WWE Crown Jewel 2018: Full Match Predictions and Analysis

#4 A.J. Styles (C) Vs. Samoa Joe for the WWE Championship

One more time for the Samoan

A lot of the fans were perplexed by how the company would address John Cena and Daniel Bryan's reluctance to perform at the Crown Jewel event, and while the Cenation Leader's replacement felt illogical, the blue brand did something special tonight.

Samoa Joe's intervention in the feud has certainly brought some much-needed rejuvenation and could coerce the company to build a triple-threat feud heading into the upcoming events.

Since the Samoan attacked both the competitors after they delivered a stunning bout, the Phenomenal One's urge to square off against the Destroyer again could prove dangerous.

There's no denying that the company finds themselves in a tough spot now, and while going forward with A.J. Styles could be a great option, putting the title on Samoa Joe could have a lasting impression.

Defeating the WWE Champion is a now or never situation for the former NXT Champion, and while this might not be the popular opinion, I am taking the risk in this case and putting my money on Samoa Joe for the WWE Championship,

If logical booking is anything to take into consideration, winning the WWE Championship could open a lot of possibilities for the blue brand in the coming weeks, and would also give light to a possible showdown between Samoa Joe and Brock Lesnar, or Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman.

Prediction: Samoa Joe wins the WWE Championship
