... and you thought Crown Jewel 2019 won't be interesting

#1 Hit – The Fiend

After the disastrous end to their match at Hell in a Cell, The Fiend and Seth Rollins sought redemption with their Universal Championship match at Crown Jewel. Both these Superstars were brilliant in the match. Having said that, I must add that the creatives deserve special accolades for booking The Fiend as the unbeatable beast.

From surviving Curb Stomps right to the back of his head to being put through exploding equipment, The Fiend took enough punishment. But he was not ready to bow down to the ‘BeastSlayer’.

After toiling with his opponent’s mind and spirit for some time, The Fiend finally took down Rollins with the help of ‘Sister Abigail’.

He is now the Universal Champion but interestingly, he is still a member of the SmackDown roster.

It will be fun to see how WWE works out this entire situation since the wild card rule no longer exists. In addition, Bray Wyatt is set to appear on The Miz TV which will provide more clarity on the entire situation.

This result may also cause Rollins to turn heel which will definitely spar excitement amidst the fans who had started to get weary of his babyface gimmick. It will be exciting to see how this feud moves forward.
