Crown Jewel is just two weeks away, and the company doesn't have enough time for building a new feud for the Universal Championship. Since is the most coveted prize of the Red brand, a lengthy build-up for the Universal Championship will certainly generate more interest.

It has been a hectic month for WWE, as the company has gone through several changes. In the first week of October, the Blue brand made a highly-anticipated debut on Fox. In fact, the first show on Fox felt like a pay-per-view, as it overshadowed Hell in a Cell.

With the focus being moved to WWE Draft 2019 following Hell in a Cell, it would have been hasty to book a new opponent for Rollins, considering he will also take part in a 10-man Tag Team match in Saudi Arabia. Since Bray Wyatt has moved to SmackDown, this feud should end after Crown Jewel.

#2 A rematch is necessary after the bizarre ending at Hell in a Cell

The Fiend and Seth Rollins had a colossal battle, inside the steel cage, at Hell in a Cell. Since that was The Fiend's first title shot, the expectations were sky-high from the match. While it was a stupendous match, the ending left a lot of fans with an unpleasant surprise.

The Fiend had an impressive debut at SummerSlam, and he also showed his proficiency in the ring at Hell in a Cell, with his great performance. It was a lengthy match, as Rollins delivered his finishing maneuvers multiple times inside the cage. However, it didn't keep The Fiend down for very long.

Despite getting several Curb Stomps and a Pedigree, The Fiend kicked out every single time, proving he is an unstoppable monster. Since Rollins' finishing moves looked ineffective, the 'BeastSlayer' grabbed a ladder, a chair, and even a Sledgehammer to hit The Fiend.

When Rollins used the Sledgehammer, the match ended in disqualification which was an unusual finish in a Hell in a Cell match. The fans were not delighted by the queer finish of the Universal Championship match, and a rematch could have a fair result at Crown Jewel.

Bray Wyatt has taken the WWE Universe by storm since returning with a new character. There is no denying that The Fiend is best the thing in WWE right now, and he has quickly become a crowd puller.

While WrestleMania is the biggest event of the company, the shows in Saudi Arabia have also garnered attention in the past couple of years. From the stage set-up to the size of the audience, Saudi Arabia shows are comparable to the Showcase of Immortals. Furthermore, several legendary names also return to perform in the Middle East.

The Undertaker has been part of every show in Saudi Arabia. Shawn Michaels broke retirement to perform at Crown Jewel, and Goldberg also participated at Super ShowDown. This year, prominent names like Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair will be part of Crown Jewel.

The Fiend's rising popularity has made him a big attraction, and he cannot afford to skip a colossal event like Crown Jewel, making him a great addition to the star-studded pay-per-view. Given the Universal Championship match will be a Falls Count Anywhere Match, it has the potential of stealing the show.
