Title vs. Title? Seth Rollins vs. Cody Rhodes Set for WWE Crown Jewel Clash on October 11, 2025
The Wrestlepalooza post-show ended with one of the biggest bombshells of the year—two world champions are on a collision course.
As Cody Rhodes celebrated his hard-fought victory over Drew McIntyre, he sat down for a post-show interview still clutching the Undisputed WWE Championship. ESPN’s Joe Tessitore leaned in, teasing, “Everyone now is going to want to talk about your future.” Before Rhodes could respond, the arena erupted.
Seth “Freakin” Rollins’ music hit, and the reigning World Heavyweight Champion stormed onto the stage. What followed was a goosebump-inducing moment: Rhodes and Rollins, eye to eye, each holding their championship belts high in the air. No words. No microphones. Just pure intensity.
Within minutes, X (formerly Twitter) lit up with speculation—was this going to be Title vs. Title? Were fans about to witness the unification of WWE’s two most prestigious prizes?
That’s when WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque stepped in to clear the air. Asked directly by Tessitore, Triple H confirmed the news: Seth Rollins will face Cody Rhodes on October 11, 2025, at WWE Crown Jewel.
“Seth Rollins has something to prove,” Triple H declared, sending shockwaves across the wrestling world.
While he didn’t officially say the words “Title Unification,” the implication is clear—this will be one of the most high-stakes matches in modern WWE history.
NOTE: Triple H did not confirm if this would be title vs. title for a unification, but it is self explanatory. At this time based on what Triple H said this is to determine The WWE Crown Jewel Championship—more details to come

This is the kind of blockbuster showdown WWE has been teasing for years, and now it’s finally here. Seth Rollins has carried the World Heavyweight Championship with pride, but even he knows that some fans see it as the “secondary” title compared to Cody Rhodes’ Undisputed Championship. A win at Crown Jewel would cement Rollins’ legacy and erase all doubts.
For Rhodes, this isn’t just about defending his spot at the top. It’s about continuing the story he’s built since returning to WWE and proving that he is the definitive face of the company. With both men operating at the absolute peak of their careers, October 11th has the potential to redefine WWE’s championship landscape forever.
