WWE Crown Jewel is less than 24 hours away, and after all the controversy that has surrounded the event, it is now time to see whether the event can at least deliver in the ring.

While WWE and the wrestlers alike will be relieved once the event is done and dusted, fans will be hoping to see some memorable performances in the ring so that they can have some positive memories of the show.

Like the company's first event in Saudi Arabia, the match card is full of part-time wrestling legends such as The Undertaker, Kurt Angle, and Shawn Michaels, and old workhorses of the WWE like Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio.

While the WWE will try their level best to ensure that they pull off one of the best shows of the year in the Kingdom, there are a few things that must happen at the show to build on the storylines that have been continuing on WWE television.

Let’s take a look at 3 things which must happen at Crown Jewel.


#3 Kurt Angle makes Dolph Ziggler tap out

Will McIntyre only make the trip to be at Ziggler's side?

Kurt Angle will be making his return to singles competition in Saudi Arabia at Crown Jewel. The veteran superstar will be fighting one of Raw’s top heels in the initial stage of the World Cup.

Dolph Ziggler, who beat Dean Ambrose to qualify for the World Cup, will be accompanied by Drew McIntyre in his match against the Olympic Gold Medalist.

Even though the odds will be against Angle, especially given McIntyre's presence at ringside, it is still very likely that he will progress to the next round to set up a dream match between himself and Seth Rollins.

If Angle does beat Dolph Ziggler at Crown Jewel, then the WWE should go all out and make the former Intercontinental Champion tap out to the Ankle Lock to award the victory to Kurt Angle.

Not only will this be a dent in the Showoff’s reputation and ego, but also be a fitting return for Angle to singles competition.

#2 Drew McIntyre intervenes in the Universal Championship match

Could Paul Heyman turn on Brock Lesnar?

The Universal Championship will see two of the most dominant men in the WWE collide for the biggest prize in the company.

As soon as Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar come face to face at Crown Jewel, all hell will break loose, and the match is guaranteed to be one of the most physical of the night.

While that will be the case, there will also be a chance of the Scottish Psychopath, Drew McIntyre making an appearance at some point during or after the match, especially considering he will already be at the show accompanying Dolph Ziggler during the World Cup.

While McIntyre could either take out Strowman and cost him the title, or simply attack him after his victory, it'd much more interesting if he actually helped The Monster Among Men to win the belt.

His reason for helping Strowman win could be as simple as wanting to take the title away from the Monster Among Men when the two men clash and McIntyre beats him.

#1 Randy Orton helps Jeff Hardy win his match against The Miz

Randy Orton is one of the best of heels in the WWE right now. Everything he touches turns to gold, and we may never see a heel like him again after he calls it a day.

Randy Orton helping Jeff Hardy win against The Miz sounds silly, but it could actually happen at Crown Jewel. However, instead of attacking The Miz and allowing Hardy to pin him, Orton could attack Hardy himself, causing a disqualification for The Miz and handing the victory to Hardy.

This could be part of his plan to meet the Charismatic Enigma in the semi-final after he has already attacked and injured him on several occasions. Orton could then go on to take out a battered Hardy before heading to the final.

This would also help protect The Miz’s image and status as he could go on a rant how victories were stolen from him at Super Showdown, and then again at Crown Jewel.

Only a true heel would pull off such a tactic, and Orton is the only heel smart enough to pull it off.
