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.
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.
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.
