And just like that, Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan have etched their names in the history books. After winning their respective Crown Jewel titles at the PLE, the two superstars were bestowed on with the Crown Jewel rings, akin to that in the Super Bowl. Cody and Liv were anxiously waiting to receive the honor.
Standing by their side was WWE Chief Content Officer, Triple H. At first, Rhodes was given the honor, as he also shook hands with a Saudi Arabian official. After a brief photo session, Morgan also joined them.
Earlier that evening, the real-life Gionna Daddio tamed the menace of Nia Jax to register one of her biggest wins to date. Ringside shenanigans with Tiffany Stratton measuring for her Money in the Bank cash in only added to Jax’s woes. Liv’s new bodyguard, Raquel Rodriguez, was also making life difficult for Nia and Tiffy, who had her cash in plans derailed once again.

Cody rolled over The Ring General to pin his shoulders to the mat for the three count. After their hellacious battle, Gunther embraced that Rhodes was the better man, and they even shook hands. With that win, Cody did the unthinkable by capturing championship gold on foreign soil—the first Rhodes to do so.
What future do these Crown Jewel titles hold? When Triple H first unveiled the Crown Jewel titles in a filler segment at Bad Blood, the live crowd couldn’t care less. In fact, there was a patch of boos from those in attendance with Saudi Arabian ties attached to the concept.

It stated that the company doesn’t see it getting involved in weekly TV storylines. Also, a night before the Crown Jewel PLE, The Game addressed the local crowd at the kickoff show.
Triple H says the winners of the Crown Jewel Championships will walk away with a “massive super bowl like” ring. And since it’s an annual event he says we’ll see how many rings people can collect over the years. The Championships will remain in Saudi Arabia.
