Step 4) The Miz vs Jeff Hardy
– Quarterfinals (Smackdown Bracket)
The final first-round match on the Smackdown side of things will be the Miz vs Jeff Hardy. These two put on a fun match several weeks ago so I am expecting another one at Crown Jewel.
I think that the Miz is going to advance here. I see Miz moving into to the WWE Championship picture over the next few months, so I think it makes sense for him to beat Hardy here to gain some momentum. To me, it doesn’t really serve any purpose for Hardy beating the Miz in this spot.
Outcome: The Miz advances
Step 5) Seth Rollins vs Kurt Angle
– Semi-finals (RAW Bracket)
If my previous steps happen in the RAW bracket, it would lead us to Kurt Angle vs Seth Rollins. I have a feeling that WWE will book this dream match. It was teased in the WWE 2k video game commercial last year. Also, I would be pissed if WWE gave us Rollins vs Ziggler in this spot, especially since we have seen it so many times recently. Angle vs Rollins would be a fun match and one that we probably won’t get the chance to see again.
I have Seth advancing to the finals here.
Outcome: Rollins advances
Step 6) Rey Mysterio vs The Miz
– Semi-finals (Smackdown Bracket)
If my previous steps happen in the Smackdown bracket, it would lead us to Rey Mysterio vs The Miz in the semi-finals. I would say that this would be a fun match for the card.
My gut says that Mysterio will win to advance though. You could make the argument for the Miz winning but I think that it will be Mysterio advancing to the finals.
Outcome: Mysterio advances
