One of the biggest Premium Live Events of the year, WWE Crown Jewel was held at the Mohammed Abdu Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

But fans on the internet noticed something unusual about the crowd present at the venue.

A lackluster crowd response for Women’s Championship title defense at Crown Jewel?

Iyo Sky defended her title against Bianca Belair at the Crown Jewel. As the match was quite intense, the crowd present at the arena did not quite react in the same way. Former UFC Heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier noticed it and made a comment on it. She believed the crowd was extremely silent during the fight and could have cheered the fighters.

The mixed martial artist believed that the two could have used some cheering from the crowd. The fight which was Bianca Belair taking a shot at Iyo SKy’s title took a turn when Bayley entered to help Sky. But things took an extreme turn when Sky pushed Bayley away from her. As fans were still trying to get over that, Kairi Sane, who was brutally assaulted by Bayley in 2020 made her return to help Sky.

Even though the match was exciting, Cormier felt as if the crowd was not as good as the one from Puerto Rico during the WWE Backlash. However, this comment of hers has divided the fans. While some agree with her, some believe that she is wrong.

Fans are divided over Cormier’s comments

As she made this comment, fans flocked to the comment section to express their opinions. While some fans agreed that the crowd was quiet, one fan believed that it could not be worse than the American crowd.

A couple of fans believe that the John Cena versus Solo Sikoa match was something that has left the crowd devasted. Solo Sikoa attacked John Cena with more than 10 Samoan Spikes. After this, the Leader of the Cenation was pinned, accounting for a devastating loss.

One fan from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia totally disagreed with the UFC Heavyweight Champion. The fans said that they cheered throughout the event and were just on a small break during the match.

One fan believed that the crowd might have the volume down a bit for this match. The fan also mentioned that according to them it felt like the audience was still enjoying the fight. He also agreed to the fact that no audience could match the crowd from Peurto Rico’s Backlash.
