Erick Rowan had quite a rough night as part of the kick-off show in the Middle East
The Crown Jewel kickoff show featured a 20-man Battle Royal, from which the winner was given the chance to challenge for the United States Championship later in the show. There were many dark horses in the match including the likes of Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Buddy Murphy, Andrade, and Humberto Carrillo.

Interestingly, the final four contenders were Harper, Rowan, Carrillo and Cedric Alexander which was when it then became clear that the push that the former 205 Live star had been part of in recent weeks would now continue in the Middle East.
The 24/7 Championship changed hands just minutes before the end of this match when R-Truth pinned Sunil Singh, which allowed Carrillo to take advantage and brought the match down to just himself and Erick Rowan.

It appears that the former Wyatt Family member really didn't want to exit the ring and relinquish his chance to fight for the United States Championship since he was caught in the ropes and Carrillo was forced to come over and ensure that the big man was eliminated.
