Crown Jewel aired live from Saudi Arabia on Saturday, and Seth Rollins put his WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Drew McIntyre in the opening match.
Both men fought hard, but Rollins finally managed to put McIntyre away with a Pedigree followed immediately by the Stomp. After the match Drew McIntyre walked up the ramp while Seth Rollins looked exhausted in the ring.
As Seth was trying to catch his breath Damian Priest made his way down to the ring with his Money in the Bank briefcase. Priest was getting ready to cash in, but a hooded man appeared out of nowhere and attacked him. The person removed the hood and it was revealed to be none other than Sami Zayn.
Sami stole the Money in the Bank briefcase then exited through the crowd. Damian Priest tried to chase Sami Zayn down as Seth Rollins laughed inside the ring. After the segment ended cameras showed Drew McIntyre backstage seething. Rhea Ripley walked up to him and said nothing before walking away.
