WWE Crown Jewel: 10 Things That Must Happen

The New Day have reached that unique level in WWE. They don't need tag gold to appear relevant, and that's precisely why they should lose in (whisper it now) Saudi Arabia this weekend. On the other side of things, The Bar have just kickstarted a new angle with Big Show, so they do need to win and look strong doing it.

New Day will come armed with their Freebird rule, and it'd be nice to see Big E team with Kofi Kingston. Why? Well, as good as Xavier Woods is, he's the more effective cheerleader on the outside, and thus more likely to provoke some response from an audience who showed at the Greatest Royal Rumble they're not the most vocal.

If Show is there, have him come down, knock somebody out and then pose with Sheamus and Cesaro. The announcers must do everything they can to hype this fresh union as the biggest threat on SmackDown over the next few months.

Quasi-League Of Nations 2.0 or not, it deserves a chance.
