Cody Rhodes, Liv Morgan win inaugural WWE Crown Jewel Championships

Liv Morgan and Cody Rhodes are the first-ever winners of the WWE Crown Jewel Championships.

Morgan defeated WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax today at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, thanks in large part to interference from her Judgment Day teammates.

The match’s finish saw Nia attempt to go for the Annihilator, but Dominik slid Tiffany Stratton’s MITB briefcase into the ring, distracting the referee and allowing Rodriguez to knock Jax off the turnbuckle. Morgan then hit Oblivian and got the win.

Triple H presented Morgan with the Crown Jewel Championship after the match.

Rhodes vs. Gunther headlined today’s show. The finish saw Rhodes reverse Gunther’s sleeper hold into a pinning combination, similar to Bret Hart vs. Roddy Piper at WrestleMania 8.

Triple H announced at today’s Kickoff show that the Crown Jewel Championship winners will receive a “massive ring” similar to what is awarded to champions in team sports. The title belts will remain on display in Saudi Arabia at the WWE Experience fan attraction.

“As this is an annual event, we’ll see how many rings people can collect over the years,” Levesque said.
