WWE Crown Jewel: 3 Superstars who can't afford to lose at the PPV

#2 Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar beat Kofi Kingston on SmackDown's FOX premiere to win the WWE Championship. Before he could celebrate his victory, Cain Velasquez and Rey Mysterio came to the ring and it was clear that we were going to see Velasquez vs Lesnar in the near future.

Why Brock Lesnar can't lose his match

Both Superstars have already faced each other, not in WWE, but UFC and that was 9 years ago. At that time, Lesnar had lost his fight to Velasquez who then became the new UFC Heavyweight Champion. However, this is WWE and things work differently here.

Lesnar is the WWE Champion and it doesn't seem likely that Vince McMahon will let him lose his title this early. Even though Velasquez is a big name, the wrestling fans are still not much invested in him.

Also, it'd be bad to hand him the WWE Title in his very first match in the company. If Lesnar loses then it will severely hurt his character. He has already lost two big matches in WWE this year and his victory over Kingston will be wasted if he gets defeated at Crown Jewel. FOX needs someone to lead the Blue brand and that person, at the moment, is Lesnar.
