WWE Crown Jewel: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best

By Jack Pooley / November 3, 2018

5. United States Title: Shinsuke Nakamura (c) Vs. Rusev

Result: Nak retains the title after nailing Rusev with the Kinshasa (9:30).

Rating: It's embarrassing that these two are being relegated to the kickoff show - in a title match no less - and the end result was a decent but workmanlike bout that pretty much set the tone for the rest of the evening.

Nak and Rusev clearly work well together but neither man seemed interested in doing much beyond their usual beats, though the "accidental" low-blow in the final stretch was at least a clever heel move by Nak.

It's a shame Rusev didn't pick up the win, but honestly, did anyone actually expect that to happen? 6/10
