The 'E' in WWE stands for Entertainment, and that unique aspect of their presentation of pro wrestling is what has taken the company so far in the world of sports entertainment. It's impossible another wrestling company with as much global presence as WWE, and many of its Superstars have become household names around the world.
This success prompted the company to step into Saudi Arabia over a year back, and they continue to thrive and make an impact every time they travel overseas.
To make matters interesting, the company blends together gimmicks, storylines, in-ring action, and theatrics to make each event successful. Similarly, the company took Tyson Fury and Cain Velasquez to the Kingdom to make things more interesting for the fans and provided the Superstars with some top quality entrances to make a huge impact.
The entrances for the event were nothing short of WrestleMania-level and gave fans some great moments to look back on at the end of the year.
In this article, we will look at the 5 greatest entrances at Crown Jewel this year.
#5 Seth Rollins
The Universal Champion of the company got a fitting entrance during the main event as he walked out to once again defend his Championship against “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt.
Rollins’ entrances have always been electrifying, owing to the fact that he has a fast and hard-hitting entrance theme coupled with great graphics.
The company utilized that even better during Crown Jewel as they added a lot more depth to it and coupled it with heavy pyro-work which have been missing from the company’s regular shows. Even though the words "Burn it Down" were muted, Rollins sure walked in to burn the place down!
The entire moment set the mood for the main event that followed perfectly and gave one of WWE’s faces a feel-good moment in front of thousands of people before the end of the night.
#4 Mansoor
Local hero Mansoor was set to battle in the biggest match of his career on his home soil as he took on “The Swiss Superman” Cesaro in a one-on-one match.
Mansoor’s match was one of the most anticipated bouts of the night, and the company did not disappoint the fans with the result or with his explosive entrance.
Even though Mansoor is very new to the company, he got a hero’s welcome and to boot had some of the most spectacular pyrotechnics during the night.
This showed what the event, the Superstar, and the entire affair meant to the local fans, and the company gave them a great moment with an incredible adrenaline-pumping entrance.
#3 The Fiend
The Fiend battled in the most high-profile match of the night, and this provided him another opportunity to make a huge impact.
As the arena turned red, the fans got ready to watch one of the most unique characters the company has ever presented to the WWE Universe.
The Fiend’s entrance was not just chilling, but it also made a huge impact regarding his value to the company and how he has become a top Superstar after a change in gimmick.
The best part of the entrance were the fireflies, as the arena was lit up by the fans using their mobile phones and lighters.
WWE asked Saudi Arabia to Let. Him. In., and he left holding the most prestigious belt in the company.
#2 Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns has become one of WWE’s biggest Superstars in the United States, and arguably THE biggest Superstar internationally. Just like John Cena was at one point, Reigns has become a household name in regions such as the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa.
To ensure fans are aware of his arrival, Crown Jewel once again provided Reigns with one of the biggest possible entrances during the night. Reigns walked into a huge pop from the WWE Universe and the fireworks that followed made the entire affair look no less than a WrestleMania main event entrance.
There is no doubt that Roman Reigns deserves big entrances, due to his stature in the company. And the one at Crown Jewel certified the fact that he is still one of WWE’s biggest draws internationally amongst many new faces.
#1 Tyson Fury
Big men strive to make a big impact on the big stage, and that’s exactly what Tyson Fury did at Crown Jewel. Fury made one of the biggest impacts possible when he took to the wrestling ring for the first time in his career, as he knocked out one of WWE’s biggest men Braun Strowman to pick up a count-out victory.
While that was an impressive debut for the Boxing Heavyweight Champion, what was more impressive was his entrance during the night.
Tyson entered the arena to a huge pop and was dressed in a traditional Saudi Arabian “thawb” as he walked down the stage. The arena and its surroundings were lit by hundreds of fireworks that lit up the sky as fans cheered for the megastar who seemed more than confident for his wrestling debut.
Tyson has been known as one of the most impressive athletes and has never failed to make an impression whenever it has mattered. He did the same during his wrestling debut and managed to get a lot more fans behind him by wearing the locals’ traditional dress. This must have surely left a big impact on the hearts of the Saudi Arabian fans.
Thankfully, he did not battle wearing a thawb!
