WWE  Crown Jewel 2021: 5 things that can happen at the PPV

2. Big E will retain the WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre

Will Big E overcome a former WWE Champion?

After retaining his WWE Championship against Bobby Lashley a couple of weeks ago on RAW, Big E was quickly confronted by his next challenger. After not being able to challenge for the WWE Championship after losing to Lashley at Hell in a Cell, Drew McIntyre wasted no time in challenging for the title again.

McIntyre is a good first challenger for Big E. McIntyre held the WWE Championship for the majority of 2020 and the beginning of 2021. He is just the type of guy that can give Big E a nice rub.

This feud also has juice to it. McIntyre moved to SmackDown in the WWE Draft, so this will be his only shot to win the WWE Championship. We finally have the badass babyface McIntyre that fans got behind in early 2020. McIntyre has tons of motivation heading into this match and will throw everything at Big E to win the title back.

With that said, the outcome will see Big E retain the WWE Championship. With McIntyre heading to SmackDown and likely feuding with Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship, there is no need for him to defeat Big E.

Meanwhile, Big E just won the title and is on a collision course with Reigns in a Champion vs. Champion match at Survivor Series next month. McIntyre has been losing more often lately and can afford to take one here.
