It seems WWE personnel are quite happy with how Crown Jewel 2021 turned out.
Held in Saudi Arabia, the pay-per-view was stacked from top to bottom. WWE went out of its way to build it up as a must-see event.
As per a report by PWInsider, WWE's top brass believes Crown Jewel was one of the better top shows the promotion has presented over the past year or so. The event garnered a positive response from most fans on social media also.
WWE's past shows in Saudi Arabia haven't been anything to brag about and were even criticized on social media. Things have certainly improved this time, and people backstage are thrilled.
WWE Crown Jewel was a breath of fresh air
WWE presented its first Saudi Arabia show in 2018, dubbed the "Greatest Royal Rumble." The promotion has produced six major shows in Saudi Arabia since then.
Many fans regard Crown Jewel 2018 as the worst pay-per-view of the modern era. DX vs The Brothers of Destruction headlined the show, but even Shawn Michaels' huge return couldn't save it.
Many questionable decisions followed in subsequent shows. Fans heavily criticized Goldberg vs. The Undertaker at Super ShowDown 2019. WWE was bashed for putting the duo at risk for the sake of booking a dream match.
At Super ShowDown 2020, Goldberg defeated The Fiend in a matter of minutes to become Universal Champion. This was another booking decision that didn't sit well with fans.
However, Crown Jewel 2021 has left fans pleased and wanting more. Edge and Seth Rollins' Hell In A Cell outing received major praise. Xavier Woods' King of the Ring was a genuine feel-good moment. The main event didn't disappoint either, and fans are excited to see the next chapter of the Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns saga.
