IC Title match and hopefully Gunther vs Orton are the 2 matches I'm looking forward to.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Cody unfortunately retains but he will though I’ve loved this short feud
Liv def Becky (more hope than anything else can’t stand Becky)
Sami to retain its too early for gable to win leave that for a main PPV singles
Gunther def Orton (I like heels winning these)
Nia Jax wins the Queen of Ring

 

[Cleavy]

Makes more sense for Lyra to win QOTR, to create a new star.

Maybe just not sure now is the time for her but could be for sure

I’m just glad as Orton and Gunther don’t seem to be the types to parade around wearing a crown and cape for the next few months.

Gunther might hahaha would be funny

Gunther could march around like an emperor with badges on his jacket.

Hope he doesn't go down that route.

It's the complete opposite of what he's about. I even hope he cuts a promo saying he's not going play dress up like the winners before him.

There's not many old school arse kicking wrestling types across the industry anymore, so I hope he doesn't become a caricature.

How is a guy who is lucky to be on tv once a month and actually wrestle once every 3 months meant to put things in order.

It’s better than Stardust at least

Dirty Dom says he's in Saudi to stop Liv winning the title, but his interference "backfires". I reckon they may be working together.
Great IC Title triple threat match, crowd was really hot for Zayn.
Fine with Nia having a heel Queen of the Ring run over Valkyria who I thought was getting pushed too quickly.
Orton vs Gunther was good, but Orton's shoulder looked up right in front of the ref. Happy with Gunther winning.

realistically Nia vs Bayley is the bigger match; plus they've raised Lyra's stock to introduce her to the main roster so her time will come. Also probably don't need both monarchs on the same brand.

 

[Ry009]

Not fan of Sami getting booked like Cena mid 2000's, also hope this doesn't have Chad into a long program with Otis. Great match though, apart from the clothesline spot which was stretched out way too long.

Gunther and Randy good too, although I wasn't a fan of the finish. Would have given him the clean win.

Booked as good as you could for the rest but the overall event was ok.

Just starting now.

Interesting how Michael Cole mentioned the 'night-life' of the city during the introduction, in a country where alcohol is prohibited.

What the hell does a city's night-life offer without a place for a drink or two?

 

[NSWCROW]

Logan to Cole - " I'll take your head off, i WILL decapitate you !!! "


Oh well, when in Rome...

 

[NSWCROW]

How good was that 360 shot with Logan on the top turnbuckle !

could be wrong, but I read you can drink in hotels.

The Fed more transparent than the AFL re bad officiating.

The two globally-focused cities (Jedda, Riyadh) have "zones" where alcohol is permitted (and they absolutely fleece you for it.) Similar in the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain etc.

Outside of grog, they're a society of moneyed up 25-50 year olds. They love the high life as much as anyone else.
