When Tiffany Stratton cashed in her Money in the Bank contract to defeat Chelsea Green for the women’s championship just one match before, it made me wonder if WWE wouldn’t want to go ahead with Penta cashing in on Roman Reigns or Sami Zayn in the main event at today’s (Sat., Nov. 7, 2026) Crown Jewel premium live event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He also won the world tag team titles
earlier in the same show.Sure enough, we didn’t get a Penta appearance to the close the show.
Surprisingly, we didn’t
get an appearance from anyone other than the two competitors in the ring. Reigns and Zayn went back-and-forth in what was a competitive match. Sure, it featured the standard referee bump in a Reigns match, with his opponent getting a visual pinfall.
But it ended the way so many Reigns singles matches do — with The Tribal Chief on top, scoring a pinfall victory.
After, before Triple H could present Reigns with the Crown Jewel championship belt and ring, Zayn demanded the OTC shake his hand to acknowledge that he has earned his respect. He gave Roman everything he had, and Reigns did the same in return, and the winner was the winner but the respect was earned, not given.
Reigns pushed his hand away and instead gave him a big hug, telling him “you’re not honorary, you’re an Uso.”
“Make them respect you,” he told Zayn as Sami made his exit.
Triple H then presented Reigns with his new title, ring, and even the Ula Fala.
All he said when given the mic was for The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to acknowledge him.
Michael Cole wondered who is next.
Well?
