Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar 2022 full match

WWE returns to Saudi Arabia on Saturday for the 2022 Crown Jewel pay-per-view, starting at 11 a.m. ET.

Headlining the show will be Roman Reigns defending the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against social media star Logan Paul. Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley are set for a major grudge match, two giants will collide in Omos vs. Braun Strowman, the Raw Women's Championship is up for grabs in a Last Woman Standing match, and more.

Let's break down the card match-by-match and pinpoint who has the best odds to emerge victorious.

Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley

Though this will technically be the fourth time Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley have been scheduled to clash this year, it is actually only their second one-on-one contest.

Previously, Lesnar beat Lashley, Big E, Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins at Day 1 to win the WWE Championship, before dropping it back to The All Mighty at the Royal Rumble. The Beast Incarnate then won it back at Elimination Chamber after Lashley suffered a shoulder injury and was forced to withdraw.

That makes their win-loss records against each other hazy, particularly as Lesnar didn't beat Lashley at Day 1. If anything, The All Mighty has the better performance record on paper.

However, the only way he'll beat The Beast this time is if WWE has plans to stretch this out all the way to WrestleMania 39 and give Lesnar the win there.

When in doubt, go with Lesnar winning. His track record of 53 wins, one draw and 18 losses since 2012 speaks for itself.


Prediction: Lesnar wins.

Braun Strowman vs. Omos

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? That is what Omos and Braun Strowman will attempt to answer when the two giants battle for supremacy.

Rarely are two wrestlers as large as these two opposite each other in the ring. Whenever it does happen, the one who comes up short often loses significant momentum.

Omos hasn't had much direction this year. He frequently spends weeks off television and hasn't had a worthwhile feud since his program with Lashley around WrestleMania 38.

Conversely, The Monster Among Men has upgraded to The Monster of All Monsters. He's coming off a strong showing since returning to WWE, and a loss here would derail that momentum.

The train noises are gone, but Strowman should continue building up steam with a win here, as he has more to offer for future feuds against the likes of Karrion Kross.


Prediction: Strowman wins.

Six-Man Tag Team Match: The O.C. vs. The Judgment Day

Flip a coin on The O.C. against The Judgment Day. It is likely this feud will continue no matter who wins, and the outcome at Crown Jewel will have little bearing on what follows.

More of this feud has been focused around Rhea Ripley than anyone else. If she appears on Saturday, there are two stories WWE could tell.

First, it can be another instance where her interference costs The O.C. and forces them to look into ways to offset her outside influence. Or, if WWE has already settled on a plan, the big twist could be someone like Raquel Rodriguez running out to even the odds, leading to a victory for AJ Styles, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows.

As the former does nothing to progress the story any further than what's already been established, let's go with the babyfaces winning this one in an attempt to move this forward.


Prediction: The O.C. wins.

Steel Cage Match: Drew McIntyre vs. Karrion Kross

After Scarlett's interference at Extreme Rules, the steel cage should keep her out of the mix, allowing Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross to throw down on a more even playing field.

While that doesn't mean Scarlett won't still find a way to get involved, someone else could climb the cage and cost The Scottish Warrior, or Kross might just get the job done clean. This may be McIntyre's match to lose for storyline purposes.

It is never a certainty that the hero will get the ultimate victory in any feud. Often, they just lose and move on to something else. But if this is the potential end of this story, the Scot winning would give it some finality.

Also, with Survivor Series coming up, it can be assumed The Bloodline will need opponents for one of the WarGames matches. And McIntyre has been a steady adversary for Roman Reigns and his crew.

If the Scot lost to Kross and went straight into wanting to join the anti-Bloodline group, he would have less credibility.

Kross, meanwhile, can move on to feud with someone new.


Prediction: McIntyre wins.

Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship: The Usos vs. Brawling Brutes

As tough as The Brawling Brutes are, it's highly unlikely anyone in The Bloodline will drop their belts prior to WrestleMania next April.

It would be odd for WWE to decide to pull the rug out on The Usos, give the championship to Ridge Holland and Butch, and then put the titles back on Jimmy and Jey soon after. That might be reserved for another tag team title match on the card instead.

If Sheamus weren't taking time off for his wedding, it might have featured Solo Sikoa and The Usos against all three of the Brutes in a six-man tag team match instead.

Always bet on The Usos until Sami Zayn exits The Bloodline and reforms his tag team with Kevin Owens, which is probably months away.


Prediction: The Usos win.

Women's Tag Team Championship: Alexa Bliss and Asuka vs. Damage CTRL

WWE has booked this feud in a lose-lose situation. Almost nothing can happen here of significant value.

These two teams have feuded for months, and we've seen all they have to offer against each other.

Changing the titles on Monday night was a last-ditch effort to inject some adrenaline into this, but repeating it a few days later renders that moot, particularly as this has to stretch out even longer into Survivor Series.

Ultimately, if the belts change hands, that makes the title change just a superfluous "gotcha" to swerve audiences and milk this for another match or two. However, if the titles stay on Alexa Bliss and Asuka, it becomes even more pointless to see it five days later.

If WWE Creative doesn't see how the belts lose even more value with every hot-potato switch, this pattern will likely continue. Considering the main roster and NXT women's tag titles are even more susceptible to this type of booking, don't be shocked if Bliss and Asuka lose.


Prediction: Damage CTRL wins.

Raw Women's Championship Last Woman Standing: Bianca Belair vs. Bayley

If WWE is feeling the pressure to add more stock to Damage CTRL prior to WarGames, don't be surprised if there is another hot-potato situation with the Raw Women's Championship wherein Bayley wins the title at Crown Jewel.

Carrying the belt into the WarGames match gives her more of a reason to keep feuding with Bianca Belair. Otherwise, WWE Creative is just replicating what happened the last time they clashed, with Belair repeatedly beating The Role Model.

In all likelihood, though, Belair has this title on her shoulder come WrestleMania and a transitional reign might not be worth it just to possibly add more embers to an already-dying storyline for one event, then go back to Belair.

Since the champion has Alexa Bliss and Asuka to back her up, and Damage CTRL have made enemies in the past few months in Candice LeRae, Rodriguez, Shotzi, Aliyah and Becky Lynch—who could make her return here as the big surprise—and Belair does have a history of besting Bayley in almost every scenario, the edge is in favor of The EST retaining.


Prediction: Belair wins.

Undisputed WWE Universal Championship: Roman Reigns vs. Logan Paul

As stated, don't expect The Bloodline to drop any titles before WrestleMania, least of all Roman Reigns. That goes double for losing the top championship to someone like Logan Paul, who is only a guest attraction.

This is a marquee match to draw a lot of eyes and gain tons of media attention, but it isn't going to change the history books with a title change or an upset victory.

The entire story is that Paul might get one lucky shot, yet he's terribly inexperienced compared to The Head of the Table, who has been smashing all his opponents for years.

There will be moments when Paul has Reigns on the ropes, but by hook or by crook, a spear is going to finish this and the title is staying right where it is.


Prediction: Reigns wins.
