10 WWE In Saudi Arabia Moments That Were Actually Good

9. Tyson Fury's Entrance

Tyson Fury's Crown Jewel match with Braun Strowman was dog turd and that's on the nicer end of ways to describe it. Fury was severely limited in the ring because he, you know, isn't a wrestler and the match ended with a flat countout victory for the boxing icon. Which is shame, because it all started so promisingly.

Fury made his first WWE ring entrance in spectacular style. Dressed in a traditional thwab with a matching keffiyeh around his head, Fury made his way down to the ring to the sound of The Isley Brothers' classic soul hit, "It's Your Thing". Licensed music is a rarity in WWE these days (who are they, AEW?) so to hear a recognisable piece of music was a real treat - especially one as good as this.

As the two-time heavyweight champ waved to the crowd, a huge fireworks display went off behind him. It was truly spectacular, especially considering how much WWE have toned down their pyrotechnics in recent years. In short, it was the entrance of a mega star. Tyson Fury may not have ended his match in Saudi Arabia in glorious fashion, but at least the beginning was good.
