Crown Jewel Is Still On | Sami Zayn, Blood & Guts & Cena's Return — The 2 Count Tuesday 10/27/26

BTT Studios is now on Roku and Amazon Fire, and The 2 Count opens with the story nobody can stop talking about: WWE Crown Jewel is still set for November 7 in Riyadh. TKO's Ari Emanuel says everything is still set and being monitored daily, the U.S. has ordered non-emergency government staff out of Saudi Arabia, and Fightful Select reports talent and staff are unhappy about going. Coach says his own sources gave him names, JD says WWE's TV shows nobody cares about the show, and Ariel Helwani's report that Power Slap's production crew will fly into Bahrain and bus into Riyadh has both hosts asking why WWE's stars should feel safe. Then Raw: no Roman Reigns in Fresno apart from a pre-taped Solo Sikoa segment, no 946 until 45 minutes in, and Sami Zayn carrying the champion vs. champion build on his own. JD gives Sami his flowers, Coach pushes back on Sami's comments to Chris Van Vliet about the WrestleMania main event dream, and the guys debate two-night WrestleManias. In AEW, JD calls Blood & Guts unnecessary, and Tony Khan's "kind of like the A-Team" explanation for the Hurt Syndicate gets taken apart. The women's divisions: Stephanie Vaquer wasn't cleared, so Becky Lynch got Liv Morgan in the Raw main event, and on SmackDown B-Fab and Michin took the tag titles. Both hosts want Blake Monroe at the top. Then the young stars (Bron Breakker, Penta, Je'Von Evans, Oba Femi) and Coach's case for a traditional Survivor Series match, and the Kick Out: John Cena's November 2 Raw return in Brooklyn and the John Cena Classic. Takes are the hosts' opinions.
