The Saudi official Al Shaikh took over from them, addressing the audience and superstars in the native language. Involved in this press conference were Bianca Belair, Bayley, Asuka, Alexa Bliss, Dakota Kai, IYO SKY, Braun Strowman, Omos, Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman, The Bloodline, Logan Paul and his brother Jake Paul.
All the female competitors were seated and exchanged words over the mic telling their opponents what they will do to each other. Damage CTRL told Asuka and Alexa that they will take back their Women’s tag team titles tomorrow. They then came face to face for the camera. The RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair also came face to face with her challenger Bayley and exchanged some last words.
The side plates still say #DamageCTRL… 👀

Then came the time for the colossal collision between The Monster Of All Monsters Braun Strowman and The Nigerian Giant Omos. Michael Cole introduced the segment as a weigh in and out came Omos. He covered Cole’s face with his giant hand to show how big he really is. Then, Strowman arrived to the crowd’s cheers as they were booing the Nigerian. Omos got up on the scale and weighed in at 416 pounds whereas Strowman weighed at 335 pounds. They then faced off each other with Strowman funnily planting his face on Omos’ chest before pushing him away. It could have been a mess but Triple H stepped in.

Then it was time for the final show off of the night. Michael Cole took the mic as he was interrupted by Paul Heyman who then introduced Roman Reigns in his trademark style to a cheering crowd. The Tribal Chief arrived and signaled the crowd to calm down. Next his opponent for Crown Jewel, Logan Paul made a grand entry riding a camel to the conference.

Both of them dissed each other but Logan had an ace up his sleeve. He told everyone he has back up and excitedly brought out his own bloodline, his brother Jake Paul.

Roman seemed distressed looking at the Paul brothers. Jake told Roman that his brother will beat him like he beat Anderson Silva last week. Roman’s Bloodline members The Usos and Solo Sikoa arrived for a bit to stand beside Reigns. Paul and Reigns then squared off for the cameras. The crowd was chanting “We Want Sami” but the Bloodline leader told them “After how you’ve behaved tonight, you don’t deserve Sami” as they left. Sami won’t be there because of political issues.
That was the end of the press conference.
