WWE Crown Jewel: 10 Things We Learned

7. Rollins & Ziggler Could Wrestle Classics Every Night

We'll get to the issues with WWE's World Cup soon, but first the positives.

Rey Mysterio shone, Kurt Angle put a shift in, The Miz and Jeff Hardy showed the potential a feud between them would have and WWE treated everyone to another workhorse match between Seth Rollins and Dolph Ziggler. By late-2018, these guys could wrestle Meltzer-approved classics in their sleep.

Rollins' likeable babyface character meshes well with Dolph's cocksure arrogance, and the addition of Drew McIntyre to ringside adds a looming background threat. The result, as it has been all year, was great, and it was one of Crown Jewel's better matches. WWE even found the time to stick some foreboding in there for the Raw Tag Titles.

Neither Seth or Dolph deserved to be pushed aside the way they were at the end. Had one of them won the first World Cup trophy, then fans on social media might not have been so damning in their criticism of the tournament.
