WWE Crown Jewel 2024 Review: The John Report
It's that time again, folks! WWE's annual trip to Saudi Arabia, Crown Jewel, is in the books. And let me tell you, this year's event was a rollercoaster of emotions, with some real surprises, some head-scratching moments, and a whole lotta fireworks. Let's dive in!
The Good, the Bad, and the Head-Scratching
First off, the main event was a real banger. Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre went toe-to-toe in a hard-hitting match that had the whole stadium on its feet. Roman managed to retain his title, but not without a serious fight from Drew. The crowd was electric for this one, and it was a definite highlight of the night.
Now, let's talk about the head-scratcher of the night. The tag team match featuring The Usos and The New Day was... well, let's just say it was a bit underwhelming. I was hoping for a knock-your-socks-off brawl, but instead, we got a pretty standard tag team match. It felt like a missed opportunity to me.
But hey, not everything was bad! The women's championship match was a real treat. Rhea Ripley and Asuka went back and forth like a couple of badasses and the crowd was hyped for every move. Rhea walked out with the win, but Asuka put up a hell of a fight. This was a must-see for any wrestling fan.
Overall Thoughts
Overall, Crown Jewel 2024 was a mixed bag. We had some awesome moments, some forgettable ones, and some that just left me scratching my head. But hey, that's pro wrestling for ya. It's not always perfect, but it's always entertaining. I'm sure there will be plenty to talk about in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.
Final Verdict
3 out of 5 stars. A solid show with some real highlights, but also some missed opportunities. If you're a hardcore wrestling fan, it's worth checking out, but it's not a must-see like some of the other big events.
