History is made.
In a historical moment at WWE Crown Jewel, Lacey Evans and Natalya squared off in the first-ever women's match in Saudi Arabia. As expected, Lacey and Natalya were not in their traditional ring gear. Instead, the two women wore full-body suits along with a t-shirt. The match was well-received by the Saudi audience as they cheered throughout and chanted "this is awesome" at one point. Natalya and Lacey worked a friendly bout, shaking hands before the match and embracing following Natalay's win.

Unfortunately, it wasn't all handshakes and hugs as someone threw a water bottle at Natalya during her entrance.
