Did you know that last fall, WWE hosted a PPV at an undisclosed location known as WWE World Cup?

No, well, that’s because it clearly didn’t happen. But that’s what Braun Strowman claimed as he recounted his history with Brock Lesnar, referencing his Universal Championship match against the Beast at Crown Jewel.

Now, it might have been a misstatement from Braun, but given the lengths to which WWE went to mask the location of Crown Jewel, would it be all that shocking that they would attempt to erase the name of the event from its own history?

For the record, WWE did have a World Cup, which was a godawful mini-tournament that took place at Crown Jewel.
