We are now less than a week away from the eighth WWE Crown Jewel premium live event and the card appears to almost be complete.
Along with the two Crown Jewel Championship matches, the potential culmination of Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes’ blood feud, and the World Tag Team Titles being defended, we could also see a number of surprise moments throughout the show.
Having already looked at potential heel turns at the event, lets now take a look at two names that could potentially swap over to the babyface side of the roster:
We haven’t seen Paul Heyman involved in WWE at all over the past few weeks, with the Hall of Famer potentially licking his wounds after having his managerial services rejected by Oba Femi.
Another potential reason for Heyman to avoid WWE Raw would be The Vision, who surely can’t be best pleased that their “Oracle” tried to cosy up to one of their biggest rivals.
WWE haven’t given fans much reason to believe that Heyman is still aligned to The Vision anymore, but they’ve also never had a definitive breakup moment either.
With Bron Breakker & Austin Theory defending their World Tag Team Titles against Je’Von Evans & Penta at Crown Jewel, WWE has the opportunity to deliver and end to the Paul Heyman and Vision alliance, with Heyman helping the challengers dethrone his former clients for the titles. Sure, it would seem a little out of left field, but it’s also better than letting the alliance fizzle out without a conclusion.
Another alliance that most fans have been wanting an end to is The Judgment Day. With WWE’s booking of the group barely evolving over the past few years, the timing feels right to deliver a major shake-up.
Of course, WWE missed the perfect opportunity to do this by having Tiffany Stratton win Money in the Bank instead of Roxanne Perez, but there’s still time to rectify this – albeit in a way that isn’t going to be as satisfying as a Perez cash-in on Morgan would have been.
With Liv Morgan facing off against Chelsea Green at Crown Jewel, Stratton may once again attempt to cash-in on the Women’s World Champion. Rather than Perez coming to Morgan’s aid, she could instead leave her stablemate to her fate and allow a new Women’s World Champion to be crowned.
Having Stratton win the Women’s World Title would also be a big surprise in itself, and one that would lead her in an entirely different direction than most expected from her run with the Money in the Bank briefcase.
