5 Best Moments On WWE Crown Jewel 2021 (And 5 Worst)
2. Best - A Hell In A Cell For The Ages
This was, for the want of a better praise, f*cking brilliant.
Edge and Seth Rollins deserve immense credit for working at a rapid pace for the better part of half an hour in baking heat, but they deserve even more for crafting the best match of a quality trilogy that will survive as far greater than the sum of its parts.
It took a lot of cheesy, divisive and downright rubbish promos to get from A to B to C between SummerSlam and Crown Jewel, but the escalation existed in the matches when it couldn't in the missives. Particularly in WWE's 50th Hell In A Cell match. A vintage Edge performance that Rollins levelled up to, the contest played to his creative brilliance in similar environments in days gone by.
Violence that never felt excessive, callbacks that never felt forced and drama that transcended the hack bullsh*t that informed it. 'The Rated R Superstar' was always awesome at this, and 'The Visionary Of Drip' (for f*cks sake...) yet again proved himself to be at very least a special guest at the tippy top table if not a permanent member of the club.
