10 HUGE Predictions For WWE Crown Jewel 2021

7. Edge Vs. Seth Rollins

Hell In A Cell for these two then, even if the supposed feud-ender feels much more like something that's been tacked on to this card rather than particularly belonging there.

Yes, both were deadlocked at 1-1 following a win each at major events (or as major as WWE can make Madison Square Garden television tapings feel in 2021 anyway), but Edge getting carted out of the 'World's Most Famous Arena' felt like the payoff this thing needed. 'The Rated-R Superstar' got revenge against Randy Orton earlier this year without requiring another lengthy match to pay it off, but home invasions and long drawn-out sit down promos triggered the lowering of the Cell for the first time in Saudi Arabia as these two finish what started nearly seven years ago.

The match will be fine, and Seth Rollins may take an audacious bump off the top through a table (or something along those lines), but when was the last time one of these things felt "career-altering" in a way that wasn't a total disaster? Rollins won't have Fiend-like concerns for the match on the night on the night, but this risks appearing like a total slog without something big and daft to make it memorable.

Winner - Edge
