4 Things Possible at WWE Crown Jewel 2018

#2 Braun Strowman will finally win the Universal Championship

After Roman Reigns had to vacate the Universal Championship due to illness, Braun Strowman will go one on one against Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship.

I recently wrote an article on how Crown Jewel may be now or never for Strowman, as he has been in numerous Universal Title matches, but has come up short in all of them, including twice to Lesnar himself. I stand by that point as if Strowman does not win the title here, I'm not sure if he ever will, at least on RAW. The timing will never be better, as the Universal Championship has had horrible luck since its inception.

Apart from a decent Kevin Owens reign in late 2016-early 2017, which was helped enormously by Chris Jericho, the title has either been vacated due to injury/illness or has barely been defended or seen on television, namely Lesnar and Goldberg. The Universal Championship NEEDS a good, quality reign now more than ever, and Strowman is the guy to do it.

Even after he was turned heel in his feud against the Shield, Strowman was still getting cheers and now that he is back to being a babyface, the crowd can fully get behind him again. If Lesnar walks out of Crown Jewel with the belt, then we will be back to where we were before SummerSlam and absolutely no one wants that. Lesnar had the upper hand on Braun on the go home show, so I would be shocked if Strowman does not go over on Friday and finally wins the Universal Championship.
