WWE Crown Jewel live results: How will Fury and Velasquez do in WWE debut?
Crown Jewel marks WWE’s fourth major show in Saudi Arabia and with a pair of unique participants set to make their WWE debut, the spectacle has grown in scale once again.
Current lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury steps into the squared circle with Braun Strowman while former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez revisits tensions with fellow former UFC champ Brock Lesnar inside a wrestling ring. Velasquez has wrestled before, but this is a true first for Fury.
Seth Rollins defends his Universal championship in a “falls count anywhere” match against Bray Wyatt that must have a winner after the debacle that was Hell in a Cell. Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan will also be present as they captain teams of 5. And, as we learned Wednesday, Lacey Evans and Natalya will perform in the WWE’s first women’s match in Saudi Arabia.
Tim Fiorvanti, Matt Wilansky and Marc Raimondi will cover the action as it happens.
Humberto Carrillo eliminated Rowan to win the Crown Jewel Battle Royal and earn a title shot against AJ Styles later in the night.
With three men left, Rowan and Harper agreed to take out Carrillo first, then set their sights on each other. As Harper lifted Carrillo over the ropes, Rowan hit Harper from behind and sent him over the ropes. Carrillo did go over the top rope, but his feet never hit the floor. He rolled back in and hit Rowan from behind to eliminate him and earn the title opportunity.
In the chaos of the final moments, R-Truth got his revenge on the Singh brothers, pinning Sunil to regain the WWE 24/7 championship.
