WWE Crown Jewel 2021: Big E Retains WWE Championship Against Drew McIntyre

10/21/2021 03:03 pm EDT

Minutes after his fellow New Day member Xavier Woods won King of the Ring, Big E successfully retained his WWE Championship by beating Drew McIntyre at Crown Jewel. Both men managed to kick out of the other's finisher, but E was able to counter his way into a second Big Ending and score the pin. The match marked McIntyre's final attempt at retrieving the WWE title since losing it via Money in the Bank cash-in back in February, as the WWE Draft has him jumping over to SmackDown beginning tomorrow night. 

While McIntyre has already teased a feud with Roman Reigns over the Universal Championship, E will likely get the next crack at "The Tribal Chief" on pay-per-view. WWE has already confirmed next month's Survivor Series will be another "battle for brand supremacy," meaning WWE's two world champions will clash in a non-title bout.
