Ranking Each Superstar's Chance to win the Universal Title at WWE Crown Jewel

Big Sam
Triple Threat Match for WWE Crown Jewel
The main event of WWE Crown Jewel

On the 8/17 edition of Monday Night RAW, General Manager Baron Corbin made a huge announcement.

WWE Pay-Per-View Crown Jewel has got its main event. After Brock Lesnar's interference at Hell in a Cell, Roman Reigns will defend his Universal Championship against Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar in a triple threat match.

There's a lot of routes WWE could go in this massive match, but one thing is certain: one of these 3 superstars will be walking out the champ. In this article, I'm giving reasons for why each superstar should win the Universal Championship. Let's go!


#3 Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar made a return at Hell in a Cell and actually had a reason behind it: he never got his Universal Title rematch. At Crown Jewel, he has a shot to be the first superstar to win the Universal Champion 2 times. WWE might want to give him one last run before he's gone for good.

Let's get one thing straight: The Beast sells tickets. He is a huge attraction and when his music hits, the crowd will pop. The downside to this is that Brock will be a part-timer. We all know he's looking ahead to his return to UFC. So it wouldn't be the smartest decision to try this part-time champion thing again.

Heading into Saudi Arabia, Brock Lesnar is the least likely to walk out as the champion.

#2 Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman is one of the main pieces in WWE's future, but so far his career has been a roller coaster. Right when it looks like he's about to have his moment, WWE pulls back. They even gave him the Money In the Bank and WWE messed that up too.

If it were up to me, Braun should have held that Money In the Bank contract for a while and be the guy to dethrone Reigns down the line. WWE could make it up to him by giving him the title at Crown Jewel.

Speaking of that contract, Braun got screwed at Hell in a Cell. He cashed it in ahead of time so he could get a fair one on one match without interference. Instead, the match was a no contest with Brock Lesnar interfering.

The Triple Threat stipulation could be used to his advantage because Braun is a destructive force and there are no rules (plus the only person who will likely get involved is Paul Heyman).

Braun Strowman is the wild card in this match. He could win, he could lose. I guess we'll wait and see what WWE decides to do.

#1 Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns
The Big Dog

Roman Reigns is the current Universal Champion heading in Saudi Arabia. The Big Dog ended Brock's 500 plus day reign as champion. One possibility is that WWE keeps the title on Roman. It's clear that WWE wants Roman Reigns to be The Guy, so why would they take the title away so soon?

At Hell in a Cell, Roman faced Braun for the Universal Championship. Near the end of the match, Roman speared Strowman through a table. If Brock had not interfered in the match, Roman Reigns would have likely won the match then and there.

No matter what your opinion on Roman is, you can't deny that he's a great athlete and a good wrestler. He has the 'superstar build' that Vince likes and he rarely gets injured. It's clear that Vince wants the fans to cheer for Roman and being aligned with the Shield should help with that a little.

And if they still want to do the ¨Shield has all the titles on Monday Night RAW¨ idea, Seth would have to keep the Intercontinental Championship, win the Tag Titles with Dean and Roman would still have to be Universal Champion.

Overall, I think there's a pretty high chance the Big Dog defends his yard at Saudi Arabia and remains Universal Champion.
