WWE took a risk with two unpredictable matches at Crown Jewel this year, the first came when Cain Velasquez challenged Brock Lesnar for the WWE title in Velasquez's first match inside a WWE ring.

The second risky bout came when Tyson Fury challenged The Monster Among Men, Braun Strowman, to a singles match, which would also be a first for the boxing Champion.

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

The first of the two matches fared much better, with Cain Velasquez and Brock Lesnar working an MMA/shoot style match playing off their time in UFC and as contenders to the Heavyweight Championship.

The second bout, however, did more to expose Tyson Fury's lack of pro wrestling knowledge than it did to emphasize his abilities as a fighter, and neither Fury nor Braun Strowman emerged from the bout looking any stronger.

While the finish of the match was well executed, with Tyson Fury picking up a win via count out when Braun Strowman could not return to the ring after taking a punch which knocked him to the outside, the bout itself felt out of place and unnecessary.
