Do you remember the last time there was a WWE PLE without a title on the line? Sure, Triple H and company will tell you that technically both the men and women’s Crown Jewel Championships are on the line this weekend in Perth, Australia, but to be honest, the wrestling fanbase hasn’t really decided whether to care about those titles. Maybe 20 from now, saying someone won eight Crown Jewel Championships will mean something, but since the concept is so new, the two yearly matches kind of just feel like glorified exhibitions.
For those of you who may be out of the loop, WWE rolled out a concept last year called the Crown Jewel Championship. Each year, the men’s WWE Champion and the World Heavyweight Champion face each other for the Crown Jewel Championship, and the women in those positions do the same thing. The individual titles they hold don’t change hands. It’s sort of a bragging rights thing, but even so, it does give us a sense of what the pecking order is.
