WWE Chief Content Officer Paul Levesque talks about the acquisition of Mexican wrestling company AAA after Wrestlemania 41 Night 1.
WWE Night of Champions was filled with surprises when John Cena boomed the cash-in attempt by Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes And Jade Cargill were crowned King and Queen of the Ring and the Bloodlijnfactie received a new member.
The event took place in Riyad, Saudi -Arabia, for a full house in the Kingdom Arena. The Premium Live event was seen in the United States at 1 p.m., giving professional struggles a great opportunity to watch the competitions and still have time to enjoy the rest of the day they also viewed.

And it has paid off.
Night of Champions Braked the domestic viewers of the company for shows for Saudi Arabia, sources that are familiar with the business told Fox Business on Monday. Night of Champions exceeded last year’s live viewers for King and Queen of the Ring with 27%.
Fans were shown Rhodes beat Randy Orton and Cargill Top Asuka to win the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments respectively. Both competitors receive title shots at Summerslam.
Rhodes is likely to pursue a Wrestlemania 41 braking with Cena, because the last performer has won his defective defense controversially since he won his 17th WWE title. Cargill will have her options open, because the title photo in the women’s division will probably become clearer next month after evolution 2.
