WWE Crown Jewel in Riyadh is officially in the books, and the show was eventful for a number of reasons.
One of those reasons was the crowning of a new United States Champion, when Logan Paul defeated Rey Mysterio to capture his first championship in the company.
Elsewhere on the show, Roman Reigns defeated LA Knight in the main event to retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, while IYO SKY retained the WWE Women’s Championship against Bianca Belair.
The current state of champions on the blue brand leads to a fascinating statistic, with IYO now the only full-time champion on the brand.
Both Roman Reigns and Logan Paul appear sporadically on the show (though Paul has said he will likely need to show up more frequently after winning the title), while the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship and Women’s Tag Team Championship float across Raw and SmackDown, and NXT in the Women’s Tag Team Championship’s case.
On top of that, the current champions Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Chelsea Green and Piper Niven are all a part of the Raw roster.
Roman Reigns is currently not listed for any more appearances on WWE television for the remainder of 2023.
