4) All Hail King Woods! - WWE Crown Jewel 2021

Many fans came into WWE Crown Jewel 2021 wanting to see Xavier Woods realize a boyhood dream. For WWE superstars, many have talked about always wanting to be WWE Champion. However, Xavier Woods always wanted to be the King of the Ring. His online campaign is viewed as one of the key reasons why there was a tournament again this year.

The King of the Ring Finals saw Xavier Woods and Finn Balor have a fun bout that told a nice underdog story. Balor was a favorite with his various singles achievements across all three brands, while Woods was a tag team specialist who had yet to gain any singles opportunities for the most part. The New Day member hit the Limit Breaker to beat Balor and win the King of the Ring.

This provided WWE Crown Jewel 2021 with a wonderful babyface moment. He achieved his dream in a good encounter that elevated him in the eyes of the WWE Universe. Balor didn't lose much, but Woods gained plenty of credibility here. King Woods should be entertaining and could possibly lead to more opportunities for him.


3) Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks vs. Bianca Belair symbolizes a change for women's wrestling in Saudi Arabia - WWE Crown Jewel 2021

The previous Saudi Arabia event had just one short female bout. Meanwhile, WWE Crown Jewel 2021 featured two women's contests for the first time, including arguably the biggest to ever take place in the country. Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks, and Bianca Belair are three of the top stars in the company. Their Triple Threat Match had a big fight feel coming in.

They packed in a lot of action and made the fans believe any of the three had the chance to win. The finish saw Bianca Belair deliver the KOD to Becky Lynch, but Sasha Banks threw Belair to the outside. When Sasha went for the cover, Becky rolled her up and grabbed the ropes for extra leverage to win and retain the SmackDown Women's Championship.

The three women not only delivered one of the best matches on the Crown Jewel 2021 card, but they also symbolized a change in the view of women's wrestling in Saudi Arabia. In a country that is still lacking in female equality, this should be an important contest that shows what women are capable of.
