* Johnson noted that “those who spoke to within WWE was really thrilled with today’s Crown Jewel PPV as the feeling was it was one of the better major shows they have produced over the last year.”
* 2020 Olympic silver medalist in Karate Tarek Hamdi, who appeared after the Mansoor vs. Ali match, was said to have “absolutely fallen in love” with how everything went down for his appearance at the PPV.
