WWE Crown Jewel 2021 - 5 things we learned from the event

#2. Crown Jewel promises that Big E's WWE Championship reign will continue for an extended period

The current WWE Champion and New Day Member, Big E battled Drew McIntyre at Crown Jewel 2021. He was able to defeat the Scottish Warrior, proving that he can take on major challengers and defeat them clean.

Both stars battled it out in a very physical match. Drew McIntyre kicked out of the Big Ending while Big E was able to power out after being hit by the Claymore Kick. After one more Big Ending from Big E, Drew McIntyre lost the match and humbly left the ring.

Drew McIntyre is a very strong star, who has cleanly defeated major stars like Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton. Defeating such a strong competitor adds to the relevancy of Big E's promising run.

Crown Jewel gave fans hope that Big E's title reign will last for at least a few more months until a strong challenger dethrones him as the WWE Champion.

#1. Paul Heyman's loyalty remained unclear at Crown Jewel 2021

The main event of Crown Jewel featured Roman Reigns defending his Universal Title against Brock Lesnar. The match was probably the most anticipated match in recent memory, which kept fans wondering which side Paul Heyman will pick now that his former client is feuding against the Tribal Chief.

Fans will have to wait a little longer until Paul Heyman reveals his true loyalty. At Crown Jewel, Heyman threw the Universal Championship right in the middle of Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns while the referee was sidelined. Fans as well as the Universal Champion were unsure what Paul Heyman did.

However, the championship in the ring was later used by the Head of the Table leading to his win, so for now, Paul Heyman stays with the Tribal Chief. Lesnar and Reigns may clash again in the future. When that happens, we may see Heyman picking a different side. For now, we can safely call Paul Heyman the special counsel for Roman Reigns.
