WWE has made some changes to a top match at the upcoming WWE Crown Jewel PPV. With Roman Reigns relinquishing the Universal Title due to his battle with leukemia, he will not able to face Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman in a triple threat match at this show as originally advertised. Now, Strowman and Lesnar will battle for the vacant title at this show.
