4) Shinsuke Nakamura Retained The United States Championship
The kickoff show of Crown Jewel featured a United States Championship match. Shinsuke Nakamura defended his belt against Rusev.
The match was eventually won by Nakamura. This came after he hit a low-blow on Rusev. As a result, Nakamura is still our United States Champion
Did he go low on purpose?
Either way, @ShinsukeN is STILL your #USChampion on #WWECrownJewel Kickoff! pic.twitter.com/YVQzVCcMts

6) Crown Jewel Featured An Insane Amount Of Pyro
It is a rare thing that we get to see pyro during WWE events. The Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia featured a ton of it. Seriously, there was more pyro on this show than we will see all year.
Makes you miss pyro as a regular thing on WWE TV.
