Enjoyed that they could have had RR win without the belt a strong spear would have done it.

Missed the early matches but Drew Big E was a Stormer, as a tag team they would be epic

Decent PPV.

HIAC was the best match by a distance.

Becky seems to be popular over there. Looked like Sasha was late for that pin to bridge then got confused so went for the flip.

For a second I thought they were going to stop another HiaC match when Rollins was attacking Edge's head/neck and going with the chain and all.

I expect we'll have proper presentations for the King and Queen on Smackdown and Raw.

Kind of surprised they had a female referee for the men's matches. Assumed women weren't allowed to have a position of authority over men.

Now will they be allowed to leave Saudi Arabia this time? And hope for their sake the Smackdown guys don't have to do more than show up and talk tomorrow as I'd say they'll be wrecked.

Decent PPV

Not a fan of Finn losing

Another Saudi event with no title changes. They've had something like 2 in 7 shows now? 7 shows with stacked cards on paper and tons of title defences at that. Pretty soon the Saudis are going to realise they're paying all this money for hyped up, televised house shows.

The saudis are not paying for title changes or do they care about the WWE at all the are paying to sports wash their nation to the western world so they are not talking about the murder and beheading of journalists or the human rights abuses they commit on a daily bases or the genocide the are committing in the Yemen or the atrocities they carry out on women and those of the LGBQT community in their own nation.

Sports washing works.

Finn is a jobber to the stars now. And even woods who isn’t a star on his own.

I take it there was no problem getting out of the country this time? Or no problems there at all?

I didn’t hear of any this time. Id say that’s why the made the roster changes not come into effect until after the ppv yesterday so they have a crew in the US.

I didn’t watch the PPV and haven’t since the initial Saudi show and I’ve only seen the woman's matches on the ones since so I’ll watch two matches.

Coincidentally enough, I watch the new series of The Equalizer and the latest episode was about Saudis and what can happen to those who speak out or are LGBTQ.

Yeah I hear ya. At the end of the day it's the Brits and Americans selling them all the weapons so they aren't much better regardless of imagined moral superiority. Money talks and bullsh1t walks sadly. And these house shows cost a fookin fortune.
