WWE Crown Jewel 2024 full card and predictions
Jade Cargill & Bianca Belair (c) vs. Kairi Sane & IYO SKY vs. Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson vs. Chelsea Green & Piper Niven for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship
Patrick: Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson’s sudden main roster push is intriguing, but I don’t think it’s their time yet. I’m honestly just ready for Bianca and Jade to break up and go their separate ways – I don’t know if it’s gonna happen here, but I’ll try to will it into existence. Let’s get Damage CTRL those titles back!
Winners: Kairi Sane and IYO SKY
Shane: I just want Piper and Chelsea Green, bad. When speaking about Chelsea alone, she is probably the Superstar on WWE TV that makes the absolute most of the time she is given week in and week out. Putting the tag straps on her and Piper sounds like a win in my book.
Winners: Piper Niven and Chelsea Green
LA Knight (c) vs. Andrade vs. Carmelo Hayes for the United States Championship
Patrick: This match should be awesome. I think cutting LA Knight’s reign short after just three months would feel a little sudden, but I kind of think Andrade or Carmelo should get some shine after their excellent best-of-7 series. That said, I just don’t see it yet. I think Andrade or Carmelo screws the other, and LA Knight escapes with the victory. Yeah!
Winner: LA Knight
Shane: I can easily see Carmelo Hayes winning the United States Championship some time in the future, just not yet. He and Andrade kinda cancel each other out of this match for me which just leaves everybody saying, LA Knight. Yeah!
Winner: LA Knight
Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens
Patrick: My life for a serious push of vicious heel Kevin Owens. This would be the perfect opportunity to do it, so I’m hoping they use it.
Winner: Kevin Owens
Shane: Please, for the love of God, let KO win this.
Winner: Kevin Owens
Seth “Freakin” Rollins vs. “Big” Bronson Reed
Patrick: This should be a fun match but I think Reed has got to just demolish Rollins again. I suppose you could argue Rollins needs to get his win back, but Reed has a lot of momentum and I think winning a match against one of the best in the company on a big stage would go a really long way.
Winner: “Big” Bronson Reed
Shane: Momentum is such a crazy thing in sports entertainment. You wouldn’t think that losing a single match would be enough to completely halt a Superstar’s momentum, but it kinda can. And I think Bronson losing here, in his first real showing against a true main event talent, would do just that. Plus, Seth has made it to the point in his career that a loss really doesn’t hurt him much at all.
Winner: “Big” Bronson Reed
Nia Jax vs. Liv Morgan for the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship
Patrick: This match will come down to who has the more effective insurance policy: Tiffany Stratton on Nia’s side vs. Raquel Rodriguez on Liv’s. To say Nia and Tiffany haven’t been on the same page is an understatement, and Raquel has been on a hot streak. I think Liv comes away with this one after a major assist. There also could be some interesting scenarios involving the Money in the Bank briefcase (could Tiffany end up becoming the Crown Jewel Champion if she decided to insert herself in the match?), but I think Stratton saves that for another day.
Winner: Liv Morgan
Shane: What really irritates me about these Champion vs Champion matches is the fact that I can see both winners winning via outside interference. Much like Patrick said though, this match is going to depend on who has the most effective insurance policy. Even though Liv has Raquel, I just can’t see Nia losing. Even with Rhea out of action, a Liv victory just seems out of place.
Winner: Nia Jax
Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther for the Crown Jewel Championship
Patrick: This is the most interesting match on the card for sure as these are two guys who basically never lose. How do they book their way out of this one? The only thing I can see is some kind of interference – maybe since Dominik earned himself a future title shot, Judgment Day get involved somehow? I don’t know, man. This one is really a coin flip.
Winner: Cody Rhodes
Shane: I think this is going to come down to interference too. Just instead of Judgment Day assisting Cody to a victory, I see Kevin Owens getting involved to give the dub to Gunther. As far as I know, this is the first time Cody and Kevin have been on the same page since Kevin’s heel turn? Feels like a good time to get their paths to cross again. Like Patrick said though, this is a definite coin flip.
Winner: Gunther
Roman Reigns and The Usos vs. The Bloodline
Patrick: The Wish.com Bloodline will most likely come away with the victory here, causing Roman to realize they need yet more help, which will lead us to WarGames where we’re hopefully feeling extra Ucey with an Honorary Uce.
Winners: The Bloodline
Shane: I could literally copy and paste what Patrick wrote because I agree almost word for word with what he said. There has to be some sort of justification for WarGames and the babyfaces going 2-0 doesn’t feel like the justification we need.
Winners: The Bloodline
