Moreover, in recent months WWE portrayed an excellent show in Australia, at WWE Super Showdown (watch the video below). Ultimately WWE has conducted epic wrestling events.
In April 2018 WWE conducted the Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia, the first of its kind. Due to its immense success, WWE Crown Jewel will take place there once more. The PPV will bear the ring return of Shawn Michaels. Moreover, the first ever WWE World Cup tournament. Therefore, what could else we expect from this epic PPV?
#4 Braun Strowman becomes Universal Champion
Since his departure from the Wyatt Family, Braun Strowman has been immensely successful. His reign of dominance has taken him to the pinnacle of the Raw brand. In recent years Strowman has battled; Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, Kevin Owens, and many more. He has earned his position in the Universal Championship scene.
At WWE Crown Jewel, Strowman will face-off with Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship. Unfortunately last week Roman Reigns announced his battle with leukaemia, hence being forced to vacate the championship. Therefore, improving the stakes between Lesnar and Strowman. Ultimately this match will mould the future of the Raw main event scene.
The reason Strowman must be victorious is relatively simple. He has earned it. Notwithstanding, Lesnar deserves his position as well. However, what is best for the championship scene? Ultimately Lesnar's sporadic appearances have hurt the Raw brand and the championship.
With Strowman as champion, legitimate competition would improve. For example, wrestlers like; Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, and Drew McIntyre could get an opportunity. With recent events, McIntyre has specific reasons to challenge Strowman, as is evident from the video. What could we expect?
#3 The Undertaker must retire
The Undertaker has had a storied career with WWE. Throughout his tenure, he has given us memorable moments. Moreover, been involved in some of the best matches. However, in recent years he has sporadically appeared, perhaps with retirement lurking. But at WWE Crown Jewel fans will witness him in action, when he competes against D-Generation X, alongside Kane.
Historically these four wrestlers have generated immense entertainment and prestige. Whether in tag team competition or feuding in singles competition, their performance was always stellar. Notable examples include; Shawn Michaels and Triple H performing against The Undertaker at multiple WrestleMania events.
Recently at WWE Super Showdown Triple competed with The Undertaker in a supposedly last ever match. However, events occurred which sparked drama. Subsequently, their interaction on Raw this week ignited their feud. At WWE Crown Jewel Shawn Michaels returns to ring action to battle his arch nemesis, alongside his partner Triple H.
This match will be nostalgic and entertaining. However, considering Undertaker's deteriorating ring performance, this would be the perfect time to retire.
What do you think?
#2 WWE World Cup victor receives a championship opportunity
The King of The Ring PPV aired between 1993-2002 and has been absent since. Throughout its tenure names like; Bret Hart, Triple H, and Steve Austin reaped the benefits, and became the victor. Their victories led to lengthy and memorable careers. It was at King of the Ring 1996 when Austin coined his catchphrase. However, since 2002 WWE has sporadically utilized tournaments.
At WWE Crown Jewel the WWE World Cup will play out, including Raw and SmackDown talent. The tournament will include; Seth Rollins, Kurt Angle, Bobby Lashley, and Dolph Ziggler representing Raw. Whereas, Rey Mysterio, The Miz, Randy Orton, and Jeff Hardy will represent Smackdown. The matches will be dramatic and entertaining. However, only one brand can be victorious.
On this week's SmackDown, Shane McMahon improved the ante. Whichever SmackDown wrestler loses the final, loses their job. Therefore, this tournament will be exciting.
However, it needs to be beneficial and relevant. At all costs, WWE must avoid wasting this opportunity. They could consider rewarding the victor with a championship opportunity, instead of just awarding a trophy. In doing so, the winner has a future. Just imagine Kurt Angle winning and going on to face Brock Lesnar one more time for the Universal Championship.
#1 Samoa Joe must become WWE Champion
During their tenure in Impact Wrestling (then TNA), AJ Styles and Samoa Joe built a storied history. They would war over the X-Division championship, also involving Christopher Daniels. Then in later years, fought for the World Championship. Their interaction brought immense drama and excitement.
In 2015, Joe made his debut for WWE NXT and went on to become NXT Champion. Whereas, Styles joined WWE in 2016, debuting at the Royal Rumble. Since their arrival, they have dominated their competition. However, Styles has garnered more Championship success, with Styles being a two-time WWE Champion.
Earlier this year, Joe and Styles began their dramatic feud. Since then, every week has afforded a new twist. At WWE Super Showdown Styles defeated Joe, seemingly culminating their feud.
On October 30th Joe attacked Styles following a gruelling WWE Championship match with Daniel Bryan. Following the attack Styles requested revenge, which Paige obliged. They collide at Crown Jewel.
Styles and Joe always generate exciting matches. Their chemistry is second to none. Moreover, their storytelling is akin to past feuds. Notably, Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart. At Crown Jewel, Joe needs to become champion. Firstly, Styles has had a lengthy reign. Secondly, Joe deserves championship success since leaving NXT. What could fans expect?
