Tiffy doesn\u2019t sound as good to me either, because as high as I am on Stratton, she\u2019s still green and I\u2019d rather her first championship reign come when she\u2019s a little bit more ready for it than I think she is now.<\/span><\/p>\n

So once again, Nia will probably come out on top at a Saudi show, but in a different perspective, I guess it\u2019s good that the E utilizes Crown Jewel to be the place to burn a stinker of a program, so that it doesn\u2019t have to be run in a place that might actually appreciate it.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019d really love to see both Liv and Nia come out in boring, sterile putty patrol-gray outfits<\/a> with no personalities, as sort of a protest for the gross second-rate Sharia law bullshit they have to adhere to.\u00a0 And also, after Nia defeats Liv, she gets blind-sided by Raquel and then Tiffy comes out, cashes in, and basically walks out with two blets, with the Women\u2019s championship as well as the bullshit Crown Jewel blet.<\/span><\/p>\n

No matter though, I don\u2019t really care who wins what at this bullshit show, because I\u2019m long past over the E tryna make Saudi Arabia a thing.\u00a0 There\u2019s no way in hell I\u2019ll be able to watch it live, even if I wanted to, in my dad schedule, and if I\u2019m not watching something live, I\u2019m inevitably going to skip through 80% of the show when I watch the replay later, because ain\u2019t nobody got time to watch every single minute when the finishes are just a few clicks away.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, what does this new blet mean for Braun Strowman\u2019s ugly-ass Saudi blet<\/a> he won at the \u201cGreatest\u201d Royal Rumble?\u00a0 Does this replace it?\u00a0 Is it a separate title?\u00a0 Does it matter?\u00a0 Does anyone actually care?\u00a0 Nah.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
