Veteran NFL author and Pat McAfee Present correspondent Mark Kaboly provides his WWE Crown Jewel predictions for Saturday’s PLE (1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT) occasion in Saudi Arabia.
Roman Reigns & The Usos vs. The Bloodline – Six-Man Tag Group Match
Lastly, Reigns and The Usos are on the identical web page … or are they? Reigns nonetheless has that burning need to be the Tribal Chief and chief of The Bloodline. Jey Uso’s priorities now are about persevering with his burgeoning solo profession that obtained him his first Singles title whereas Jimmy tries to play moderator via all of it. This has catastrophe written throughout it for Reigns and The Usos if they will’t discover some type of frequent floor, particularly in opposition to the sure-to-be numbers-heavy and ruthless Solo Sikoa and the remainder of The Bloodline. Reigns would be the key to all of this working (or not working.) Reigns has had one match since dropping his Undisputed WWE Title at WrestleMania and we nonetheless don’t know precisely if his allegiance is to reuniting the household or if he’s actually simply looking for himself. No matter what occurs, this isn’t going to be settled at Crown Jewel. However can the trio maintain it collectively till Survivor Collection: WarGames and past or will Crown Jewel derail every part?
Prediction: The Bloodline with outdoors interference.
Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs. World Heavyweight Champion Gunther
Nice vs. Nice. Whether or not you are rooting for Cody Rhodes or Gunther or not shouldn’t take away from the truth that these are certainly two of the highest Superstars in the WWE proper now and the 2 could make an insurance coverage seminar attention-grabbing contained in the ring or on the mic. Add in that every hit a nerve with a few of their latest promos, this match has some potential zing connected to it. On this battle of reverse types, Gunther has the bodily benefit however you possibly can’t depend out Rhodes’ coronary heart and dedication. That is the last word bragging rights matchup with the winner taking dwelling that monster Crown Jewel Championship. With neither one among these two ever dealing with off in a singles match earlier than, this ought to be one from begin to end.
Prediction: Gunther by way of pin with outdoors assist from Kevin Owens
WWE Ladies’s Champion Nia Jax vs. Ladies’s World Champion Liv Morgan
The probabilities are countless with this match with regards to some type of outdoors interference from a number of completely different individuals and/or factions. Nonetheless, the match is rather like the Males’s Crown Jewel match — a battle of reverse types favoring Jax. Jax has been on an incredible run and Morgan has held the title for greater than 5 months herself. However it’ll certainly come right down to one thing from outdoors forces. And has there been anyone who does it higher than discovering a method to come out on prime than Morgan? One thing tells me that Tiffany Stratton would be the largest affect in all of this.
Prediction: Morgan wins by way of pin. Stratton cashes in her Cash within the Financial institution.
United States Champion LA Knight vs. Andrade vs. Carmelo Hayes (Triple Risk Match)
There’s nothing like a Recreation 7 — that’s what they are saying, proper? However LA Knight ruined it for each WWE followers in addition to Superstars Carmelo and Andrade by unnecessarily inserting himself into what was speculated to be the conclusion of arguably the most effective sequence of matches that we’ve ever seen. Knight ought to have loads of confidence to retain the title he’s held since SummerSlam (like confidence has ever been a difficulty for Knight?” Out of Knight’s 4 title defenses, he’s overwhelmed each Andrade and Hayes in singles matches and laid each of them out throughout final week’s SmackDown as visitor referee. Knight is the favourite however you can not depend out both of his opponents to win and add slightly extra warmth to SmackDown the place the meat between the three can proceed in some vogue.
Prediction: Hayes wins by pinning Andrade
WWE Ladies’s Tag Group Champions Jade Cargill & Bianca Belair vs. Kairi Sane & IYO SKY vs. Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson vs. Chelsea Inexperienced & Piper Niven (Deadly 4-Approach Tag Group Match)
On paper, Belair and Cargill ought to win this match and retain the WWE Ladies’s Tag Group Championship, however you can not sleep on Injury CTRL with Kairi Sane and IYO SKY. The duo has the expertise of profitable titles holding the tag champs two separate occasions earlier than. Nonetheless, Cargill and Belair need to be the heavy favorites. Now, there’s going to return a time within the not-so-distant future when Cargill and Belair go their separate methods and make a declare for a Singles title however there hasn’t even been a slight indication which may happen not to mention in a match as huge because the Deadly 4-Approach so what would trigger that now? Outdoors interference?
Prediction: IYO SKY pins Chelsea Inexperienced as Injury CTRL wins the WWE Ladies’s Tag Group titles.
Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens
Now that escalated rapidly. Not way back Owens and Orton had been thick as thieves and tag group companions and now they will’t wait to get after one another within the ring. Owens attacked Rhodes within the car parking zone after which Orton the next week however I can’t get out of my thoughts what Triple H stated to Orton final week after the Chief Content material Officer lastly relented and made the match. Triple H instructed Orton, “Randy, from this second ahead I counsel you defend your self always.” This one may get very ugly for the “Apex Predator” to the purpose that we’d not hear from him for a while.
Prediction: Owens wins by way of pin then proceeds to unload on him making him incapacitated.
Seth “Freakin” Rollins vs. ‘Large’ Bronson Reed
This complete rivalry has been primarily based on brutality. It began with six Tsunamis adopted by Rollins stomping Reed’s head into the metal steps to value him the Final Monster Standing match in opposition to Braun Strowman. It culminated with the car parking zone battle at Uncooked. If this turns into one other brawl, you must love Reed’s probabilities. Whether it is extra of a cerebral match, Rollins will come out victorious. With the lead-up, this match will little question be extra brutal than something we have seen but. Rollins can survive a defeat as a result of he’s a longtime Famous person. Reed wants this extra and can method it like so.
Prediction: Rollins pins Reed however solely after surviving a radical beatdown
