#2 Poor booking

All things considered, Crown Jewel seemed like a poorly booked show. A stacked card with short matches would have been better.

One of the main features of the show was the World Cup tournament. WWE in the preceding weeks had built it up on Raw and SmackDown as being so prestigious that it would determine "the best in the world".

Having Shane McMahon not take part in the tournament from the start, but take the place of the injured Miz in the final, and win it, completely destroyed the credibility of the tournament.

The match for the vacant Universal Championship between Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman did not live up to the hype. In the match, Strowman who has so far been booked as an unstoppable force, was beaten by Lesnar in just over 3 minutes. Albeit with an assist from Baron Corbin, one would expect Strowman to give a better account of himself, given how WWE has built him up.
