WWE is always looking to ensure they make each and every Premium Live Event worthwhile in some way, as the company’s hot streak when it comes to their events isn’t ending anytime soon. Crown Jewel was the company’s latest event, but now it seems the event has been dismissed for being a glorified house show.
Ringside News provided full coverage of WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia and so far, it has featured a good few matches and memorable moments throughout the night. This included the main event which saw Roman Reigns defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against LA Knight.
The show also featured Kairi Sane’s return, which was a huge deal for many. while speaking on Busted Open Radio, Bully Ray talked about the Crown Jewel Premium Live Event. He called the event a glorified house show and fans weren’t going to get a lot out of the event.
“I thought it was a good show. When it comes to Crown Jewel, you have to understand what it is — it is a glorified live event, a glorified house show. You’re only gonna get so much,” said the Hall of Famer. “The main event — everybody was talking about LA Knight and Roman Reigns, ‘[People saying] LA Knight’s going to win, LA Knight’s going to win.’ C’mon, folks. If you really look at this the correct way, there’s no way in hell WWE was going to put the championship on LA Knight.”
Survivor Series is the next Premium Live Event, which will be taking place on November 25th, so we’ll have ot wait and see how WWE will continue to build towards the show, as it could feature many major surprises – especially CM Punk’s possible WWE return.
