10 HUGE WWE Crown Jewel 2022 Predictions You Need To Know

8. Brock Lesnar Vs. Bobby Lashley

Brock Lesnar has to level the series here, and as long as WWE stay the course with something evolving into an epic rivalry, there's nothing inherently wrong with the strategy.

Bobby Lashley's Royal Rumble victory over 'The Beast' was tainted by Roman Reigns' interference, but everybody seems willing to forget that and WWE have tried hard to obscure it during the awesome brawls that have defined the second chapter of the feud. Based on Lesnar's typical schedule and the clear ease at which the heat can be reignited, a rubber match feels destined to fill a cushy midcard spot on one of the WrestleMania 39 cards.

For that reason alone, the former UFC Champion needs to outmuscle his fellow hybrid athlete in Saudi Arabia, even if it's by the narrowest of margins on the night. They are at very least aided by the incredibly low bar sure to be set by the other clash of the titans on this very show...

Winner - Brock Lesnar
