Top Crown Jewel Matches to Watch
Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley
Lesnar and Lashley have been two of the most dominant forces in WWE over the past few years, but something has to give at Crown Jewel.
In the only one-on-one meeting between the two men thus far, Lashley beat The Beast Incarnate for the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble in January, but it was largely due to interference from Paul Heyman and Reigns.
There doesn't figure to be any outside involvement in Saturday's match, which will pave the way for Lesnar and Lashley to take the fight to each other.
They have already done precisely that during the build toward Crown Jewel, brawling on multiple episodes of Raw and leaving a path of destruction in their wake.
Lesnar vs. Lashley may not be a long match, but they figure to pack plenty of action into whatever amount of time they are given.
Regardless of who they face, Lesnar and Lashley are always must-see attractions, and that will certainly be the case Saturday when they go head-to-head.
Bianca Belair vs. Bayley
In what could be the final chapter of their rivalry, Bianca Belair and Bayley will meet again at Crown Jewel with the Raw Women's Championship on the line.
The Role Model already had one title opportunity, but she squandered it despite help from her Damage CTRL stablemates, Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky, in a ladder match at Extreme Rules.
In order to earn another shot, she defeated The EST of WWE in a non-title match on a recent episode of Raw, thanks in large part to interference from Nikki Cross.
Given the heated nature of their feud, the two women weren't merely placed in a normal contest at Crown Jewel. Instead, their match was given a Last Woman Standing stipulation, ensuring it should be a hard-hitting and violent affair.
Belair and Bayley are two of the best female performers WWE has ever had, and both of them tend to step up and deliver on the big stage.
They've already proved they have strong chemistry together in the ring, and if that holds true Saturday, they could deliver the best match of the show.
Roman Reigns vs. Logan Paul
Reigns has smashed, stacked and pinned every opponent he has encountered during his nearly 800-day run as world champion, but Paul presents a unique challenge.
All of The Tribal Chief's previous wins came against veterans of the ring, whereas the YouTuber is still a novice, wrestling in just two matches, with only one being a singles bout.
Even so, Paul has been hugely impressive in limited action, and the overwhelming narrative surrounding him seems to be that he is a natural for the pro wrestling business.
The 27-year-old also happens to have one of the biggest podcasts in the world and is one of the most recognizable stars on social media, which gives WWE plenty of incentive to push him to the moon.
Still, it would be a major upset if he beats Reigns, who is in the midst of arguably the greatest title run in WWE history and has been positioned as the clear face of the company.
If nothing else, it will be interesting to see how WWE presents Paul and keeps him looking strong in a presumed loss.
