3 Possible Endings to the WWE Championship Match at Crown Jewel

With the Crown Jewel event only a few hours away, fans can’t help but speculate the outcome of each and every match that will be a part of the event.

While the Universal Championship and the World Cup tournament are the two red-hot bouts that the fans will be looking forward to, the value of the WWE Championship match has fallen slightly due to Daniel Bryan’s replacement with Samoa Joe.

Even though Bryan’s absence will be felt, Joe is one of the top heels on the main roster along with Randy Orton and The Miz, and there remains little doubt that we will witness yet another physical and extremely personal bout between the two men.

As the men begin to do battle for the biggest prizes in the WWE on Friday evening, let’s take a look at 3 possible endings to the WWE Championship match which could possibly spill over to some really good storylines going forward.

#3 AJ Styles wins clean

This won't be the first time the two men come face to face

The most obvious outcome of the match between AJ Styles and Samoa Joe. Styles has been holding the WWE Championship for a long time and justifying it with each and every performance.

Just like CM Punk, and unlike Brock Lesnar, fans are still not bored of seeing him as the champion and that comes as a big surprise since the SmackDown locker room is filled with some well deserving superstars.

Since Samoa Joe has already received a few matches in the past where fans believed he would win the title, the same didn’t happen which ensured that the WWE is in no mood to give the injury-prone wrestler a run with the top championship.

Samoa Joe has not won a single championship on the main roster yet which says a lot about where the company wants to see him. Therefore, as Daniel Bryan’s replacement for the match, Samoa Joe should most likely lose the match clean to AJ Styles.

Daniel Bryan was already slated to lose his bout at Crown Jewel against AJ Styles, and he did lose to him on the match at SmackDown before the event. That is reason enough to believe that AJ Styles won’t be dropping the title any time soon.

#2 Samoa Joe puts AJ Styles to sleep

Samoa Joe could send AJ off for a little nap

An unlikely and an unwelcomed decision which could nonetheless happen at the event. WWE is used to pulling off surprises, and this could be one of the biggest ones.

Samoa Joe has been in the title picture for the various championships on the main roster quite a few times but has failed to win even once. The WWE could change his fortunes by handing him his first main roster title at the event to make the event more successful and memorable for the fans.

The two men have had some intense matches in the past, and it seemed likely that Joe would beat Styles in at least one match to win the championship. However, that didn’t happen but could happen in Saudi Arabia.

While it would be a bad booking decision to have Styles lose the championship to his former rival, WWE has made such mistakes in the past, and some have even led to some great storylines.

#1 An interference

Will we see these two men join forces at Crown Jewel?

Probably the most likely ending could come as an interference which leaves the match in a no contest, hence protecting both superstars. Joe has already taken enough loses when it has come to championship matches, and Styles has nothing left to prove by cleanly pinning the big man.

If one of the four men from SmackDown wins the WWE World Cup, especially Randy Orton, they could run havoc during the championship match as they’d believe that they believe a shot at the title more than anyone now after being declared the Best in the World.

Picking Randy Orton to do this would be perfect, as the former champion is the best heel who’ll be a part of the event, and is already on a demolition course where he wants to put the stars the WWE Universe cheer to rest.

There is no better man to target next other than AJ Styles, and an interference by Randy Orton, or even The Miz if he wins the World Cup, could result in some of the best storylines leading to WrestleMania.
