Crown Jewel 2022 storylines
Undisputed WWE Universal Championship Roman Reigns (c) in a match against. Logan Paul
The title showdown for the marquee began in September after Reigns appeared on Paul’s “Impulsive podcast. The two began trading jabs on social media afterward. The match between the two Crown Jewel was made official on the same day and both of them attended an event in Las Vegas to promote the showdown.
In the last month, they have both produced promos on Friday Night Smackdown and have even met a couple of times. The focus is on the weaker Paul getting just one punch to win the fight as he laid out Jey Uso just a few weeks ago. The champion, on the other hand, has brushed aside any worries about defeating the internet star, insisting that his two-year run of dominance will not end.
Raw Women’s Championship – Bianca Belair (c) against. Bayley (Last Woman Standing match)
Belair Bayley and Bayley have been fighting since SummerSlam in the summer of 2012, with Belair working along with Alexa Bliss, and Asuka to fight Bayley’s Damage CTRL faction, which includes Iyo Sky as well as Dakota Kai. They fought in an event called a ladder in Extreme Rules last month, an event in which the champion kept her title.
This setback didn’t stop Bayley because, with the help of Nikki Cross, she picked an impressive pinfall win against Belair in Tuesday Night Raw a few weeks back. This set the stage for the title match where the first person who is able to knock their opponent down for a 10-count is declared the winner.
Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley
The epic hoss battle took place in the evening following Extreme Rules last month when Lesnar appeared on the scene and took on Lashley who was scheduled to fight for his United States Championship against Seth Rollins the following evening. A wounded Lashley ended up losing the title and set the stage for him to take revenge on Lashley’s “Beast”.
In recent times, the two wrestlers have engaged in fights on the show, as they have tried to establish dominance prior to Crown Jewel. This is the second time they’ve clashed on PPV this season, with one of them being the Royal Rumble in January.
Drew McIntyre vs. Karrion Kross (Steel cage match)
Kross has been targeting McIntyre by launching numerous attacks since the show’s debut at Friday Night Smackdown a few months ago. They fought in a strap match on Extreme Rules and with the assistance of Scarlett Macing McIntyre on his face Kross took the win.
The newcomer was supposed to take part in a No. 1 contender’s match at the Intercontinental Championship the following week prior to when McIntyre assaulted his opponent in the parking area and made him ineligible to participate. Then, the event in the steel cage was arranged to be the final blowoff in this fight.
