Crown Jewel 2019: 5 biggest questions from the pay-per-view

#2 Was that really a grudge match?

There was much more action after the match than during it

A rivalry that began in the Octagon, and spilled over to the squared circle finally got going on Thursday Night.

Brock Lesnar wanted to avenge his loss in the Octagon from Cain Velasquez, while Cain was after Lesnar’s WWE Championship and also wanted to avenge the Lesnar’s attacks on Rey Mysterio and his son. The storyline was well written, the heavyweights were in place, but the booking was all over the place.

Once Lesnar managed to target Cain’s knee, he trapped him in a Kimura lock for a quick tap out win. Was that all the two men could offer to the Saudi Arabian crowd and the WWE Universe after all that build up? Was that really a grudge match?

After the dust settled, it seems like the entire big match was just a set up for a future smaller match between Rey Mysterio and Brock Lesnar. It was interesting, yet confusing, to see the smaller Mysterio do a better job against The Beast than the man who scarred Lesnar’s face.

With The Fiend winning the Universal Championship, we could see RAW pick Lesnar in order to bring him and his WWE Championship to the Red Brand. In that case, it seems like a Lesnar vs Mysterio storyline will keep the fans pumped for weeks to come.
