Those robes WWE had made for both the King Of The Ring and Queen's Crown tournaments decided to rebel big time at Crown Jewel. Zelina Vega was the first victim - she couldn't fasten the cape, so just stuck it over her shoulder instead when putting on the crown.

Xavier Woods couldn't get the cursed thing to work for him as well following a win over Finn Bálor. He made a joke out of it though. Meanwhile, Zelina had the look of someone who wanted to add 'those f*cking robes' to 'children and animals' as things performers should never work with.

How long is this going to go on for?

It's a running joke, and more than a bit ridiculous, that WWE repeatedly give Goldberg's .PNG cutout the Just For Men treatment on match graphics. Then, fans clap eyes on the wizened WCW stalwart to see that he's rocking the grey.

Let the man age gracefully, for crying out loud. It's silly to pretend that he has any brown in that goatee at all these days. It's time for those graphics dudes to retire that '...for moustache and beard' ad they're so fond of sooner rather than later.
