WWE Crown Jewel (2018 TV Special)
4/10
The Crown Avarice
2 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
WWE would rather put the title on a part timer that doesn't care about the business than someone who's been there full time, grafted and got over all on his own. They also rather put four 50+ year old wrestlers in the main event who can barely get into the ring without resulting in a hernia. They rather give the world cup trophy to a non-wrestler thus making him "the best in the world" than any of the active wrestlers that were participating in this tournament, I mean, Seth Rollins can't beat Dolph Ziggler in 15 minutes but Shane McMahon can beat Dolph in 2+ minutes? Are you having a laugh!?

I'm really having a hard time finding some pros, but here goes: The World Cup tournament was solid, everyone did their part and performed well considering they were giving limited time to perform their move-set but is such a shame the finale ruined it all. Shinsuke Nakamura VS Rusev ( I can't believe it was on the pre-show) was a good match, nice back and fourth. AJ Styles VS Somoa Joe was rather good albeit I expected the finish of the match to be a bit more grand, but they did well, considering they had to change the opponents. The crowd seemed more invested in this show than the Greatest Royal Rumble which did make the show more atmospheric. The Tag match between The New Day and The Bar and Big Show was alright but rather forgetful.

Respect to Daniel Bryan and John Cena to sticking to their principles, you also avoided a train-wreck.

I don't think WWE has any right to mock WCW anymore, this was a truly irredeemable show and WWE should apologise to the wrestlers involved in this farce.
