#5 Paul Heyman's interesting spoiler for Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar at WWE Crown Jewel 2021
Arguably the biggest match heading into Crown Jewel 2021 is Universal Champion Roman Reigns defending his title against arch-rival Brock Lesnar. The feud between the two heavyweights has been highly entertaining, especially due to Lesnar playing mind games with Reigns, making him question the loyalty of Paul Heyman.
Ahead of their clash at the upcoming event, Brock Lesnar's former (or present?) advocate and Roman Reigns' Special Counsel Paul Heyman has delivered an interesting spoiler for their match.
Taking to Instagram, he hyped up the match and claimed that no matter what, he will be leaving Crown Jewel with the Universal Champion, without naming who that could be. This has further raised speculation that we could see him turn on Reigns at the show.
"Exclusive! Spoiler for Crown Jewel!" Heyman wrote. "Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar... This Thursday - LIVE on Peacock and WWE Network. I hate to spoil the ending of what is the biggest box office match of 2021, but... Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman, and I will be walking down the aisle at Crown Jewel with the reigning defending undisputed WWE Universal Heavyweight Champion... and I assure you, I will be leaving Crown Jewel with the WWE Universal Heavyweight Champion!"
Or could he just be playing with our minds like he always has? We shall find out soon at Crown Jewel 2021.
#4 Potential spoiler on all title match results at WWE Crown Jewel 2021
Apart from the Universal Championship match, Crown Jewel will feature WWE Champion Big E defending his title against Drew McIntyre. The SmackDown Women's Championship will also be on the line as Becky Lynch will defend her title in a triple threat match against Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks.
Also, RAW Tag Team Champions RK-Bro will defend their titles against AJ Styles and Omos.
As per reports, no titles are expected to change hands at the event. This would mean that Reigns, Big E, Lynch, and RK-Bro will walk out of the pay-per-view, still the champions.
#3 Update on Charlotte Flair possibly being added to Crown Jewel match card
Ahead of Crown Jewel 2021, there has been speculation that WWE could end up adding RAW Women's Champion Charlotte Flair to the SmackDown Women's Championship triple threat match. Flair has been drafted to the Blue brand and has been feuding with all the three women in the match.
According to the latest report by Fightful Select, The Queen is not listed internally to wrestle at the event. Moreover, multiple talents who traveled to Saudi Arabia for the show haven't seen Flair. Considering this, it seems highly unlikely that Charlotte Flair will wrestle at the pay-per-view.
#2 Future plans for Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar after Crown Jewel
Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at Crown Jewel 2021 has everyone talking. The question is whether The Beast Incarnate could be the one to dethrone Reigns, ending his 400+ days iconic run as the champion?
According to reports, there are no plans for Roman Reigns to lose his title anytime soon and he is expected to hold on to it for a long time, at least till the end of this year.
As for Lesnar, he is reportedly not scheduled for any further WWE shows this year after Crown Jewel. He is being promoted to appear at next year's Royal Rumble pay-per-view.
#1 The Undertaker spotted in Saudi Arabia ahead of Crown Jewel
The Undertaker officially announced his retirement from WWE last year at Survivor Series. While he has made it clear on multiple occasions since that he doesn't plan to return, fans are hopeful of seeing The Phenom show up one more time.
Ahead of Crown Jewel 2021, The Undertaker has been spotted in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The WWE legend appeared at rapper Pitbull's concert and even introduced him. This has definitely started speculation of The Deadman making an appearance in some manner at the pay-per-view.
