WWE King and Queen of the Ring LIVE RESULTS: Logan Paul uses FOREIGN OBJECT on Cody Rhodes during title bout – updates
WWE King and Queen of the Ring returned to Saudi Arabia with the Undisputed title on the line.
Cody Rhodes headlined against US Champ Logan Paul in Jeddah - but only Rhodes' WWE title is on the line.
There was more controversy with Paul using a FOREIGN OBJECT during the bout before Rhodes recovered from that - and a frog splash through a table - to retain his title.
Read our live blog below to see how the action unfolded...
That's all from Saudi Arabia
Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes retained his title against Logan Paul, who came very close to a shock victory thanks to a series of underhanded tactics.
Gunther and Nia Jax were crowned Kind and Queen of the Ring after beating Randy Orton and Lyra Valkyria respectively.
And Liv Morgan was crowned Women's World Champion after beating Becky Lynch with unwanted help from Dominik Mysterio.
That's all from us here at SunSport, have a great night!
What's next for CM Punk?
CM Punk is certain to be involved in the World Heavyweight Championship Match between titleholder Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre.
Punk and Scottish superstar McIntyre have been embroiled in a heated feud ever since the former's return to WWE at Survivor Series.
And it's certain that those two will face off one day, probably as soon as SummerSlam.
Expect The Best in the World to play a major role at Clash at the Castle.

Drew McIntyre has been medically cleared to compete after a recent elbow injury he suffered at WrestleMania 40 by CM Punk.
McIntyre is now set to challenge World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest after the latter cashed in on the Scottish Warrior at WrestleMania to rob him of his celebration following his triumph over Seth Rollins.
The two men will face off at Clash at the Castle on June 15 at the OVO Hydro, which is in the challenger's homeland of Scotland.
The Scottish crowd is expected to side with the three-time world champion.
And so the 38-year-old joked that Priest would have to enter the arena like John Cena did as WWE Champion at ECW One Night Stand in 2006 when he took on Rob Van Dam in front of a very hostile crowd that was unanimously behind the challenger.
What's next?
It looks like we won't see US Champion Logan Paul until SummerSlam on August 3 at the Cleveland Browns Stadium in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio.
Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will soon find out who the new King of the Ring Gunther will challenge.
The Ring General - or should I say King General - will get to choose the world champion he wants to challenge for SummerSlam.
The Austrian heavyweight can also face World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest, if he retains his title against Drew McIntyre at Clash at the Castle on June 15 at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow.
Queen of the Ring Nia Jax looks set to challenge WWE Women's Champion Bayley at SummerSlam.
