10 Best WWE Matches Held In Saudi Arabia So Far

10. Cedric Alexander vs Kalisto (Greatest Royal Rumble)

As WWE approached their first show with the Saudis, fans were skeptical - it came at a time when WWE were reeling off of the Wrestlemania Women's Battle Royale naming controversy, and it didn't seem like their PR team would be able to withstand another hit. This show needed to be good, and it needed to please the right people. This was the perfect match to open with.

As expected of the two performers, they did a great job of firing up the crowd, pulling out their entire arsenals and making the WWE's first match in Saudi Arabia a success. The match was a whirlwind of counters, dives and some excellent selling from Alexander to make both men look like credible competitors for the Cruiserweight title. The pacing was perfect too, as both men managed to squeeze in just the right amount of offence for a 10 minute bout to warm the crowd up.

In short, it was some good flippy sh*t to kick off WWE's first Saudi show - it's a shame the rest of the card chose to imitate the match's insignificance rather than it's level of in-ring work.
