It's hard to remember a last-minute addition to a card having such a big impact on a show. The last-minute announcement that the WWE would be hosting their first-ever women's match - Natalya vs Lacey Evans - in Saudi Arabia was met with approval from all around the world and the Saudi crowd played their part in the encounter as well.

The WWE's involvement with Saudi Arabia has caused more than enough controversy over the last 18 months but this felt like their first truly memorable moment in the country. The crowd was red hot for this and the shots of the women in the crowd getting emotional were heart-warming, and a brilliant reminder of what makes wrestling so great.

The match itself was fine and the two women clearly wanted to put on a bit of a show for the live audience. The result didn't really matter and the two women embraced after the match and were clearly overwhelmed by the occasion.

It will be interesting to see what level of impact this will have on the WWE's shows in Saudi Arabia going forward. Hopefully, the matches will now become a permanent fixture of these shows. Well done to everyone involved.
