And just like that, Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan have etched their names in the history books. After winning their respective Crown Jewel titles at the PLE, the two superstars were bestowed on with the Crown Jewel rings, akin to that in the Super Bowl. Cody and Liv were anxiously waiting to receive the honor. Standing by their side was WWE Chief Content Officer, Triple H.

At first, Rhodes was given the honor, as he also shook hands with a Saudi Arabian official. After a brief photo session, Morgan also joined them. Earlier that evening, the real-life Gionna Daddio tamed the menace of Nia Jax to register one of her biggest wins to date.

Ringside shenanigans with Tiffany Stratton measuring for her Money in the Bank cash in only added to Jax’s woes. Liv’s new bodyguard, Raquel Rodriguez, was also making life difficult for Nia and Tiffy, who had her cash in plans derailed once again. Dominik Mysterio‘s dirty antics allowed the former Riott Squad member to pin The Irresistible Force after planting her with the oblivion.

Coming to the main event of the night, Rhodes and Gunther went the distance. They kept going for over a quarter of an hour. The ending sequence was an ode to WrestleMania 8 classic between Bret “The Hitman” Hart and “Rowdy” Roddy Piper. The Austrian caught his American counterpart while he attempted a Cody Cutter on him.

Gunther even locked Rhodes in a sleeper hold, but to no avail. Cody rolled over The Ring General to pin his shoulders to the mat for the three count. After their hellacious battle, Gunther embraced that Rhodes was the better man, and they even shook hands. With that win, Cody did the unthinkable by capturing championship gold on foreign soil—the first Rhodes to do so. 

What future do these Crown Jewel titles hold?

When Triple H first unveiled the Crown Jewel titles in a filler segment at Bad Blood, the live crowd couldn’t care less. In fact, there was a patch of boos from those in attendance with Saudi Arabian ties attached to the concept.

Nonetheless, a report from WrestleVotes had already cleared up the air on how WWE plans to use these CJ belts. It stated that the company doesn’t see it getting involved in weekly TV storylines. Also, a night before the Crown Jewel PLE, The Game addressed the local crowd at the kickoff show.

He went on to confirm that the Crown Jewel Championships will stay in Saudi Arabia. Instead, the winners will receive a ring as depicted above by Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan.
