WWE Crown Jewel Rumor Roundup: Spoiler on future plans for Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, Long-term repercussions

#2 What's next for Roman Reigns after WWE Crown Jewel?

As stated earlier, Roman Reigns is the favorite to walk out of Crown Jewel with the Universal title still around his waist. The biggest question that follows is - what's next for The Tribal Chief?

As has been the case over the last several months, Reigns already has a number of feuds lined up for him. With WWE confirming Survivor Series to have a brand supremacy theme, we might see him face Big E in a huge "Champions vs. Champions" match at the pay-per-view.

Another top star who is reported to challenge Roman Reigns is Drew McIntyre. The Scottish Warrior has been drafted to SmackDown and has made his intentions clear to come after the Universal Champion. Dave Meltzer has reported the same on the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

''McIntyre was moved over since Roman Reigns desperately needs a new opponent, and on paper right now there is essentially nobody else for him. Plus, McIntyre goes over with multiple losses at the end of his Raw run and presumably another to Big E, and then will become Reigns’ big contender probably around December,'' said Meltzer.

As of now, McIntyre is set to challenge WWE Champion Big E at Crown Jewel. However, the title is highly unlikely to change hands.

#1 Nixed plans for Queen's Crown tournament match

WWE's announcement of the inaugural Queen's Crown tournament was met with a lot of positive reactions from the fans and critics. However, the atrocious booking of the matches and the female stars getting very short matches has enraged the WWE Universe.

One of the fan-favorites heading into the tournament was Liv Morgan, who has been looking to get that one big push. However, all hopes for her came crashing down as she lost to Carmella in the first round of the tournament.

According to a report by Fightful Select, Morgan was originally planned to go over Carmella in round one. The report further added that there is significant frustration backstage about the booking of the women's division.

This past week on SmackDown, Zelina Vega defeated Carmella in round two of the tournament. She will now be facing the winner of the match between Shayna Baszler and Doudrop in the final at Crown Jewel 2021.
