Crown Jewel might be unable to become a critically acclaimed show. However, it did crown a new Universal Champion on WWE Raw. Brock Lesnar is back on the top of the brand with the title in his grasps. The bygone show also laid the foundations set for the 32nd annual Survivor Series. We are less than three weeks of the show as the buildup starts from tonight.

We will see the brand vs. brand rivalry heating up on WWE Raw. Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins will continue their rivalry as we expect to see the future of the tag team championships. Also, a feud between two behemoths of the female roster also begins officially on the show. The flagship show takes place from the overseas, this week. The Manchester Arena in Manchester, England will be the host of the event, tonight.
Brock Lesnar has become the new Universal Champion at Crown Jewel PPV event. But this is not a good news for the fans as they can’t expect him to see him on WWE Raw, every week. Especially there’re few chances to see him this week considering the show is taking place in Manchester, England. In his absence, Braun Strowman will be the center of attention on the show.
Baron Corbin was the one who made the difference at Crown Jewel championship match. He distracted Strowman by hitting from the back which indicated the beginning of a new rivalry on the show. If that’s not all then the monster among men will also have to deal with the resistance of Drew McIntyre. Here’s the sneak preview of the picture courtesy of WWE.com,
“Brock Lesnar defeated Braun Strowman to capture the vacant Universal Championship at WWE Crown Jewel, but not without the aid of Acting Raw General Manager Baron Corbin. Will The Monster Among Men get retribution against The Lone Wolf when Monday Night Raw rolls through Manchester, England?”
Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose will continue their rivalry throughout the rest of 2018. It will have a slow buildup for now. But we should consider that these two are still the WWE Raw tag team championships. With the love lost between them, there’s no way that they will defend it against any of the opponents. So it depends whether they relinquish the title or Baron Corbin just took the belts away from him.

WWE Raw women’s division will see a rivalry between the two behemoths i.e. Nia Jax and Tamina Snuka. These are two Samoan ladies who could deliver a big feud. The matches that they would have would be extremely physical making it a must-watch. The much-anticipated rivalry might be the only reason why Tamina is back onboard. Ronda Rousey should return on WWE Raw after giving it a miss, last week. She is currently traveling with the roster to the UK.
The buildup for Survivor Series will be an integral part of this week’s WWE Raw. The brand vs. brand theme is still intact around the show. It means that the flagship brand will have to choose five names from their side as representatives. It is almost certain that names like Dean Ambrose, Baron Corbin, Braun Strowman will be part of this match. We might get confirmations on these names once the show airs from Manchester.
