4 Predictions for Crown Jewel 2019
One of the most highly anticipated pay-per-views of the year, WWE Crown Jewel, is just around the corner. Scheduled for October 31st, 2019, the show will emanate from King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
WWE has already announced six high profile clashes for the event. From 'The Beast' Brock Lesnar defending his WWE Championship against Cain Velasquez to Braun Strowman taking on boxer Tyson Fury, the event boasts of a star-studded match card.
Creative has also announced a huge 10-Man Tag Team Match between Team Hogan (Captain Roman Reigns, Rusev, Ricochet, Ali, Shorty G) and Team Flair (Captain Randy Orton, King Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley, WWE Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura and Drew McIntyre). Also announced for the show is Seth Rollins vs The Fiend in a Falls Count Anywhere Match for the WWE Universal Championship. Additionally, there will be a Tag Team Turmoil Match for the WWE World Cup.
Given the match card, there is no denying the fact that Crown Jewel promises to be an epic event. With the show just around the corner, the Internet is buzzing with speculations and predictions.
To feed into this widespread curiosity, here are my 4 key predictions for Crown Jewel.
#4 Tyson Fury defeats Braun Strowman in 6-7 minutes
Tyson Fury and Braun Strowman engaged in a heated altercation at SmackDown's FOX debut after 'The Monster Among Men' taunted the boxer. This soon turned into a huge brawl at the very next episode of Monday Night RAW, resulting in WWE booking an enormous matchup between the two for Crown Jewel.
Given this was done mainly to promote 'The Gypsy King's' next boxing match against Deontay Wilder, the result of Fury vs Strowman seems like a no-brainer.
Expect Strowman to dominate the early parts of the match only for Fury to prevail over 'The Monster among Men' in the end. Also, don't get too comfortable watching. This should be a quick one. The match will likely last 6-7 minutes, since a lengthy bout could end up exposing Fury's lack of professional wrestling expertise.
