The booking in this Crown Jewel show was ridculous.
Who's the best in the world? Shane McMahon of course! Wait...what? That's right, they have 6 clean(ish) finishes in the tournament and then pull a bait and switch for the final, throwing Shane in and voila! Best in the world! Rollins, Ziggler and Miz worked their asses off in multiple matches so Shane could put himself in the final and win in a couple of minutes.
I'm thinking they're planning of giving AJ a record breaking reign (I'd be surprised if he dropped the belt before WM which will put him at 500+ days) so him beating Samoa Joe makes sense in that regard.
Lesnar wins the belt? Two things are obvious. 1) Brock will be around till at least the Rumble and probably Mania and 2) they just don't have confidence in Strowman.
It could just be that they had the rug pulled from underneath by Reigns' relapse, are using Brock as a transitional champ, and will have him drop.it to Ambrose or Rollins at the Rumble. Personally I thought that Styles/ Lesnar was one of the best matches of 2017 and have no complaints with seeing a rematch at SS. it's where they go from there that's harder to get excited over.
Shawn seriously looked the fittest one out there in the main event in an utterly pointless plodding match.

I think the plan is for Brock to keep the title until WresltMania, where he drops it to Bobby Lashley. Those two still have yet to have their big dream match, and there's no better place for them to have it than at the grandest stage of them all, and for the WWE championship which almost happened at this passed Summerslam anyway.
I'm guessing Bobby Lashley will go on to win the Royal Rumble, and then he'll beat Brock for the title at WM, as sort of a passing of the torch match as well, since Bobby Lashley is being built up similar to how Brock has been built up over the years.

I would much rather see "BROCK LESNAR vs. SETH ROLLINS" happen at "WRESTLEMANIA 35" than "BROCK LESNAR vs. BOBBY LASHLEY".
Of course having said that, knowing the WWE and the constant stupid decisions that they make.......It may actually turn out to be a Rematch of "BROCK LESNAR vs. DEAN AMBROSE" or yet another Rematch of "BROCK LESNAR vs. JOHN CENA" (where John Cena would finally break Ric Flair's Title Streak, that is going to happen at some point eventually).

I didn't watch the show (just sickens me they're holding it in Saudi after what just happened) but from what I read about the show it was a train wreck of booking/performances. To open the show you have racist piece of shit Hulk Hogan coming out to "Real American" which in today's USA that's just sickening. Nothing says real American like a racist piece of shit right?  The World Cup tournament crowns Shane McMahon the best in the world. I mean duh right? I mean he's obviously the best wrestler the world has ever seen. Forget the likes of AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Daniel Bryan, Finn Balor, Seth Rollins...nope. Shane mother fuckin' McMahon! Best in the world! So stupid. Idk what they're doing with Brock as champion. My best guess is that they used him to really put Roman over so since Roman's illness they're going to try and redo that rub using somebody else. If it's not Strowman I literally don't know who that person is going to be. McIntyre maybe? Hearing that Vince is once again really high on him. He has been great since coming back I think. From what I gathered the DX vs BOD match was a shit show. Saw some gifs on Twitter and at one point HBK punches Kane's mask/wig off which was just funny. A lot of sloppy moves. Saw another gif of an attempted irish whip into the guard rail only it looked like Undertaker and HHH were having a foot race to see who could hit it first? Apparently HHH got injured. Hearing it's a torn pectoral muscle so there's that. I think the winners of this entire event were all the people that didn't go. |

That's actually not bad thinking on WWE's part. They realized the whole Crown Jewel thing was a PR nightmare, so they gave the trophy/crown/title/whatever to a non-wrestler so they don't ever have to reference it or so it doesn't follow the wrestler around like a black mark.
