WWE Crown Jewel could turn out to be a pivotal moment in Paul Heyman’s career. He is currently working as Roman Reigns’ special counsel. However, things have been difficult for him since the return of his former client, Brock Lesnar.
Heyman’s loyalty has been tested and questioned many times over the past couple of months. No one knows if Heyman is helping Lesnar behind the scenes.
The Beast Incarnate has also made a few interesting revelations, leading to more doubts. At Crown Jewel, WWE must use these angles to take things to the next level.
Paul Heyman can cause a distraction at Crown Jewel to nearly cost Reigns the match. However, Roman Reigns should recover to defeat Brock Lesnar and retain his Universal Championship.

Big E will mark his first pay-per-view WWE Championship defense at Crown Jewel. He will defend the title against Drew McIntyre.
McIntyre spent a large part of 2019 and 2020 in the WWE Championship picture. The Scottish Warrior is looking to win the WWE Championship before moving to SmackDown post-Crown Jewel.
Meanwhile, Big E is looking to have a long world championship reign. He’s been a fan-favorite character and will be a big draw in Saudi Arabia.
Even though McIntyre has proven to be a good WWE Champion before, WWE must hand him a loss at Crown Jewel.
Big E deserves a longer run after waiting so many years to win a world title. WWE must allow him to hit the Big Ending on McIntyre to retain his title on Thursday.

3. The SmackDown Women’s Championship match must get adequate time at WWE Crown Jewel
This Thursday at Crown Jewel, the SmackDown Women’s Championship will become the first women’s title to be defended in Saudi Arabia. Defending champion Becky Lynch will take on Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair in a huge Triple Threat match.
No matter the result, WWE must give the women’s match adequate time to entertain the fans in Saudi Arabia. WWE has delivered several short women’s matches in recent months, leading to fan backlash.
4. Mansoor and Mustafa Ali must patch up at WWE Crown Jewel
Hometown hero Mansoor will get another singles match at WWE Crown Jewel this year. He will face his former partner Mustafa Ali.
Ali and Mansoor had a good partnership on RAW before the creative team decided to split them up. It’s obvious that WWE wanted a singles opponent for Mansoor for Crown Jewel and Ali looked like the perfect option.
The hometown boy will likely pick up the win at the pay-per-view. Mansoor also defeated Cesaro last year at Crown Jewel.
However, WWE must allow the two men to patch up after the match is over. Ali could turn face following the contest and embrace Mansoor to reform the team.

After the contest, his son, Gage, tried to help Goldberg out. Lashley ripped Gage apart and infuriated Goldberg even more. While Goldberg wants to end The Almighty at Crown Jewel, the latter wants to end the Hall of Famer's career.
Most fans expect Goldberg to win the contest at Crown Jewel as he will be a fan-favorite in Saudi Arabia. However, WWE must allow Bobby Lashley to dominate the Hall of Famer and pick up the win.
