WWE Crown Jewel 2023: Results and video highlights

We're back in Saudi Arabia for our next WWE pay-per-view/PLE... and in the old days Crown Jewel meant controversy, a house-show match card and a load of old timers.

In 2023, there's even a couple of women's matches (albeit in modified ring gear) at these shows, and the lesser-seen Roman Reigns defending his strap.

The Big Dog/Tribal Chief/Head of the Table went up against everyone's flavour of the moment LA Knight in the main event, but the whole card was packed with talent and intrigue, including a YouTuber/Influencer-turned-sports-entertainer going for WWE gold.
