WWE Crown Jewel 2019: 10 Things That Must Happen

Hopefully, this will be five minutes max.

It's not believable that Braun Strowman could go 20 minutes without being knocked out by Tyson Fury, neither is it plausible that Fury's punching alone would be enough to fight Braun's all-rounder style for too long. WWE might just get away with one here if they don't kick the arse out it and expect this to be a Rocky fight scene for the ages.

Braun must win too. He should be WWE's focus here, not Tyson. The boxer won't be sticking around full-time, and they can frame the ending as a surprise if Strowman slams Fury and pins him. Tyson isn't exactly accustomed to kicking out of pinning combos, and he'd save some face if he wasn't KO'd.

Fury's mic skills haven't been strong enough that WWE will be frothing at the prospect of losing him back to boxing. He's dipping into pro wrestling life, not becoming a permanent resident, and so Braun needs this one more.
