In the match between Team Hulk Hogan and Team Ric Flair at the Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia, The Hulks reigned supreme. Hogan’s team of Roman Reigns, Ricochet, Ali, Rusev, and Shorty G defeated their rival team of Randy Orton, Bobby Lashley, Shinsuke Nakamura, Drew McIntyre, and King Corbin. Team Flair started the match on the backfoot and ended it pretty much there.

Shorty and Ali started the bout for their team, stunning their opponents with their quickness and agility. But Rusev’s zest to get to Lashley helped his opponents get the upper hand. McIntyre slowed down the pace of Team Hogan’s attack by wearing down Ali. However, that did not help Team Flair for long as Ali managed to tag Ricochet, who used his vast repertoire of aerial attacks to give his team the lead. It took the whole might of Team Flair to isolate Ricochet and staunch his attack.

But not for long. Ricochet managed to tag The Big Dog (Roman Reigns), who went on a rampage, taking on the whole team Flair single-handedly. Soon, it was chaos in the ring as all members from both sides engaged in an all-out fight. The massive brawl spilt to the ringside. Reigns took the opportunity to take flight over the rope to land on a mass of his opponents.

Later, Reigns and Orton went at each other, with Reigns landing a Superman Punch, which was countered by the Viper’s RKO. Reigns kicked out, and Team Hogan rallied together to make their last stand. Shorty G stopped Orton from pummeling Reigns, while Ali and Ricochet took dives to the outside to neutralise McIntyre and Lashley. This synchronized attack bought enough time for Reigns to drop an Apex Predator and seal Team Hogan’s victory. This victory has brought an end to one of the legendary rivalries of WWE.
