My Thoughts on Crown Jewel

This is always an interesting show. Putting my thoughts out there on the card.

**Cody Rhodes versus Gunther for the Men’s Crown Jewel Title. This should be an interesting match. Gunther has barely been in the ring of late but Cody has been defending the belt, taking part in matches. Can Ludwig stay out of the match is my question? Randy Orton came to Cody’s rescue as Ludwig and Gunther tried to get in Cody’s head. **My pick is Cody Rhodes

**The Women’s Crown Jewel title between Nia Jax and Liv Morgan. I am not a fan of either of them but on this one I need Nia to win. Liv once again, injured Rhea and got her out of the way to keep her belt as long as possible. Liv has Raquel and Dom to help her but I wonder if they will let them interfere or will this be a legitimate match. **My pick is Nia Jax

** The Women’s Tag Team Titles are on the line in a triple threat match with Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair defending against Damage Control, Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson, Chelsea Green and Piper Niven. This is one of those matches that if you blink you will miss something. The chatter is that Lash and Jakara are heading to the main roster, They need some new blood in the Ladies Tag Team division. **My pick is Jade and Bianca will continue as title holders.

**The O.T.C (Roman, Jimmy, Jey) facing Solo Sokia along with Tama, Tonga Loa. (not sure if Jacob will be able to travel due to his police record) This is setting up for Survivor Series: War Games. I am kinda hoping that Paul Heyman returns sooner rather than later. This is another match that anything can happen. **My picks are Roman, Jimmy and Jey

** Seth Rollins versus Bronson Reed. Bronson outweighed Seth by at least 40 pounds. This match will not be pretty, by any means. Seth is going to need to be quick, and try and take Bronson out at the knees. I hope this won’t get out of hand but it could. Wondering if Seth has any new tricks up his sleeve. **My pick is Seth but won’t be surprised if Bronson wins.

**Randy Orton facing Kevin Owens. Kevin plays a good heel, and so does Randy but I like Randy as a baby face. I know with Randy’s back he has to be careful, you can see when you watch him work that he has had to make major adjustments since his return. Kevin plays a heel so well. The storyline between Kevin and Roman has not been addressed and I think would make a good side story, finding a way to end it. **My pick is Randy but I can also see Kevin getting the win.

**Other notes

Rhea Ripley is out for an undisclosed amount of time. She has a cracked eye socket. The chatter is that it happened when she headbutted Liv. I can see Rhea winning the Royal Rumble to go after Liv, getting the title back at Wrestlemania.

It puts a break in the story with her and Liv for the title. It’s a good time to develop a storyline between Raquel and Liv, would like to see that storyline include Dom. I don’t know about anyone else but I am getting bored with Judgement Day, I think it has served its purpose, it’s time to dissolve the group. The tag titles need to be put on teams that will defend them regularly. Finn still being pissed at Damien, needing revenge is old. More chatter is that Carlito is on his way out of the group.
