The WWE Crown Jewel took off despite the ominous circumstances surrounding. The event saw the return of Hulk Hogan as the host while The Bar retained their title over the New Day.
The inaugural WWE World Cup saw The Miz and Dolph Ziggler make it to the finals after a series of short matches. The bizarre action followed in the final as The A-lister forged an injury which led SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon to get replaced in the match and win the whole thing.
Meanwhile, The Beast Incarnate reclaimed the Universal Title yet again with a victory over Braun Strowman, who barely got any sort of offence. Finally, the main event was capped off with a victory for the DX, but the win came at a cost as Triple H suffered a torn pectoral muscle which will require surgery.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the event.

So, I missed the 2nd half of #CrownJewel but my brother described it as "the worst ppv ive seen in the past 5 years"
Would that be accurate?

Wow #CrownJewel was horrid even by 2018’s standards, which are very low to begin with. They would’ve been better off just calling that show Friday afternoon RAW. Yuck!
