WWE Crown Jewel 2021: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True
5. Big E Gets Cut Short
Surely not.
Surely WWE wouldn't rubbish Big E's first run as WWE Champion already. Most reading this will agree, but then there's that niggle at the back of your head. It says, 'Hey, what if they put the belt back on Drew McIntyre and book another Champ vs. Champ scenario opposite Roman Reigns at Survivor Series'.
Christ, what a thought. Whilst that match would be really good (Drew and Roman briefly showed what they're capable of together last year), it'd kill E's chances of becoming a sustainable headliner stone dead. He'd always be that champion who only kept the belt warm for others Vince was more serious about.
Admittedly, this is one of the least-likely scenarios on this list. This is a nightmare factory however, and that's why it's here. Nobody should want to see Big E drop his WWE Title so soon, and that's true regardless of what the company does with the strap next.
