More about which side Paul Heyman would take than anything else, this was at least better than the low bar the two had set with their 2018 series though fell some way short of the drama they were able to stir when they first fought in 2018.

A proper Saudi Arabia main event as the sportswashing project returned with a force post-pandemic, they did at least lob bombs at one another before the Heyman lore kicked in and the two had to no-sell the play happening during their match.

Not the worst battle between the two, it also was far from the best, and a prop beyond the Universal Title belt proved to be the key during a Last Man Standing match roughly 10 months later.
