WWE Crown Jewel 2018: Analysing and grading each match

Kurt Angle vs Dolph Ziggler

Who would join Miz and Mysterio?

Match: This was always going to be a classic. With Ziggler's amateur wrestling background and, well, Angle's needs absolutely zero hyperbole to hype his technique, this was always destined to be a match for the wrestling purists.

That is until you add the X factor in the form of Drew McIntyre. A seven-foot X factor.

The match, though, did kick off in true amateur style and looked to progress that way. One of the coolest spots was when Kurt Angle had Dolph Ziggler outside the ropes and tried to suplex The Show-Off onto the mat from the ring. Ziggler countered, though, and Angle ate some steel steps for his innovative troubles

Ziggler would utilise some sleeper holds before being caught for the Angle Slam - but the Show-Off managed to kick out! Angle locked in the Angle Lock, but Ziggler countered before slamming Angle into the turnbuckle and hitting the Zig-Zag for the win!

Verdict: This was undoubtedly one of the surprises of the night. I mean, Dolph Ziggler winning wasn't a huge surprise - but a clean win?! Wow! Incredible match, though, and gave the rest of the night a true standard to try to live up to.

Grade: B+
