Reigns beats Zayn after two spears
Reigns and Zayn closed the show in a champion against champion match, with no world title at stake. Zayn came close: a Helluva Kick brought a near fall, and he had Reigns pinned while the referee was down after Zayn struck Chad Patton with a Superman Punch. A second referee counted, but Reigns kicked out. Reigns answered with two spears, the second a running spear, and pinned Zayn in about 24 minutes.
After the match, Zayn offered a handshake. Reigns slapped it away, then pulled Zayn into a hug. Triple H presented Reigns with the belt, a ring, and the Ula Fala. Both men kept their world titles: the Crown Jewel bouts were trophy matches.
Stratton cashes in on Green
Chelsea Green won the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship by beating Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan in 16 minutes and 15 seconds, countering Morgan’s Oblivion into a roll-up pin. Green was still speaking to the crowd when Morgan attacked her from behind.
Tiffany Stratton ran out, first looking ready to help Green, then hit her with the briefcase, declared the cash-in, and pinned Green with the Prettiest Moonsault Ever in about three seconds. Stratton is now the WWE Women’s Champion. Reports differed on whether she also left with the Crown Jewel belt and ring, so this article records Green as the Women’s Crown Jewel Champion.
Penta and Evans take the tag titles
Penta and Je’Von Evans beat The Vision, Bron Breakker and Austin Theory, in 14 minutes and 35 seconds to win the World Tag Team Championship. Penta hit a Mexican Destroyer on Theory and Evans followed with the OG Cutter for the pin. Bronson Reed interfered against Penta before Oba Femi appeared and threw Reed off the stage through tables.
Rhodes beats Orton in the opener
Cody Rhodes beat Randy Orton in a Last Man Standing match in 27 minutes and 20 seconds. Rhodes hit three Cross Rhodes, stopped the referee from counting, and finished Orton with a punt kick. Orton could not beat the ten count.
How the night was set up

Live reports name the venue as ANB Arena in Riyadh; WeBook listed the same building as The Venue, the name this site used before the show. Reports that place the show at Kingdom Arena are wrong.
