There are only two upcoming WWE main roster premium live events left in 2023: Crown Jewel and Survivor Series. After that, it’s on to The Royal Rumble in late January and the road to WrestleMania. As such, WWE is already hard at work moving around the pieces and setting up the storylines that will carry them through to WrestleMania 40. That doesn’t mean every wrestler is literally involved in a storyline they’ll carry through til April, but it does mean Triple H and company are already thinking about questions like who should hold the key belts at ‘Mania and which main event level superstars will be entered into the Rumble.
That’s why Crown Jewel is giving us 5 title matches with both of the men’s and women’s big belts on the line, as well as The United States Championship. It’s also why I think we’re going to get some actual title changes, as well as some advancements in major storylines that will be primary focuses for WWE over the next six or seven months.
