WWE Crown Jewel: 8 Last Minute Rumours You Need To Know

3. Brock Loses Clean

Dave Meltzer time again and, according to Wrestling Observer Radio there’s apparently no truth whatsoever in the story that Brock would be winning the Universal Title back so that he could take it with him to the Octagon next year. Because, yes, people were saying that.

Just to clarify the above, Vince’s commitment to being as mad as the proverbial bag of smashed crabs had apparently reached an nadir here. So convinced was he that Brock would crush Daniel Cormier and the like, that he was willing to take a WWE title with him to really put the brand over UFC in the process.

That’s a man doing actual, brutal fighting, whilst simultaneously carrying a belt that says he’s the best at pretend fighting. Stop this world, I want to get off.

Anyway no need to prepare yourself for that because Meltzer reports that there will be no shenanigans, no daft finish, and that Braun will be going over strong and clean. What a relief.
