Other News
Prior to the draft, it was announced on social media that Tyson Fury will face Braun Strowman at WWE Crown Jewel, on October 31 in Saudi Arabia. I'm very interested to see how this story is played out on tv, leading up to the match. Tyson is a great talker, will his wrestling skills match up to that level? We will see. Nevertheless I have a prediction that Tyson will be winning this match. Like Paul Heyman says. That's not a prediction. That's a spoiler! Speaking of Heyman, it was also announced that Brock will defend the WWE title at Crown Jewel vs. Cain Velasquez.
Thanks for reading.
