WWE Crown Jewel: 3 Reasons why Brock Lesnar will retain his WWE Championship
To ensure that SmackDown's debut on FOX became an unforgettable experience, WWE booked several great segments and matches for the show. During the main event, Brock Lesnar faced Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship in a squash match, where he defeated Kingston in a mere 10 seconds. Following his victory, Cain Velasquez and Rey Mysterio came out to confront Lesnar.
Lesnar had attacked Mysterio and his son Dominick only a few days before on RAW, and it was clear that he was going to pay for it, sooner or later. Velasquez laid his hands on 'The Beast' as soon as he entered the ring and then WWE made it official. Both Superstars would be facing each other for the WWE Championship at the upcoming Crown Jewel pay-per-view.
Velasquez is the same person who beat the current WWE Champion in 2010 at UFC 121 for the UFC Heavyweight Championship. Looking at current circumstances, there may be some twists during this bout, but Lesnar is likely to win the match. Here are 3 reasons why we think so.
#3 Brock Lesnar won't lose his title this early
Brock Lesnar is different from any other wrestler in WWE. He's the only Superstar who can get away with almost anything backstage. He also reportedly garners a great deal of trust from WWE CEO Vince McMahon.
'The Beast' just won the WWE Championship and looking at the duration of his previous title reigns, don't expect Lesnar to lose his belt this soon. Yes, he did lose the Universal Championship to Seth Rollins at SummerSlam in just 28 days, but the entire angle was probably pulled off just to get Lesnar to SmackDown and the WWE Championship. Lesnar will likely win this match at Crown Jewel, either clean or in some other way.
Lesnar will be in WWE for quite some time and since he rarely works in matches that aren't for a world championship, he is probably going to retain in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Look for 'The Beast' to continue defending his WWE Championship for the foreseeable future.
