5 Interferences that can happen at Crown Jewel: Former WWE Champion returns, Superstar brings back forgotten gimmick and attacks Wyatt

WWE's next extravaganza coming from Saudi Arabia, Crown Jewel, is set to air on 31st October. The show boasts a stacked card and will see both the World Championships being defended.

While Seth Rollins will defend the Universal Championship against Bray Wyatt in a Falls Count Anywhere match, Brock Lesnar will face Cain Velasquez for the WWE Championship.

While historically the Saudi shows have been underwhelming, Crown Jewel 2019 looks like a great card on paper and WWE will surely have some surprises up their sleeves to impress the fans.

Let us take a look at 5 plausible interferences that will take place during the matches at Crown Jewel:

---

#5 Sheamus (Cesaro vs Mansoor)

The Celtic Warrior and former WWE Champion has been out of action since the SmackDown after WrestleMania this year where Sheamus had suffered a concussion during a 6-man tag team match against The New Day.

Before taking a sabbatical due to his injury issues Sheamus was part of a tag team with SmackDown Superstar Cesaro, who called their tag team The Bar. Cesaro's singles career has not exactly taken off ever since Sheamus left his side and Crown Jewel would be the perfect place to finally reunite the tag-team.

Sheamus could interrupt the match between Cesaro and Mansoor helping his partner pick up a win against the native Superstar. While having a newcomer like Mansoor beat Cesaro would certainly hamper The Swiss Cyborg's credibility, WWE would not want to hand Mansoor a clean defeat in what is likely the biggest match of his career, and so, Cesaro winning with the help of a trusted ally would be perfect.

Reports have revealed that Sheamus has been cleared to wrestle, so it wouldn't be surprising if the former Royal Rumble winner finally makes his return.

#4 The OC ( AJ Styles vs ???)

This one should be a no-brainer. AJ Styles is scheduled to compete against the winner of the pre-show Battle Royale in a match for his US Championship.

While The Phenomenal One certainly doesn't need any help to win a match, his running buddies, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson will surely get involved in the match and help Styles retain the US Championship regardless of which Superstar earns the opportunity to face him.

#3 Matt Hardy (Seth Rollins vs Bray Wyatt)

Matt Hardy has not been seen on WWE television for quite some time even though the veteran is actively performing at live events. The former ECW Champion has hinted on his social media that he plans to bring back his 'Broken' gimmick when he returns, which he has teased will be soon.

Wyatt and Hardy have had a long history together - as friends as well as foes. Even with The Fiend's current popularity, it is highly doubtful that WWE will hand him the Universal Championship at Crown Jewel, especially because he is a SmackDown Superstar now.

So having Matt Hardy make his return and cost The Fiend his match would not only help Rollins take the Universal Championship back to RAW but would also give the fans a remarkable feud between two of the most Bizzare and unique characters in WWE history - The Fiend and The Broken Matt Hardy.

#2 Rey Mysterio (Lesnar vs Velasquez)

While it is Cain Velasquez who will be facing Brock Lesnar a Crown Jewel, the feud between the two does not merely revolve around their history in UFC, but rather, Lesnar's brutal assault on Rey Mysterio and his son.

Mysterio had brought in Dominick's 'godfather' Cain Velasquez to WWE to take revenge on The Beast Incarnate for attacking his son. While the match between Velasquez and Lesnar is sure to be an all-out brawl, it would not make any sense to leave the master of 619 completely out of the equation.

Mysterio will most likely accompany Velasquez to the ring for his first-ever WWE match at Crown Jewel, and while Mysterio - who is a babyface - is not one to meddle in other people's matches, the scenario is quite different this time, and the veteran will certainly try to get involved and cost Lesnar the match.

Reports have suggested that WWE is planning a 'schmoz' finish for the match and one way to go about it would be having Lesnar taunt Mysterio during the match leading to him losing his cool and going after Lesnar during the match causing a DQ finish.

#1 Kofi Kingston (Lesnar vs Velasquez)

There was a time when KofiMania was running wild in WWE. It took Brock Lesnar less than 10 seconds to destroy Kofi Kingston and his dreams of retaining the WWE Championship when The Beast won the title from Kingston on the first episode of SmackDown on FOX.

While Lesnar has since been busy dealing with Mysterio and Velasquez, Kingston has resumed his role as a tag team specialist teaming with Big E as part of The New Day. Though it is understandable that WWE wanted to grab more eyeballs by having Velasquez enter a program against Lesnar, a lot of the fans are upset at the way Kingston has been treated ever since he lost the World Championship - almost as if he had never won it.

There has been speculation that WWE may be planning a long-term storyline with Kingston where he begins his ascent to regain the WWE Championship yet again, and what better place to start than Crown Jewel.

Kingston could interfere in the match causing a DQ. The New Day member could then rant about how he deserved the Championship shot instead of Cain. Not only will this help WWE come out of the corner they have backed themselves into, but also give Kofi's character the edge required to go to the next level.
