– The opening signature hits and then we see some live shots of WWE Superstars arriving to the Jeddah Super Dome. From there, we shoot into the cold open video package for today's highly-anticipated premium live event.

After the cold open wraps up, we see some more live shots of WWE Superstars arriving to the building. We then get our first look inside the Jeddah Super Dome as Michael Cole welcomes us to the show. We settle down at the pre-show panel where Cole introduces Corey Graves, Big E. and Wade Barrett. The crowd is going bonkers in the background during this.

We hear the four talk about the significance of today's show, with multiple titles on-the-line, as well as the finals of the King of the Ring and Queen of the Ring tournaments, where the winners move on to challenge for world titles at WWE SummerSlam later this year.

As the wild fans in the background break out into a loud "Michael Cole!" chant, the pre-show panelists send us over to Byron Saxton, who is standing outside of the locker room of "The Ring General" GUNTHER. We hear the fans chanting "We Want Mania!" as Saxton tries to build up the KOTR finals.

Saxton sends us over to Kayla Braxton, who is standing outside of Randy Orton's locker room. She talks about the condition of Orton's knee as fans in the arena drown her out with "Triple H!" chants. They might need to mute the crowd when doing these live hits backstage.

The panelists take back over and run down the lineup for tonight's show as the official match graphics flash across the screen. Again fans drown this out with chants and it finally sounds like someone in the production truck turned the levels down or muted them inside the arena as they finish up the lineup.

Now we shift gears and settle into our first of several in-depth video pieces. This one features Corey Graves sitting down with Cody Rhodes earlier this week. They talk about "The American Nightmare" finally "finishing the story" by capturing the WWE Universal Championship from Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL. They talk about his defense tonight against Logan Paul.

The package wraps up and the panelists weigh in with their thoughts on Cody's job as champ and face of WWE thus far. We then send things back to Byron Saxton again, as he is standing by with WWE Women's Tag-Team Champions Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill. Belair says her knee isn't 100% but she's ready to go.

A video package for the Queen of the Ring finals showdown between Nia Jax and Lyra Valkyria airs next. The first focuses on Jax's run through the SmackDown side of the tourney. We then take a look at Valkyria's run through the Raw side of things. The panelists give their thoughts on the bout and we move on.

From there, we shift to Byron Saxton, who is standing by with WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque. The WWE CCO goes through some of the bigger matches on the card and explains the significance of them and why they are important. He closes by putting over the KOTR and QOTR winners earning title shots at SummerSlam.

We see Sami Zayn's arrival to the building, and joining him is Kevin Owens. Shots of his opponents, "Big" Bronson Reed and Chad Gable, who has Otis with him, are also shown. An in-depth video package airs to hype the Intercontinental title three-way with Zayn defending against Reed and Gable. From there, we return to the panelists for their thoughts on the bout.

After a commercial break, we shoot to a promotional video package and then we head back to the panel, where Kevin Owens and Kayla Braxton have taken over for Michael Cole and Corey Graves, who are likely preparing to call the show at ringside. We head to part two of the Cody Rhodes sit-down interview with Graves. Cody says bluntly that Logan doesn't stand a chance.

Back to the panelists, where they talk about what Cody just said. Owens is candid in agreeing with Cody that while Logan is better already than he has any right to be, he doesn't stand a chance of leaving here with the Universal title. Owens talks about how awful PRIME is. Don't they sponsor this show? Yikes!

We shoot to Byron Saxton for an interview with Liv Morgan, who talks about her title shot against Becky Lynch. As she continues talking, Dominik Mysterio walks into the shot. Liv asks what he's doing here. Dom says he flew around the world to make sure she doesn't get her hands on Mami Rhea Ripley's title.

We return to the panel where Barrett, Owens, Big E. and Braxton weigh-in with their thoughts on the scheduled WWE Women's World Championship for today. We then head into another commercial break, as we draw closer to our scheduled women's tag-team title bout here on the "Countdown to WWE King And Queen of the Ring" pre-show.

We see an extensive video package narrated by Michael Cole to highlight the significance of the King of the Ring in the rise of arguably the biggest WWE box office success of all-time, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. The panelists, Kevin Owens in particular, talk about what ole' "Stone Cold" meant to them.

We then shoot into an elaborate look at the build up to tonight's King of the Ring tournament final. After this, much like earlier in the pre-show, we see individual packages looking at the recent rise of GUNTHER and Randy Orton. The panelists then give their thoughts on the big KOTR showdown between "The Ring General" and "The Viper" later today.

After Kayla Braxton's pre-recorded walk-and-talk with Randy Orton wraps up, we shoot to ringside inside the Jeddah Super Dome for the first time today, as Michael Cole and Corey Graves welcome us to the show. The theme for Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell hits and out they come for our first match of the show. They settle in the ring and their music dies down.

WWE Women's Tag-Team Championships: Jade Cargill & Bianca Belair (C) vs. Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell

The lights go out and then the theme for Jade Cargill hits. Out she comes by herself with one of the WWE Women's Tag-Team Championships around her waist. She makes it all the way down to the ring and poses in the corners of the ring before the tune dies down and the theme for her partner, Bianca Belair hits. "The EST of WWE" makes her way out next.

We hear the bell and off we go. Cargill and Hartwell begin the action. The bell rings and the two lock up. Hartwell runs the ropes, but Cargill intercepts her and delivers a Fallaway Slam. Cargill lands a shoulder tackle, then tags in Belair. Cargill delivers a bodyslam, then sends Belair crashing on top of Hartwell.

LeRae tags in and Belair catches her with a gutbuster. She fires off shoulders on LeRae's midsection in the corner before Hartwell tags back in and lands a stomp on her. Hartwell then begins to wear down Belair's injured knee from last night's edition of "SmackDown" and mocks her, then stomps on her knee and sends it crashing into the ropes. LeRae tags in and drives Belair's knee crashing into the mat.

Hartwell tags in and continues wearing Belair down, then tags LeRae back in. LeRae sends Belair's knee bouncing off the mat, then locks in a Half Boston Crab. Hartwell tags in and knocks Cargill off the apron with a back elbow, then mocks Belair once again and delivers a kick to her face. Belair makes the hot tag to Cargill, adn she lands a pump kick on Hartwell. She then levels LeRae with a spinebuster, then lands a splash to her in the corner and does the same to Hartwell in the opposite corner. She lands a second splash on LeRae, then stacks LeRae on top of Hartwell and delivers a splash to both of them. She then lands a sit-out powerbomb on LeRae.

Hartwell delivers an uppercut to Cargill, then tags in LeRae. Hartwell delivers a boot to her face, then double teams on her with LeRae. LeRae and Belair become legal, and Belair executes a chop block to LeRae. Belair and Cargill then deliver a DDT-assisted German suplex combination to LeRae, and Belair pins LeRae for the win.

Winners and STILL WWE Women's Tag-Team Champions: Jade Cargill & Bianca Belair

– We go backstage where Byron Saxton is standing by with WWE United States Champion Logan Paul. He is told about Cody's comments about how he stands no chance of leaving with his Universal title or winning today. Logan rants about being a YouTube kid who has made his way to the top of WWE after fighting Floyd Mayweather in boxing.

He says he's fought for titles three times in Saudi Arabia already and last time, left with a belt. He says tonight he leaves with two. A video package for our main event airs after this wraps up. The panelists give their thoughts on the bout and then we see a live shot of Becky Lynch walking the halls backstage. It looks like the women's world title is going to kick things off. The pre-show ends.

– The "WWE Then. Now. Forever. Together." opening signature airs again and then we see a live shot of Jeddah as Michael Cole talks about The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as the camera settles inside the Jeddah Super Dome. We then see the cold open video package and arrival shots for various Superstars, so the WWE executives backstage know who's getting cheered and booed today.

WWE Women's World Championship Match: Becky Lynch (C) vs. Liv Morgan

Inside the Jeddah Super Dome, we hear the sounds of Becky Lynch's theme song and out comes the reigning WWE Women's World Champion for her latest title defense. She settles in the ring to a huge pop and her music dies down. The entrance tune for her opponent Liv Morgan hits as she makes her way out to continue her "Liv Morgan Revenge Tour."

Corey Graves complains about the heat inside the Jeddah Super Dome as the ring announcer handles the final formal pre-match ring introductions for this title contest, which is our second championship bout of the day so far. The bell sounds and we're officially off-and-running with our opening contest here on the PLE portion of today's big event. The crowd is a hot one, as you'd expect.

Lynch is favored early on with loud "Becky" chants, which Liv acknowledges. The two get into a big shoving match before the referee steps between them.

– After a commercial break, we shoot into the elaborate pre-match video package to tell the story leading up to our second PLE match of the day, which features the WWE Intercontinental Championship on-the-line in a triple-threat match, with Sami Zayn vs. Chad Gable vs. "Big" Bronson Reed.

WWE Intercontinental Championship Match: Sami Zayn (C) vs. Chad Gable vs. Bronson Reed

When it wraps up, the transition of Chad Gable into the modern Kurt Angle of WWE continues, as the decorated amateur wrestler emerges with fans chanting "You suck!" to the tune of his entrance music. Otis comes down to the ring with him. He settles in the ring and the "You suck!" chants grow. Out next is "Big" Bronson Reed. A special video airs and then Sami Zayn makes his way out to an insanely loud reaction.

We hear the final formal pre-match ring introductions and then the bell sounds to get this one officially off-and-running. Thunderous "Ole! Ole!" chants spread throughout the Jeddah Super Dome as Zayn overcomes an early dominant start by Reed. He gets Chad Gable in the corner and climbs up him for the ten-punch spot as the crowd counts along. We see Zayn go for a Blue Thunder Bomb, but he can't lift Reed.

2024 WWE Queen Of The Ring Finals: Nia Jax vs. Lyra Valkyria

The theme for Nia Jax hits and out comes our first of two competitors for our 2024 WWE Queen of the Ring tournament finals. She settles into the ring to a ton of heat. Cole reads comments from Zelina Vega about a new queen being crowned today. Nia's entrance tune dies down and then the music for her opponent plays. Out comes Lyra Valkyria with giant bird wings as part of her entrance ring attire.

We hear the bell and this one gets off-and-running. Lyra tries using her speed coming out of the gate, but Nia nullifies that with her power, launching her across the ring whenever she gets her hands on her. Lyra hops on Nia's back so Nia slams her back-first into the corner. The two fight out to the floor where Nia slams Lyra back-first into the ring apron. Back in the ring, Lyra hits a drop kick and goes for a tornado DDT, only for Nia to throw her off.

Again we see Lyra jump on Nia's back for a sleeper hold attempt. This time, Nia flips her over her head and slams her into the mat. From there, Nia begins to settle into a prolonged offensive lead. She lands a big elbow drop for a two-count. We see Lyra start to fight back, landing an assortment of kicks. In the end, however, she hits the ropes and runs into a Samoan Drop from Jax.

She says all she knows is as former champion, she has a rematch clause in her contract and on Monday's Raw, she's getting her title back.

– We shoot to the pre-match video package for our next bout, which is the finals of the 2024 WWE King Of The Ring tournament, with GUNTHER taking on Randy Orton. Back live, we see Tiffany Stratton and Carmelo Hayes sitting in the crowd. The lights go down and then the Imperium theme hits and out comes "The Ring General."

2024 WWE King Of The Ring Finals: Randy Orton vs. GUNTHER

The theme for Randy Orton hits next and the Jeddah crowd goes absolutely bonkers. "The Viper" emerges to the fans incredibly loudly singing along with the "Voices in my head" chorus to his entrance tune. Orton takes his super sweet ass time getting to the ring to milk the crowd reaction. The theme plays maybe 5-8 times over and over, with the crowd singing the chorus at the top of their lungs each time.

After Orton finally settles into the ring after what will no doubt go down in history as one of the longest ring entrances of all-time, the bell sounds to start this one off. For some reason fans loudly chant "Ole! Ole!" before the two even touch. They do touch, and the fight is on now to find out who is leaving with the crown and the guaranteed title shot at WWE SummerSlam 2024 later this year.

These two are incredibly slow to start, as insanely, France-level loud pops and chants keep spreading, such as "This is Awesome," "RKO" and more "Ole! Ole!" chants. Graves and Cole acknowledge on the broadcast that something has changed inside the Jeddah Super Dome in the last few minutes in terms of the energy in the building. Something special is definitely happening with this crowd as this one gets going.

GUNTHER lands his first chop to Orton in the corner, and it's clear to see by the look on Orton's face that he felt that one. GUNTHER blasts him with another. He goes for a third but Orton blocks it and drills "The Ring General" with repeated right hands. GUNTHER answers back with a shot to the jaw that drops Orton to one knee. Orton looks at his chest and then unloads on GUNTHER in the corner.

"The Ring General" takes over from there, targeting the lower back of "The Viper." He grounds him and stomps away and then settles into a prolonged offensive run as the crowd beings a berzerk-level show of support in an attempt to rally behind Orton. We see a close-up shot of the bruises on Orton's chest from the chops as GUNTHER continues to punish the future WWE Hall of Fame legend.

Orton hits an RKO out of nowhere, but GUNTHER rolls out to the floor so Orton can't follow-up with a pin attempt. Orton rolls out to the floor and hoists GUNTHER up and dumps him on the commentary desk. And again. GUNTHER runs Orton back-first into the ring apron. Orton fights back and again hoists GUNTHER up and dumps him on the commentary desk.

GUNTHER hits a drop kick to the bad knee of Orton as he was re-entering the ring. GUNTHER slaps a single leg Boston crab on Orton, who slowly makes it to the ropes. GUNTHER slaps it on again and again Orton gets out. He hits another RKO out of nowhere, but this time he goes directly into the cover. GUNTHER kicks out at two and goes right back to the bad knee of Orton and quickly rolls him up for the win out of nowhere.

Winner and 2024 WWE King Of The Ring: GUNTHER

– Kayla Braxton interviews Paul "Triple H" Levesque backstage and he announces that Drew McIntyre has been medically cleared and Damian Priest is a man of his word and has agreed to defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against him at the upcoming WWE Clash At The Castle: Scotland premium live event in Glasgow, Scotland on June 15, 2024.

WWE Universal Championship Match: Cody Rhodes (C) vs. Logan Paul

The theme for Logan Paul hits and out comes the WWE United States Champion for our final match of the evening. As he settles inside the squared circle for his WWE Universal Championship opportunity, Michael Cole and Corey Graves bring everyone up to speed on the brass knuckles promise Paul made, and how that played out on last night's "go-home" episode of SmackDown.

Cody Rhodes' theme hits next and out comes WWE Universal Champion for his latest title defense, as the crowd loudly sings along with his catchy-ass entrance tune. Fireworks explodes as "The American Nightmare" makes it to ringside. He hops on the ring barricade and stands tall with his arms out-stretched as the Jeddah crowd goes crazy.

Ibrahim Al Hajjaj is in the ring and he handles the final formal pre-match ring introductions for the challenger and the champion, and then the bell sounds to get this one officially off-and-running. The two lock up and Cody pushes Logan into the corner, where the referee gives him a clean break. Fans chant "Cody! Cody!" as he stares down Logan waiting to re-engage.

They do re-engage and it is again Cody who controls the early lead. We see Logan fight back and slap Cody and call him a "b*tch." He then hits a tarantula submission before Cody escapes and the action spills out to the floor. Once on the floor, Logan gets brass knuckles from a friend in the crowd after bouncing a PRIME bottle off of Cody's dome.

He uses them and Michael Cole loses his mind on commentary. Corey Graves ends up popping up to hold Logan back from doing anything to him. Cody flies off the ring to Logan on the floor. Back in the ring, Cody hits some of his trademark moves, such as a disaster kick and a Cody Cutter. Cody goes for another Disaster Kick but Logan avoids it.

Cody does the punch into the Bionic Elbow spot in a tip of the cap to his late father, the legendary "American Dream" Dusty Rhodes. Cody ends up getting Logan in the figure-four leg lock. Logan yells out in pain but eventually makes it to the ropes to force the hold to be broken. Cody hits a Cody Cutter out of nowhere and immediately goes for the cover.

The crowd goes wild but Logan kicks out at two. Cody goes for a verta-breaker, but Logan counters and hits Cody with his own Cross-Rhodes finisher. He goes for the cover, but Cody kicks out. Logan surveys the situation for a moment and then heads to the top-rope. He looks for a frog splash but lands on his feet when Cody moves. Cody fights back and hits a twisting vertical suplex.

Cody and Logan end up on the floor, where Logan bounces Cody's head off the commentary desk a few times. He clears off the commentary desk, prompting Graves to stand up and glare at him. Logan puts Cody on the commentary desk and climbs up with him. He goes for a Pedigree but Cody escapes and starts fighting back. Cody hits a Cody Cutter on the table but it doesn't break.

The referee begins to count both guys out. Cody rolls in the ring and Michael Cole thinks that stops the count. He overreacts but then Graves points out that the ref is still counting Logan out. He nearly hits 10 but Cody grabs the referee's hand and refuses to win that way. Logan recovers and decks Cody with brass knuckles.

He grabs a PRIME bottle and heads to the top-rope where he hits a big splash on Cody putting him through the table. Fans react with a loud "Holy sh*t!" chant. Back in the ring, Logan climbs to the top and hits a frog splash and goes right into the cover, but Cody kicks out at two. Logan accidentally hits a splash on the ref in the corner.

With the ref out, Cody hits a verta-breaker on Logan. He covers him and the crowd counts, but there is no referee to make the real count. Cody heads over to try and revive the referee. He turns back to Logan, who blasts him with a blatant low blow. Logan reaches in his tights and pulls out brass knuckles with the ref still down.

He waits for Cody to get up, but Ibrahim Al Hajjaj stops him. Logan yells "Who the hell are you," and turns into a Cross-Rhodes from Cody. Cody holds on and hits another one. He goes for the cover and with the referee recovered, he gets the three-count to retain in an excellent main event. Cody thanks Ibrahim Al Hajjaj afterwards and celebrates in the crowd. That's how the show goes off the air.
