Seth Rollins claimed the 2025 WWE Crown Jewel Championship in a dramatic and controversial bout against Cody Rhodes on October 11, 2025, at the RAC Arena in Perth, Australia.

The match headlined the star-studded premium live event. Rollins resorted to underhanded tactics to secure the win. Late in the contest, he saw an opening to take a shortcut and didn’t hesitate. He used a concealed wristwatch as a weapon while the referee was distracted, striking Rhodes with it and gaining the upper hand. After the bell, Triple H made his way to the ring, presenting Seth Rollins with the championship belt in front of the Perth crowd.

Rollins had never defeated Cody Rhodes in a singles match before. Therefore, this victory was very crucial for him as it would shape his future in WWE as the leader of his heel faction, The Vision. After the event, Triple H congratulated Seth Rollins on his victory and praised the World Heavyweight Champion for not breaking under immense pressure.

Seth Rollins Put His Body on the Line at Crown Jewel

Seth Rollins proved he was willing to go to any lengths and risk his own physical well-being to achieve victory at Crown Jewel. During the match, fans saw him launching himself across the ring for a flying headbutt that connected with Rhodes’ upper body. Unfortunately, The Visionary had an awkward and rough landing on his left arm and shoulder, which was immediately noticed by commentators and fans alike.

Post-match, Rollins addressed taking the risky move and admitted the headbutt was a dangerous gamble that might have longer-term consequences for his arm and shoulder. Nevertheless, he left Perth as the 2025 Crown Jewel Champion, so he feels it was worth it.

“The truth is, I told Cody that I would do anything. By any means necessary. Whatever it took, I was going to beat him. I saw an opportunity, I took it, it didn’t pay off. Honestly, there might be some long-term ramifications. At the end of the day, I was going to lay it all on the line. I did everything in that ring, no matter what. Rough landing right there. Rough landing.”
