On from one global pay-perview to another, WWE will take Riyadh's King Saud University Stadium by storm when WWE Crown Jewel will take center-stage in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia in front of fans from all over the globe on Friday,November 2, 2018. This will be WWE's second event in Saudi Arabia this year, following the Greatest Royal Rumble in April. The mega-event will stream live on the WWE Network, which is (as always) free for new subscribers.
Thus far, WWE has done a pretty good job of hyping up the event, with WWE building up its hottest story-lines for the inaugural event with multiple matches already announced for the show.
On the official site of WWE, WWE has officially announced the following for WWE Crown Jewel:
- The first-ever WWE World Cup ( a one-night,eight-man tournament to determine the best wrestler in the world)
- Roman Reigns Vs Brock Lesnar Vs Braun Strowman in a Triple Threat Match for the Universal Championship.
- AJ Styles Vs Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship
- The Brothers of Destruction ( The Undertaker and Kane) Vs D-Generation X (Shawn Michaels and Triple H) in a two on two tag-team match.
According to recent reports, The tag-team match between The Brothers of Destruction and D-Generation X is expected to close out the show. The Universal Title match could also end the show, but that seem unlikely in the presence of the aforementioned tag-team match.
Advertised for the event are John Cena, The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar,Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton, Kane and some of WWE brightest stars. WWE is pulling out all the stops to make this global event one for the ages. This means that WWE fans are in store for something truly special.
Having said that, let's look at 3 reasons to be excited for WWE Crown Jewel.
#3. AJ Styles Vs Daniel Bryan
Are we living in a pipe-dream of sorts right now? It seems unbelievable that WWE is actually doing a block-buster feud between two of the most notorious and beloved stars in Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles.
This match, alone, has the potential to sell-out an area, if not a stadium, with in a week. A WWE Championship match between Styles and Bryan is a Wrestlemania,main-event caliber match, that will shine the brightest under the bright lights. Styles and Bryan will inevitably put on a classic and WWE better do this match justice by allowing it sufficient time and giving it a worthy,main-event spot on the card.
My mouth stars to water every time the prospect of watching these two gladiators square off comes to mind. Well, fans all over the globe will have a chance to witness a legitimate dream match at WWE Crown Jewel between two of the best WWE has to offer.
#2. The first-ever WWE World Cup
I know that the concept of having a world cup without having superstars representing their respective countries is purely asinine and hysterical, but you have to admit that WWE has put together a stunning field thus far. John Cena, Kurt Angle, Randy Orton, and Jeff Hardy will be vying to become the best in the world, but four spots are still open for contention.
The thing that excited me the most is the host of dream matches fans could witness in one night within the span of around four to five hours. WWE has announced that it will be a one-night tournament, so you could expect WWE to give fans multiple dream matches in one tournament.
Another aspect of this tournament that captivates me is its unpredictable nature. Anyone could win this thing and that's the best thing about a world cup, you never know what to expect.
#1.The return of Shawn Michaels
`
Although, it had been rumored for months that Shawn Michaels would come out of retirement, it was a surreal sight to watch that come to fruition and the crowd's reaction to that was full proof of it. It's now official that Michaels will return to the ring to team up with his brother-in-arms , Triple H, in an attempt to tame the monstrous duo of The Undertaker and Kane.
Even though all four of these stars are past their prime and many think that this match should've taken place a long time ago, The WWE Universe is still buzzing about the thought of witnessing the two most dominating factions go toe-to-toe in a dream match. The Brothers of Destruction and D-Generation X could just steal the show with their entrances alone.
We all know that this won't be a great match from an in-ring point of view, but it'd still be fun to watch four legends in the ring at the same time for the sake of nostalgia.
