Braun Strowman faced off against boxer Tyson Fury at Crown Jewel, which was Fury's debut match in the WWE. The Monster Among Men was the overwhelming favourite to win the match before the PPV as Fury had never featured in a WWE match.

But, Fury won by countout after landing a nasty right hand to Strowman's face, which resulted in Strowman laying outside the ring and not able to get back inside the ring. That was possibly the best way to end the match as Fury wasn't quite making himself look good in the ring.

Following the match, Strowman attacked Fury, which hinted at a possible heel turn for Strowman. Babyfaces don't attack their opponents after a loss, so it was surprising to see Strowman attack Fury.

Strowman is not a white-meat babyface, which allows him to show heelish tendencies, but it feels like Strowman has reached the tipping point and we could see him turn heel for good following Crown Jewel.
