Fantasy Booking : How Triple H Would Have Booked WWE Crown Jewel

#4 A.J. Styles (C) Vs. Jeff Hardy for the WWE Championship

Jeff Hardy could have been an ideal replacement for Daniel Bryan

With Daniel Bryan refusing to work Crown Jewel, the creative team were coerced to bring Samoa Joe back into the frame and reignite his heated rivalry with A.J. Styles.

While the Destroyer's encounter with the Phenomenal One could be a thing of beauty, not winning the title again will definitely hurt Samoa Joe and might depreciate his credibility as a main event threat.

In such a situation, the Game could have relied on someone who is a more established name on the blue brand and a veteran in the WWE that can put the Phenomenal One over.

Moreover, a mystery man attacking Daniel Bryan and not allowing him to compete at Crown Jewel could have been a solid story to move forward and could have been a long-term storyline, culminating at WrestleMania.

Since the Miz stands as an ideal mystery man after he quickly lost to the Beard at Super Show Down, Jeff Hardy filling his spot could have led to a thriller in Saudi Arabia.

Both the competitors share a lot of history together and can carry each other to a 30-minute classic at any event they participate. The match could have been impressive and would have brought some much-needed attention to the WWE Championship and Daniel Bryan's story going forward.

Prediction: A.J. Styles retains the WWE Championship in a classic
