10 HUGE WWE Crown Jewel 2022 Predictions You Need To Know

6. Alexa Bliss & Asuka (c) Vs. Damage CTRL

Damage CTRL as a concept hasn't worked.

The trio set out to take control of a division and started at the top by injuring Becky Lynch. So far so good, but winning the tag team titles at the second attempt rather than the first was a major enough setback before leader Bayley failed to get Bianca Belair's belt or even really put 'The EST' under any great pressure on the reg.

Losing the tag straps on the Crown Jewel go-home show felt like the formal beginning of the end - double losses at the Saudi show can leave them in an all-or-nothing spot at WarGames which can mark their demise. Or, did the Raw title change happen just to hotshot them back on a Saudi stage so the live crowd have a title change to remember?

Not the worst arguement for a hotshot switch, but not the way this one will pan out either.

Winners - Alexa Bliss & Asuka
