After their thrilling encounters at WWE Wrestlepalooza 2025, both Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes will walk into Crown Jewel in Perth as reigning World Champions. The two are set to collide for the prestigious Men’s Crown Jewel Championship, a matchup fans have eagerly anticipated for weeks.
⚔️ A Rivalry That Defined Cody Rhodes’ Return
The rivalry between Rhodes and Rollins goes way back. When Cody returned to WWE, The Visionary was his first major opponent. Their trilogy of matches became instant classics—yet Cody emerged victorious in all three, leaving Rollins winless against him.
This 3-0 record has been one of the most debated points in WWE storytelling. Despite the losses, Rollins played a crucial role in elevating Rhodes, even helping him capture the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania XL.

On this week’s RAW, Cody reminded Rollins of his flawless 3-0 record over him. In WWE history, such references often foreshadow a reversal of fortunes. Many believe this is a subtle hint that Rollins could finally secure a win at Crown Jewel.
Given Rollins’ incredible momentum with The Vision, and his resurgence to the very top of WWE, a victory in Perth would be perfectly timed. It would:
-
Give him his first-ever win over Cody Rhodes
-
Strengthen his already dominant character arc
-
Cement his status as one of the most influential stars of 2025
🎤 Cody Rhodes Shares a Backstage Story With Rollins
Beyond the ring, Rhodes and Rollins have also proven to be strong allies. During the WrestleMania XL season, they teamed up against Roman Reigns and The Rock.
In a recent episode of Rhodes’ “What Do You Wanna Talk About?” podcast, Cody revealed a fascinating story: due to a snowstorm, no WWE producers were able to make it to a show. As a result, Cody and Seth stepped in as producers themselves, running the event behind the scenes.
“We had a show to do, and remember, no producers. [It was] me and Seth... We were producers, and it was a show that had a commission, so we actually had to do work. It wasn’t like, ‘Hey, you’re good, we know your match, hey, twelve minutes,’ none of that. That was all pretty much.”
This experience sparked speculation about whether either man might take on a backstage producer role after their in-ring careers wind down.
🔮 What Lies Ahead?
With history, rivalry, and respect all intertwined, the stage is set for one of the biggest WWE matches of 2025. Will Cody Rhodes keep his streak alive, or is it finally Seth Rollins’ time to conquer The American Nightmare?
Fans won’t have to wait long—Crown Jewel in Perth promises fireworks.
