WWE Crown Jewel 2021: Full match-card predictions

#1 Roman Reigns (c) vs. Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at WWE Crown Jewel 2021

The second match, and the most likely main event of the show, announced for Crown Jewel 2021 is that for the Universal Championship. Roman Reigns will be defending his title against arch-rival Brock Lesnar at the pay-per-view. This would be Lesnar's first match in WWE after nearly 18 months since his WrestleMania 36 match against Drew McIntyre.

While the two have faced each other multiple times in the past, the dynamics are completely different this time as The Tribal Chief is the heel while The Beast Incarnate is the babyface. The inclusion of Paul Heyman in the angle and Lesnar hilariously trying to put a rift between him and Reigns has made for some entertaining segments.

Roman Reigns would be facing his biggest challenge yet as the Universal Champion at the upcoming event. However, it's unlikely that WWE will take the title off him and put it on Lesnar.

For all we know, he might go on yet another hiatus after Crown Jewel, returning around WrestleMania next year. Reigns has faced and defeated multiple legends this year, and Brock Lesnar might just be the next in line to acknowledge him.

Prediction: Roman Reigns retains his Universal Championship
