WWE Crown Jewel has been full of twists and turns so far, with most notable moments being Kairi Sane's return to the company and Logan Paul's title win.

The name in question is Damian Priest, who took on Cody Rhodes in a singles match. While the American Nightmare entered the match with an injured ankle, he was still able to come out on top after hitting multiple Cross-Rhodes.
This was also Priest's first singles loss on TV programming in nearly five months. Coincidentally, The Archer of Infamy's last defeat in one-on-one competition came against Cody Rhodes as well. While the Judgment Day members and JD McDonagh tried to assist their fellow stablemates, they were taken out by Jey Uso.
