Back at the hotel.
Tried to post here but my wifi was bad in there.
Got there like 6:30, they had a a fanzone on the outside of the arena after ticket gates. Some funny stuff there like an inflatable Roman glove and hand doing the one sign and a see through invistible Cena mannequin with his gear. They had a board to sign to him like at Mania and all his tees and hats through the years. I'll post some of it but gah damn that place is hot. Not as hot as Dubai right now but that was warm. Lke maybe 85-90 F in here. Thank god the show was indoors. Some interesting observations, when it was prayer time at 6:40, lot of brehs went to the side of the arena and just formed a formation to pray, they dont play bout that out here, I can respect it.
They stood up and sang for their natonal anthem and then booed and sat right the fukk down for the US anthem
think i mentioned already but it was heavily Cena and Punk fans more than anyone else but Sami still runs the joint
Yo this arena was weird is fukk, they opened but its like half built, the entire section of seating across from the entrance was like some temporary scaffolding and was mad long to take like 10 flights of stairs. And the crowd would stomp there feet on these makeshift 300 rows of seats and it had your boy hoping the shyt wouldnt collapse
This was kind of a hot crowd through the night, I'l give it to these Saudis they get hype, dont know if the energy was felt on the stream.
Quick things, Cody and Randy was great live, standard match. Did notice the crowd was more for Randy than Cody and I dont know if it look like Cody worked a little heel in some places but this is the second place Ive seen him get sme boos since Mania
I was joking with the people next to me that Rhea and Raquel was not covering or censoring shyt. You had two women in dominatrix outfits who look the exact damn shyt both call Mami whipping each other with a belt and then a small asian girl also in domme catsuit join in on the fun. Son these shows are more explicit than anything in Europe. These Saudis are sprung for Rhea looool
Sami Zayn is over a fukk in Saudi yall already know. We joked about Kross taking a flatback, people in Saudi be lurking online and know the jokes lol Crowd popped in my section when he did his first bump in the ring. btw people over there really buy into that Karrion Kross is being held back shyt lol
Solo and Fatu was well a match, I feel like the bloodline is in their own universe man. Yeah nobody knew who Hikoleau was when he popped up but that was cool though.
Jade and Asuaka was a good match but this got the most silence. They funny bout my girl Jade and booed her there
The match felt good but no heat from the crowd
Atmosphere for Cena and Punk was crazy. It was weird both were sort of booed then cherred then booed on their entrances and announcements. They did a conservative well put together match that crowd was just hot for. I see some people mad online bout the ending with the interferences. It was okay with the crowd in the building. I dont get why Penta was there and everyone chanted OTC cause thought Roman was coming. This match kinda felt in person that it was teasing Cena going back as face. So yeah in person the match was good. I would say in terms of heat, it was up there with Cody and Randy. Though I have the King of the Ring final as the match to see.
Yeah I can lie brehs I wouldnt fly out here often for a Saudi show unless I had work in the region but it was alright. Traffic a bytch getting out.
Will try and post pics if I find a host site to post them from my phone
Hard Body Mahal maybe idk bout that freaky stuff
