What people are saying
Updated nightlyThis 2026 Saudi event, headlined by Cody Rhodes defending his title against Sami Zayn and Gunther, gets a lukewarm mixed reception. The tournament finals and matches like IYO SKY's title defense earn praise, but the main event triple threat lands flat, with Cody Rhodes's win and Gunther's role drawing outright negativity. Jey Uso's performance is also singled out as a weak point. Sami Zayn is the highlight, with his effort in the big match being the one thing most people agree worked.
