Seth Rollins’ WWE future hangs in the balance when he goes head-to-head with Cody Rhodes at WWE Crown, as confirmed by Paul Heyman.

The Visionary has held the World Heavyweight Championship since SummerSlam, when he cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on CM Punk. The Vision’s leader will now square off with the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes for the Crown Jewel Title this Saturday at Crown Jewel in Perth, Australia.

The American Nightmare and Rollins have clashed thrice following Rhodes’ return to WWE in 2022. In all three matches, the second-generation superstar emerged victorious.

What Will Happen To Seth Rollins If He Loses At WWE Crown Jewel?

On tonight’s episode of RAW, Seth Rollins had a conversation with his Oracle, WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman, during which he asked what would happen if he failed to defeat Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel.

Although Heyman initially told Rollins that he would undoubtedly win, the latter insisted on getting an answer from the 60-year-old on what would happen if he lost. The WWE Hall of Famer told him that he would lose everything, including the faith of his Vision teammates, and become nothing but a “de facto, wanna be secondary champion.”

Paul Heyman: You want it straight? If you lose to Cody Rhodes, you lose the locker room. You lose the faith of Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed that your vision is the one that leads us into the future. You throw away everything that we’ve built since WrestleMania. You throw away the fact that the entire Netflix era has been built around Seth Freakin’ Rollins and you become nothing more in history than a de facto, wanna be secondary champion. So please, do yourself a favor and don’t lose.

As Heyman attempted to leave, Rollins pulled him back. The Visionary pointed out that the Hall of Famer had left himself out of the equation and asked him to clarify where he would stand in that scenario.

Paul Heyman: I’m your secret weapon. He’s 3-0 against you. That’s a streak…

Seth Rollins: Paul, don’t give me that. I asked you a straight question. I want a straight answer.

Paul Heyman: If you lose to Cody Rhodes, at some point, I have to ask myself why, why I picked you. I have to ask myself why I picked you over Roman Reigns.
