9 Match Star Ratings For WWE Crown Jewel 2019

9. Battle Royal To Determine #1 Contender To The United States Title

A ring comprised mostly of misfits compete for a Championship Opportunity: a plot hole people buried AEW for at Double Or Nothing, but didn't even materialise as a blip on the radar of social media last night.

Funny how that goes.

This wasn't good, at all, and didn't even follow the usual mass of flesh mess/exhilarating finish template. Drake Maverick's comedy spots saw him swiftly eliminated, as were several of his 205 Live colleagues before the ejection of Eric Young, which painted a grim and predictable picture. Titus O'Neill eliminated Mojo Rawley amid much non-action. Back to the mirror he goes. Or catering.

Probably catering.

Andrade eliminated Sin Cara, whose new valet wasn't at all conspicuous by her absence. O'Neill then spent several glaring seconds visibly calling his own elimination, but he has terrible form in this department, so it was understandable. Akira Tozawa drew stifled, unprofessional laughter from Michael Cole, but his looking like a total geek nanoseconds after No Way Jose was eliminated after also challenging Rowan was perversely amusing. Again: understandable.

"We're about to see the end of the career of Akira Tozawa, courtesy of Harper and Rowan!" Corey Graves said.

*Troy McClure voice*

"Tozawa's career was already over!"

Humberto Carillo won after some miscommunication between Harper and Rowan, who were depicted as powerhouses in the match and idiots after it.

Also some unfunny 24/7 Title b*llocks happened.

Star Rating: ¾★
