Crown Jewel 2024: John Report Analysis - What Went Down in Riyadh?
The dust has settled in Riyadh, and the WWE Universe is still buzzing about Crown Jewel 2024! It was a night packed with huge matches, shocking moments, and enough drama to fill a whole season of "Total Divas." But was it a "holy crap, this was epic" kind of night, or more like a "meh, could've been better"? Let's break it down with a John Report analysis.
The Main Event: Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes - A Wrestlemania Rehash?
The "Tribal Chief" Roman Reigns squared off against the "American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes once again, and this time, there were no shenanigans with Sami Zayn. The build-up was tense, the match was intense, and let's be honest - everyone expected Reigns to win. It was a good match, but honestly, we've seen it before. The ending felt a bit predictable, and the crowd wasn't as amped up as they could've been. It felt like we'd seen the whole story play out in the main event of WrestleMania 39.
The Big Surprise: The Rock's Return!
Now, this is where things got interesting. Right after Reigns cemented his victory over Rhodes, the lights went down and the crowd erupted with chants of "Rocky! Rocky!" And then he appeared! The Rock's presence instantly elevated the entire show. The crowd went wild, and it was clear this was a moment everyone was waiting for. Was it a "one off" appearance, or the beginning of something bigger? Only time will tell, but it definitely made Crown Jewel 2024 memorable.
The Women's Championship Match: Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair - A Match Made in Heaven?
This wasn't just a match; it was a "holy smokes, these women are incredible" performance. Belair's power and resilience against Ripley's ruthlessness? It was electric. The crowd was completely invested, and every move felt like a game-changer. This was a match that lived up to the hype, and then some. It felt like a fresh chapter in the women's division, and honestly, it's the match everyone should be talking about.
Overall Thoughts: Crown Jewel 2024
Crown Jewel 2024 had its high points and its low points. It felt like a bit of a mixed bag, but hey, that's wrestling for you! The main event was solid, but not mind-blowing, and the Rock's return completely stole the show. The women's match was an absolute "holy cow!" moment, and it's the match that's stuck with me. Overall, it was a decent show, but it wasn't the most impactful event of the year.
But hey, what do you think? Did Crown Jewel 2024 live up to the hype? Let's discuss!
