The main event of WWE Crown Jewel saw Cody Rhodes put his Undisputed WWE Championship on the line against Seth Rollins, in a high-stakes battle that many believed could redefine both men’s careers. Before the bout, a video package played reminding fans of their storied history, with Rhodes holding a 3-0 record over Rollins heading into this match. The stipulation looming over the contest was clear: if Rollins failed to win, he risked losing his identity as “The Visionary.”

Rollins entered first to a roaring crowd, walking alone and looking more focused than ever. Rhodes followed, holding his championship high before locking eyes with his long-time rival. The tension was palpable as the bell rang. The early minutes saw both men feeling each other out with technical exchanges and quick counters, each trying to gain the upper hand. Rhodes nearly sent Rollins through the commentary table at one point, but Seth wisely escaped.

Rollins began targeting Rhodes’ legs, softening him up for a potential Figure-Four. He taunted Cody by referencing Dusty Rhodes, drawing loud boos from the crowd. Cody eventually reversed the hold, forcing Rollins to break the submission. The two traded momentum until Rhodes landed a Disaster Kick, the Dusty Combo, and a Bionic Elbow that sent Rollins tumbling to the outside. Cody followed up with a suicide dive, driving Rollins into the barricade before hitting a Cody Cutter back in the ring for a near fall.

The match reached another level when Rollins countered a second Disaster Kick into a Pedigree, nearly securing the win. He followed with a Cross Rhodes of his own, but Cody kicked out at two. Rollins attempted a moonsault and missed, allowing Rhodes to regain control. Cody connected with a Cross Rhodes, but Rollins refused to stay down.

In a tense moment, Rollins grabbed Cody’s symbolic watch , a family heirloom given to him by The Rock , and threatened to use it as a weapon. Cody countered with another Cody Cutter and a second Cross Rhodes, but again, Rollins kicked out. Both men were showing signs of exhaustion as they climbed the ropes. Rollins hit a stunning Spanish Fly followed by a Urinage, but Rhodes somehow survived.

The crowd came alive as both Superstars traded heavy strikes in the center of the ring. Cody hit a top-rope Cross Rhodes that looked to end it, but Rollins kicked out in a shocking near fall. In the final sequence, the referee was accidentally knocked down, and Rollins seized the moment. Using the watch, he struck Rhodes in the face before hitting a Stomp from the top rope. Rollins covered Rhodes and secured the three count, finally defeating his long-time rival.

Seth Rollins stood tall, ending Cody Rhodes’ dominant streak and claiming the WWE Crown Jewel Championship in a grueling 33-minute contest that will be remembered as one of their most emotionally charged encounters yet.
