Among the political tension and the ongoing debate regarding whether Crown Jewel should take place in Saudi Arabia, WWE has once again shown its bold spirit by moving forward with this event. Many Superstars have openly supported this event and are seeing the upcoming PPV as a symbol of change.
Raw is going to crown a new Universal Champion at Crown Jewels after Roman Reigns has relinquished the championship in order to defeat Leukemia. This has resulted in a one-on-one match between Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar, a match which is highly anticipated by the wrestling fans around the planet.
The Brothers of Destruction are going to face the Generation-X in a legendary tag-team match. Although both these teams have been pioneers in WWE, they have never faced each other. It will be a historic night in Riyadh as Shawn Michaels is going to put his retirement on hold and lace his boots to compete once again.
The wrestling world is buzzing with the possible outcomes of the matches. So here are the complete result predictions for the upcoming event.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#5 DX defeats the Brothers of Destruction as Kane gets pinned, Undertaker attacks HBK after the match
Out of all the possible matches which Shawn Michaels could have on his return, he has decided to wear the green and partner with his best friend, Triple H, to take on the team of the Undertaker and Kane.
Last week on Raw, the Showstopper tried to gain an upper hand by successfully delivering some sweet chin music to the Deadman. However, the Undertaker gazed DX with his icy cold eyes as the cameras stopped rolling for the show.
There are speculations that the Undertaker and Shawn Michaels are scripted to face each other at WrestleMania 35. Thus, this tag-team match is going to be a stepping stone to achieve that. The night could end with Kane getting some sweet chin music from HBK as the Generation-X makes a successful comeback. However, the celebration could be short-lived as the Deadman attacks HBK after the match to continue the rivalry.
#4 The Bar retains the SD tag team championships in a six-man tag match
Sheamus and Cesaro won the tag-team championships a couple of weeks ago, thanks to the Big Show. Notably, the giant not only made his presence felt while the match was in progress, but delivered a massive ChokeSlam to Kofi Kingston.
With the newly found ally, the odds are now even as the Bar faces the New Day. The Bar recently won the championships at the 1000th episode of SmackDown Live and there is no reason to believe that they are going to lose it on such a short notice.
Hence, the New Day won’t have the kind of day which they will be expecting to have on Friday, and will not be able to win back the championships in their rematch. The match can be contested by all the members on both the teams making it a six-man tag match.
#3 AJ Styles defends the WWE Championship in a classic match
SmackDown Live witnessed an impromptu match between AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship. Notably, the Phenomenal One won the match by forcing the Yes! Man to submit to the Calf Crusher.
Interestingly, Samoa Joe attacked both these men from behind after the match was over. This has resulted in a WWE Championship match between the champion and the Samoan at the Crown Jewel. Although this might have come as Daniel Bryan won’t be willing to go to Riyadh, the newly scheduled match is the one which the fans won’t want to miss.
The participants from Friday have faced each other for a couple of times in the past, where Styles has always come out on the top. Hence, it is obvious that WWE won’t want him to drop the championship, especially so close to Survivor Series. Notably, Styles won the championship just before this PPV last year by defeating Jinder Mahal.
#2 Dolph Ziggler wins the World Cup tournament
Eight competitors will be vying to make their name synonymous with the Best in the World. The participants in this match are Kurt Angle, Dolph Ziggler, Seth Rollins, Bobby Lashley, Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton, Jeff Hardy, and the Miz.
The final is going to be a preview for the Survivor Series as it will also become a Raw vs. SmackDown Live match for the coveted prize. Hence, this match can also be seen as the kick-off for the next PPV, and the Superstars from winning show can greet the winner after the match.
Check out the complete predictions for the WWE World Cup tournament, where the final could possibly take place between Dolph Ziggler from Raw and Jeff Hardy from SmackDown Live. The bracket offers a couple of great matches for the night and might have a few surprises from the Superstars who couldn’t qualify for the tournament.
#1 Universal Championship remains vacated
Roman Reigns relinquished the Universal Championship to pursue his courageous battle with Leukemia, the championship he won after pinning Brock Lesnar for the first time in their rivalry. This has resulted in a one-on-one match between Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman.
In the recent few weeks, Braun Strowman has been involved in a feud with Drew McIntyre. The rivalry looks intense and appears to be something that WWE will be willing to elongate further. Notably, the Scottish Superstar also doesn’t have a match on Crown Jewel.
Hence, it is quite possible that he decides to take the matters into his own hands and attack both the competitors in this match. Not only will this help WWE to protect Brock Lesnar from losing in a clean pinfall, but will also protect WWE itself from having a part-time Universal Champion. This would indeed be the best for business.
