The WWE returns stateside after a successful trip to Saudi Arabia. Saturday's sven-match Crown Jewel PLE was probably the best event in the series, as the kingdom appears to have insisted on a full slate of WWE superstars, with the brand not only complying, but creating two new championships along the way. The men's and women's Crown Jewel championship belts may have stayed behind, but the red and blue brands each took home one of the inaugural championship rings.

For Monday Night Raw, Liv Morgan's defeat of Smackdown's Nia Jax gave her additional backing to her claim of being the best women's world champ of all time. And Cody Rhodes' defeat of Raw's Heavyweight champion Gunther added another impressive notch on the belt of the fighting champion. Those were just two of the matches however, and the fallout from the opening match will headline things on Friday's episode.



Roman Reigns, Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso, working together for the first time in a long time, lost as Reigns was pinned by Solo Sikoa and The New Bloodline. In the end, Sami Zayn emerged to save his buddy Jey Uso from a neck-in-chair assault, but he ended up delivering a Helluva kick to Reigns. Jimmy Uso and Zayn had a confrontation on Raw, leading Jey to proclaim Sami Uso is family and to invite him to SmackDown to talk it out with Reigns.

Other fallout will include the US Heavyweight champion LA Knight's double BFT victory over Andrade and Carmelo Hayes , Tiffany Stratton almost (again) cashing in the Money in the Bank briefcase on Jax , Kevin Owens and Randy Orton's match never getting underway because they brawled outside the ring, and what is next for Rhodes after beating Gunther .
