WWE Crown Jewel: 5 last-minute predictions

#3 AJ Styles retains

Well, AJ Styles was originally scheduled to face off against Daniel Bryan at Crown Jewel for the WWE Championship, but that match took place instead on the go-home SmackDown and Styles' new opponent has been named as Samoa Joe.

Joe and Styles' rivalry this year has been monumental, with The Phenomenal One besting his opponent every time - and I don't think Friday will be any different.

Like I said in the last slide, I think WWE is gearing up for AJ Styles vs Brock Lesnar II at Survivor Series and, with one big title change already definitely happening when the vacant Universal Championship finds a new home, I can't see past an AJ Styles win in this match.

But will we see a new contender emerge for Styles at the event? Sadly, I think not. I think we see an excellent match, a clean Styles win and the story continues on SmackDown next week.
