Goldberg vs. Bobby Lashley in a No Holds Barred Match - WWE Crown Jewel 2021
Raw's most personal rivalry going into WWE Crown Jewel 2021 is between former WWE Champion Bobby Lashley and WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg. Ahead of SummerSlam 2021, the two men were on a collision course for the WWE Championship. Lashley dominated the contest at the event, which led to a referee stoppage when Goldberg couldn't continue after the damage to his leg.
Following the match, Lashley continued the beatdown on his opponent. Goldberg's son Gage came in the ring and jumped on The All Mighty's back. Lashley flipped him over and put on the Hurt Lock, which angered Goldberg. The WWE Hall of Famer has challenged Bobby Lashley to a No Holds Barred Match.

Goldberg threatened to kill his opponent at Crown Jewel 2021. It gets across how bitter this feud has become, but it also feels very extreme. The rivalry has been ongoing for several months now and will be its final blowoff in Saudi Arabia, but the death threats haven't increased the interest heading into the bout.
Big E vs. Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship - WWE Crown Jewel 2021
Big E will defend the WWE Championship for the first time on pay-per-view at Crown Jewel 2021. He will face former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre. The New Day member concluded his feud with Bobby Lashley in a steel cage victory over the All Mighty on the September 27th, 2021 episode of Raw. Drew McIntyre came out afterwards to let Big E know that he was coming after the title.
McIntyre lost to Bobby Lashley at Hell In A Cell 2021 in a match where he could never get another shot at the gold against the All Mighty. Now that Lashley has lost the title, it opens the door for the Scottish Warrior's opportunity at Crown Jewel 2021. Over the past few weeks, Big E and Drew McIntyre have expressed their respect for one another and even teamed together.
On the October 11th, 2021 episode of Raw, the two men couldn't coexist, leading to a loss against SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos by countout. The show ended with McIntyre nailing Big E with the Claymore. This should be a competitive showdown, but the buildup hasn't set the world on fire.
