Heading into WWE Crown Jewel 2018, the WWE Universal Championship was vacant.

Former champion Roman Reigns defeated Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam in August to capture the Universal Title. Several weeks later, Braun Strowman cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to challenge Reigns for the title at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view.

Cody Rhodes' uncle is a WWE Hall of Famer. More details HERE.

Lesnar returned during the match and attacked both superstars, leading to a no contest. This set up a Universal Championship triple threat match for the Crown Jewel pay-per-view.

However, on the October 22 edition of Monday Night RAW, Roman Reigns relinquished the tile. The Big Dog announced that his leukemia had returned after being in remission since 2008.

With the title vacant, the match was turned into a singles match between Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman for the Universal Championship.

At the event, Acting RAW General Manager Baron Corbin attacked Braun Strowman with the belt before the match began. Lesnar followed this with three F5's on The Monster Among men, resulting in three nearfalls.

John Morrison returned to WWE for the first time in nine years when he signed with the company in 2020.

The former Intercontinental Champion was quickly reunited with his former tag team partner The Miz on Friday Night SmackDown.

Miz and Morrison quickly began feuding with SmackDown Tag Team Champions The New Day. This led to a tile match being announced for WWE Super ShowDown in February.

At the event, Miz and Morrison squared off with Big E and Kofi Kingston, who were representing The New Day.

The closing moments of the match saw The Miz hit Big E with a Skull Crushing Finale. However, this only received a near fall. Morrison followed this up by hitting Kofi Kingston with a steel chair, allowing Miz to roll up Kingston and win the match for his team.

This was the first time that The Miz and John Morisson had held the SmackDown Tag Team Championships.
