3 Questions WWE Needs To Answer After WWE Crown Jewel 2018

A lot of controversies

WWE Crown Jewel is finally over. It was an event that faced a lot of controversies before actually going through. But the funny thing is that show itself had a lot of controversies which WWE has to address now.

Overall, the show was decent PPV. The crowd seemed really fired up at some moments and completely dead at other times as well. The wrestling on the show was also good, except for one or two matches which were booked either too long or too short.

Brock Lesnar is the Universal Champion once again, while AJ Styles defeated Samoa Joe to retain his WWE Championship. In fact, there was no title change on the show. Shawn Michaels got a victory on his in-ring return. The WWE World Cup was totally messed up from a booking point of view.

In this article, we will take a look at 3 questions that WWE needs to answer after Crown Jewel 2018.


#3 When will The Undertaker retire?

Another match and yet another loss for The Undertaker. D-Generation X defeated The Brothers of Destruction at Crown Jewel. Although Taker was not the one who was pinned, he ended up on the losing side. It makes sense to have HBK win on his return. But one thing that really doesn't look good is Undertaker's physicality and ability to keep doing such matches.

These matches make him a lot of money. But it feels like it should end for him in the wrestling ring. He has had an amazing career and will surely go down as one of the best, if not the best pro wrestler. Now the time for him is to hang up his boots and retire from the WWE.

I believe that WWE is certainly headed in the direction of an HBK vs Taker match at WrestleMania 35. And that could very well be the moment where Shawn Michaels defeats The Undertaker and ends his career. So it will be interesting to see how WWE or Undertaker respond to this defeat.

#2 How is Shane McMahon the World Cup Winner?

WWE is known for their controversial PPV finishes. But what we saw at Crown Jewel was absolutely awful. The Miz vs Dolph Ziggler was the finale for the WWE World Cup tournament, where Miz got injured and was unable to continue. The referee was about to award Ziggler the trophy but Shane interfered and stopped him from doing so.

Shane McMahon obviously defeats Dolph Ziggler and is crowned the World Cup winner. During all this, Baron Corbin was told to leave the arena by the referee and he had no say in any of this.

This is one of the most pathetic bookings from WWE in a long time. It makes absolutely no sense and I really look forward to see how they explain this on Smackdown Live. We know this trophy doesn't matter after the show. But WWE thought too much and a surprise resulted in an awful piece of booking.

#1 Why Baron Corbin screwed over Braun Strowman?

The Universal Championship was left vacant by Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman vs Brock Lesnar was the match to decide a new champion at Crown Jewel. Before the match started, Baron Corbin came out to sit ringside and he was going to award the winner with the title.

After Lesnar made his entrance, Corbin ran into the ring and attacked Strowman from behind. He then asked the referee to ring the bell. Brock Lesnar then stormed four consecutive F-5's on Strowman, which he kicked out of. But he was hurt and couldn't make his way back into the match. Brock Lesnar pinned him and is now the new Universal Champion.

Now the interesting question is why Corbin screwed over Strowman. Is the WWE planning to do a quick squash match between the two at Survivor Series? It could be possible. But this is one of the big questions that WWE needs to answer on Monday Night Raw.
