Triple H Drops Bombshell: Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins Confirmed for Crown Jewel 2025 Showdown!
WWE fans barely had time to catch their breath after Wrestlepalooza before Triple H dropped a blockbuster announcement—and it’s one that could change the entire landscape of WWE.
During the post-show press conference, the WWE Chief Content Officer confirmed that Cody Rhodes will defend his Undisputed WWE Championship against none other than Seth “Freakin” Rollins at Crown Jewel 2025 in Perth, Australia, on October 11.
This clash won’t just be another title match—it’s a collision of two champions, two rivals, and two men with unfinished business. Cody currently reigns as the Undisputed WWE Champion, while Rollins is the World Heavyweight Champion. Both belts, both egos, and years of history are now set to explode on the grand stage.
Cody Rhodes vs Seth Rollins: A Rivalry Written in Blood, Sweat & Betrayal
Ever since Cody’s emotional return to WWE at WrestleMania 38, one name has stood across the ring more than once—Seth Rollins. Cody stunned the world by defeating Rollins in his first match back, then did it again at Backlash, and once more in their unforgettable Hell in a Cell match, even while battling a torn pec.
Simply put: Cody has owned Rollins at every turn. But if there’s ever a time for Rollins to rewrite the script, it’s Crown Jewel.
From Partners To Enemies—And Back Again
Their story isn’t just about rivalry. At WrestleMania 40, Cody and Rollins actually joined forces to battle Roman Reigns and The Rock in a star-studded tag team match. But their teamwork crumbled, and each man’s fate that weekend became legendary—Cody finally “finished his story” by dethroning Roman, while Rollins lost his gold but played a pivotal role in Cody’s victory.
Fast-forward to WrestleMania 41, Rollins embraced the dark side again, turning heel in a shocking twist. Cody, meanwhile, went toe-to-toe with John Cena in a main event classic. By SummerSlam 2025, both men were back on top with championship gold around their waists.
Now, at Crown Jewel, everything comes full circle.
What’s At Stake At Crown Jewel?
This will be just the second-ever men’s match for the Crown Jewel Championship, introduced last year when Cody defeated Gunther. With both men carrying titles, egos, and legacies into Perth, this could be the match that defines not only 2025 but also the next era of WWE.
Can Rollins finally break his curse against Cody? Or will the American Nightmare continue his dominance and cement himself as WWE’s untouchable king?
October 11 can’t come soon enough.
