One of the marquee matches of the WWE Crown Jewel event will be for the Universal Championship. Roman Reigns will be putting his Title on the line against Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman.
So what is going to happen in this match? Let’s speculate a little bit.
The way that I see it going down is Braun and Brock going back and forth near the end of the match. Both guys are kicking the crap out of one another and trying to get the upper hand. Braun will eventually hit Brock with a running powerslam, where it looks like he is going to win the Title. Out of nowhere comes Drew McIntyre (and possibly Dolph Ziggler), who distracts Braun. Roman hits a spear on Strowman to retain the Title.
I think this type of finish accomplishes a few things. The first is that it protects Braun from taking a clean loss. This also sets us up for a Braun vs Drew feud over the next few months, which I think could be really good. It also plants some seeds for maybe a Brock vs Braun match at Wrestlemania 35 if WWE wants to go that route. That is why I mentioned Braun and Brock going back and forth during the match.
As for Roman Reigns, this allows him to move on to a new feud. He will potentially face the WWE Champion at Survivor Series (if WWE is doing Champion vs Champion matches). Then, he needs something fresh for TLC and beyond.
That is how I see it going down. What about you? Let me know in the comment section below.
