The company has done an impressive job with the match card and it is now up to them to deliver with it at the show. As per recent reports, WWE plans to improve the "glorified house show" image of this Saudi Arabia pay-per-views and make them a must-watch with future implications. To ensure that, Vince McMahon's promotion could take some interesting decisions.

Let's take a look at five bold predictions for Crown Jewel 2021. Be sure to comment down and let us know your thoughts on the same and predictions for the show.

#5 Paul Heyman helps Roman Reigns to defeat Brock Lesnar at WWE Crown Jewel 2021

Arguably the most anticipated match heading into Crown Jewel 2021 is the Universal Championship battle between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. The Tribal Chief has been dominating the WWE roster for well over a year now. But he will face his toughest challenge yet in the form of The Beast Incarnate.

The biggest question heading into this battle is Paul Heyman's loyalty. Lesnar has done an incredible job with his mind games, making Reigns doubt whether Heyman is really by his side.

Many fans are wondering whether Paul Heyman will turn on Roman Reigns to go back to his previous client. As interesting as that would be, it might not be the best idea in the longer run. Brock Lesnar should not become the Universal Champion at Crown Jewel.

However, Heyman should definitely be involved in the match in some manner. How? By helping Reigns defeat Lesnar, thus proving his loyalty to his Tribal Chief. If the plan is to have the two face each other again at WrestleMania 38, WWE could always pick this angle up from here, claiming that it was all part of The Beast Incarnate's plan.

#4 Shayna Baszler gets added to the Queen's Crown tournament final at the last moment

Crown Jewel 2021 is set to feature the finals of the inaugural Queen's Crown tournament. While many were expecting Shayna Baszler to make it to the finals with ease, Doudrop picked up an upset victory over her in the semi-finals on this week's RAW. She is now set to face Zelina Vega in the final this Thursday night.

Last week on SmackDown, we saw Sonya Deville form an interesting alliance with Shayna Baszler, who helped her defeat Naomi in her return match. Considering Deville has been an on-screen authority figure, we might see Baszler demand her to add her back to the tournament.

We might see Sonya Deville make a very last-minute announcement, adding Shayna Baszler to the Queen's Crown tournament finals, making it a triple threat.

#3 AJ Styles splits up with Omos at WWE Crown Jewel 2021

The RAW Tag Team Championships will be on the line at Crown Jewel this Thursday as Randy Orton and Riddle will defend their titles against the team of AJ Styles and Omos.

While the pairing of Styles and Omos was an interesting move initially, it has gone a bit stale now. It is highly unlikely that WWE will put the tag titles back on them at Crown Jewel and this might be the last title shot they get.

We might just see the team split up following the match, with either The Phenomenal One kicking Omos out or the latter attacking Styles in frustration.

#2 Goldberg announces his entry into the 2022 men's Royal Rumble match

Goldberg is set to face Bobby Lashley at Crown Jewel in a No Holds Barred match. The build-up to this match has been great, with the Hall of Famer cutting some really intense non-PG promos, repeatedly warning Lashley that he will "kill" him at the pay-per-view. With Goldberg returning to avenge his son, he definitely heads into this bout as the favorite.

Following the match, he could tease retirement only to make a major announcement about entering next year's Royal Rumble match. This would be a great way to already create some hype around the show.

It makes storyline sense as Goldberg has unfinished business with Universal Champion Roman Reigns. He would also want to get another shot at the WWE Championship after failing to win the title at SummerSlam.

#1 Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch swap their titles at WWE Crown Jewel 2021

The recently concluded WWE Draft 2021 has made the women's title scene on both main roster brands, to say the least, confusing. RAW Women's Champion Charlotte Flair has been drafted to the Blue brand while SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch has been drafted to Red brand.

At Crown Jewel 2021, Lynch will be defending her title against Sasha Banks (SmackDown) and Bianca Belair (RAW). Recent reports suggest that The Man would likely be retaining her SmackDown Women's Championship at the event.

To deal with this confusing situation, we might see Charlotte Flair make an appearance at the end of this clash at Crown Jewel and swap her title Becky Lynch.
