NEWS:
After Roman Reigns relinquished his Universal Championship in heart breaking fashion tonight on RAW, the WWE has announced that the previously scheduled Crown Jewel Universal Championship Triple Threat Match will now be a one on one bout between Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar, with the winner becoming the new Universal Champion.
The decision is bound to be mired in controversy, as Saudi Arabia may not be seen as an appropriate venue for many, especially after Reigns announced his leukemia battle in such gut wrenching dramatic fashion.
WWE is under a massive amount of political pressure to change venues, after Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was brutally murdered in Saudi Arabia.
With a potential UFC run looming, Braun Strowman is already a clear favorite to win the bout. Plus The Monster Among Men has already had success in Saudi Arabia, winning The Greatest Royal Rumble there in April.
