10 HUGE WWE Crown Jewel 2022 Predictions You Need To Know

9. The O.C Vs. The Judgment Day

Rhea Ripley has been the difference-maker in this feud so far, and fittingly it will be whether or not she makes the trip to Saudi Arabia that determines the result here.

It's a simple numbers game for The Judgment Game at present. Ripley at ringside has the smarts and physicality to deck any of The O.C, has done just that to Luke Gallows in particular, and the heels get to triumph most of the time as a result.

If she's there, the villains can have another win via her interference and a Dominik Mysterio frog splash. But your writer thinks she won't be, and this one goes the other way. When the sides are even, it's simply bad practice to book the babyfaces losing, and a win here can bolster the confidence of AJ Styles in particular ahead of Finn Bálor's lot re-taking an upper hand on Raw.

There's a time for The O.C to have to find an equaliser for the former Raw Women's Champion, but it wont be here.

Winners - The O.C
