WWE Crown Jewel 2023 boasted five different world title matchups Saturday.
But how many of those championships actually changed hands?
Well, only one. And the Superstar who emerged a new world champion might have been the most surprising of them all as Logan Paul shocked legend Rey Mysterio to become the new U.S. Champion at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
After falling victim to the 619, Paul used a pair of brass knuckles to blast Mysterio with a big right hand to claim the title.
Every other champion on the Crown Jewel 2023 card retained the title, though a few needed an assist to do so.
Roman Reigns used an assist from Bloodline member Jimmy Uso to spear LA Knight through the barricade. Another spear back in the ring and Reigns kept his Undisputed WWE Universal title around his waist.
Iyo Sky benefitted from the return of Kairi Sane to defeat Bianca Belair and retain the Women’s Championship.
Seth Rollins retained his World Heavyweight Championship with a win over Drew McIntyre, but could have lost the title to an opportunistic Damian Priest. The Judgment Day member tried to cash in his Money in the Bank contract, but Sami Zayn dashed that idea and made off with the briefcase to thwart that attempt.
Rhea Ripley dominantly outlasted Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, Raquel Rodriguez and Zoey Stark in a Fatal 5-way to keep the Women's World Championship.
