#4. Randy Orton returns to aid Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel

One potential scenario for the conclusion of the Rhodes vs. Priest match at the upcoming PLE could involve the long-awaited comeback of Randy Orton. With the possibility of the Judgment Day intervening in the match to assist their faction member, the Viper's return could serve to even the odds and aid his old friend. This could result in Cody Rhodes securing a victory over Damian Priest.

Randy Orton's return would undoubtedly generate excitement among fans, and his involvement in a feud against the villainous faction would add further anticipation to his awaited comeback.

#3. Rhea Ripley could betray Damian Priest

Another potential ending for this highly anticipated clash could involve Rhea Ripley turning on Priest, ultimately costing him the match. The potential reason for this unexpected move might be to solidify JD McDonagh as a permanent member of the faction, and this could be done by replacing Priest in the faction.

However, despite the potential logic behind this scenario, it remains highly unlikely to unfold as both Priest and Balor are currently holding the Undisputed Tag Team titles, suggesting a strong alliance within the faction.

#2. Jey Uso attacks Damian Priest at Crown Jewel

Jey Uso recently suffered a loss at the hands of Damian Priest after a distraction from Finn Balor. Seeking revenge against the Judgment Day member, Jey could launch an attack on Priest during his match against the American Nightmare. Considering that both Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso recently held the Undisputed Tag Team titles by dethroning the villainous faction, Jey attacking Priest appears to be a logical move.

Moreover, the former Right Hand Man could also offer assistance to Rhodes in case other members of the Judgment Day attempt to interfere in the match.

#1. Damian Priest wins and injures Cody Rhodes

Another potential ending at Crown Jewel could involve Damian Priest surprising everyone by defeating the American Nightmare by taking advantage of the injured leg that seemingly appeared on RAW. However, following the match, Priest could continue to assault Rhodes, possibly leading to the latter taking a hiatus.

A victory against Cody would help the company showcase Priest as a strong star ahead of his potential Money in the Bank cash-in in the near future.
