Roman Reigns Ready to Rescue Bloodline, Dirty Dom’s Next Move, More WWE Raw Fallout

Champion vs. champion rarely accomplishes much in professional wrestling if neither title is on the line.

The Crown Jewel Championships ostensibly define who is the true No. 1 world champion in WWE, but nothing was done with the concept last year past the premium live event.

Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan did not utilize that title in any fashion after Crown Jewel.

The loss cost both Gunther and Nia Jax momentum as champions, so it came off as a net negative for the company.

This year, WWE can push this angle forward as long as the Crown Jewel Championship is highlighted on air throughout the next year.

If Seth Rollins defeats Rhodes, he can run with the narrative that is the true face of the company and throw his second title in any potential challengers’ face.

Tiffany Stratton has held the WWE Women’s Championship for over 260 days while Stephanie Vaquer just won the Women’s World Championship.

A win for Stratton would clearly establish that she is the gold standard of the current women’s division. A win for Vaquer could be the next step in a dominant reign for La Primera that can last all the way past next year’s Crown Jewel.

For all champions, this victory should be seen as a badge of honor that cannot be taken away until next year’s Crown Jewel, even if they lose their world titles in the meantime.

If the Crown Jewel champion loses their primary world title, that championship can serve to push them back into the world title scene, possibly set up a rematch with the champion they defeated down the line to take their gold.

The possibilities are bountiful, and the only way WWE can fail in executing this story is by ignoring it entirely once WWE talent have returned home from their Australian tour.
