Both Raw and SmackDown's creative hives have made a hash of this Queen's Crown tourney. The second semi final is set to take place on Monday's Raw (this piece has been penned before WWE's 'go home' episode), but a sad, sad trend started back during the quarter finals.

Basically, precisely zero of the five matches in the tournament to date have gone longer than five minutes. In fact, most of them have been lucky to hit the three min mark. That's f*cking depressing, isn't it? This is supposed to be a celebration of women's wrestling, and it's more like some Diva nonsense from back in the day.

Crown Jewel might not change that.

There's a good chance the final, whether it's Zelina Vega vs. Shayna Baszler or Doudrop, will get the shortest amount of ring time in Saudi. It's difficult to see any other outcome when one scans the rest of the card, and that blows.
