WWE Crown Jewel 2019: 9 Results Predictions
9. Humberto Stands Tall Amidst 24/7 Nonsense
WWE have a good thing on their hands in Humberto Carrillo, and amidst a general sea of despair, it's genuinely positive that they recognise the fact enough to push him.
Unfortunately, they are going about it in a typically backwards manner. Though the Mexican impressed during his obviously futile debut match opposite Universal Champion Seth Rollins, he was squeezed into one of Max Moon's old costumes and looked utterly ridiculous for it. He arrived much less like a Butlins' stock wrestler on this week's episode, but crucially, lost again. Yes, it was against AJ Styles, but this route will ultimately define the rookie as a loser. A big-hearted loser, but a loser nonetheless.
What's the most WWE thing imaginable for him next, then? Obviously, it's to be the last man standing in a pre-show battle royal otherwise filled with absolute nobodies, 205 refugees, and Shelton Benjamin, after they all contrive to eliminate themselves over the 24/7 Championship. He'll then go on to face AJ Styles in another theoretically high-profile championship contest - which he probably has to lose.
Prediction: It's Carrillo, claro.
