3 Possible Endings for the Universal Championship match at Crown Jewel

The Universal Championship is currently the biggest prize for men on the Raw roster and the WWE in general. After Brock Lesnar held the championship for the longest time in the company, he was finally beaten by The Big Dog Roman Reigns, who claimed his first Universal title.

The WWE has been giving Roman Reigns great pushes, and while it was expected that Roman Reigns would win the championship much earlier than he actually did, he did so only after interference from Braun Strowman.

When Kurt Angle, the General Manager of Raw, denied Paul Heyman’s client a rematch for the championship at an early date, Lesnar broke into Hell in a Cell to lay waste to both Reigns and Strowman while they were competing for the gold.

This gave birth to the triple-threat match between the three men at the Crown Jewel event scheduled to be held in Saudi Arabia on November 2.

There had been rumors that the company would let Roman Reigns keep the title for a long period, as it took him a long to win the championship, and therefore he was denied defending the title every Monday Night by acting GM Baron Corbin to ensure that his reign continues into Crown Jewel.

However, Reigns recently revealed on Raw that he was battling leukemia, and therefore he relinquished his title which is now lying vacant with the WWE.

Now the match will be a one-on-one between Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman and will crown a new Universal Champion. There can be 3 possible, if not more, endings for the match which will feature two explosively powerful superstars.

#3 Braun Strowman pins Brock Lesnar clean

Braun Strowman is the strongest contender for the championship going into the match. There is little doubt that he has the power to take on Brock Lesnar.

With Roman Reigns out of the picture for the title, the WWE will be faced with a tough task to choose its new Universal Champion.

With that said, Lesnar is a part of the match as a result of his rematch clause, and the money involved in events staged in Saudi Arabia, of course. It seems like the man will not go on to win the title.

After all, he has been training and waiting in line for his UFC return, and once he returns to the UFC, he won’t have time for the WWE anymore and won't risk getting into matches in the company which could result in injuries and hurt his UFC return.

Therefore, it’s most likely that if Strowman does end up becoming the Universal Champion at Crown Jewel to shake things up a bit, he will indeed pin Brock Lesnar to take him out of contention for the title for some time, and begin his new rivalry with Drew McIntyre, who is another monster worthy of a shot at the title.

#2 Brock Lesnar unleashes the Beast within

A highly unlikely ending, but don’t underestimate the most physical man in the company when it comes to a championship.

Lesnar was the longest reigning champion when he had the Universal Title and was working part-time while only defending the championship at pay-per-views.

There is little doubt that the reason for his return so close to his UFC return has been brought about by the dollars he’s been promised by Saudi Arabia to build hype around Crown Jewel. Therefore, it can be assumed that this will be the last we’ll see of The Beast for some time to come.

However, there is still a one-third chance of him winning the title, which cannot be ruled out. Brock Lesnar can easily take on Strowman, and come out on top whenever he wants. He has defended his title against many men in the WWE on a few occasions and won each time except his last outing as champion.

Though it seems like Lesnar will want to avoid any bumps or unnecessary injuries in the WWE right before his return to the UFC in search of the UFC Championship, he would surely love to walk into the UFC as the WWE Universal Champion and hold both the company’s top titles at the same time.

#1 Drew McIntyre interferes

This is the most likely ending to the match. McIntyre has been getting on Strowman’s nerves since the past two weeks, and won’t want to stop anytime soon. After all, Strowman’s interference during Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre’s match with Ambrose and Rollins cost them the Tag Team Championships.

Therefore, not only will McIntyre want to avenge the loss of his title, he will want to get in contention for the Universal Championship too before one of the two monsters go on to win the championship.

An interference from McIntyre, and a possible attack on Strowman alone will either cause a disqualification or an undue advantage for Lesnar to win the Championship through pinfall.

On the other hand, it’s most likely the disqualification will be the likely ending, where Strowman does not take a pinfall, Lesnar wins his match in Saudi Arabia, and the championship still remains vacant for a future bout.

A match that will most probably involve the Monster Among Men and The Scottish Psychopath.
