WWE Crown Jewel will take place on 2 November 2018, from the King Saud University stadium in Saudi Arabia. After a lot of controversy surrounding the event, WWE will go ahead with the show as scheduled.
WWE had some issues with the talent as well. Marquee names like John Cena and Daniel Bryan pulled out of the event. Hence, they were replaced in their matches.
The problems didn't end there. WWE lost Roman Reigns as well after he announced that he is suffering from leukemia. So the Universal Championship match is now a one on one bout between Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar. Other matches include DX vs Brothers of Destruction, and the World Cup tournament.
There is no doubt that WWE had to make a lot of changes for this show, but it still looks like an event that could give us some good moments. In this article, we take a look at three things that should happen at WWE Crown Jewel 2018.
#3 Seth Rollins vs Kurt Angle in the semi-finals of the World Cup
The four participants who will represent Raw in the WWE World Cup will be Seth Rollins, Kurt Angle, Bobby Lashley, and Dolph Ziggler. Seth Rollins vs Bobby Lashley, and Kurt Angle vs Dolph Ziggler will be the round one matches. So there is a lot of chance that we get to see Rollins vs Angle in the semi-finals of the tournament.
Seth Rollins vs Kurt Angle is a dream match the WWE Universe has wanted for a long time, and we finally might get to see it. The match will be an absolute classic, and could go either way. There is a possibility that Dean Ambrose will interfere at some point during a Seth match in the World Cup, costing him the chance to win it.
It really doesn't matter who wins this match, the company has the oppourtunity to give the WWE Universe a treat either way.
#2 Braun Strowman wins the Universal Championship
The WWE Universal Championship was relinquished by Roman Reigns on Raw. He had to leave the WWE in order to focus on his health, and WWE had to therefore change the championship match at Crown Jewel to a one on one.
If The Big Dog had not left, it would be an easy decision of booking him to retain the title, but now the WWE has to choose a new champion. At the moment, nothing is clear about Brock Lesnar's contract situation. This might be Lesnar's last match in WWE for a long time, or he may re-sign and win the title again.
The moment has come for Braun Strowman, and he should be the one who wins the championship at Crown Jewel, because if Lesnar wins it, he isn't going to appear on Raw every week.
With the absence of Roman Reigns, WWE will surely want their Universal Champion to stay active on Raw. The Monster Among Men should win the title, and this is a decision WWE has to make.
#1 Shawn Michaels should pick up a victory on his return
WWE Crown Jewel will feature a nostalgic tag-team match which will also be a first time ever. D-Generation X will take on The Brothers of Destruction. It will also mark the in-ring return of The Heart Break Kid.
The build to this match has been pretty average to say the least. WWE has failed to book this in the right way. It feels like they are just dependent on the big names to sell themselves to the audience.
The match between these two teams should be better than the Triple H vs Undertaker match at Super Show-Down. One decision WWE must make here is that Shawn Michaels gets the win on his return.
We know WWE is planning a possible HBK vs Undertaker match in the future, but I don't think they will start the build for it at Crown Jewel. Not unless they plan on doing it at Survivor Series in three weeks.
Michaels could sweet-chin-music Kane, and pin him instead of The Undertaker. This will protect the match between the two, and also not hurt Shawn Michaels' WWE return.
