On the fourth attempt at a victory over Cody Rhodes in a
one-on-one encounter, Seth Rollins finally managed to do it
at Crown Jewel in Perth, Australia, winning the Crown Jewel
men’s championship in the process.
Flying solo without the aid of The Oracle Paul Heyman or the
Brons, Rollins got the win after a big stomp from the second
rope, but the win might have an asterisk as Rollins used the
Rolex watch that Cody gifted him at WrestleMania XL to knock
him out first.
Seth wanted to use the watch as a weapon earlier in the
match but then decided against it. When Rhodes kept kicking
out of everything, Rollins used it after a small ref bump.
Following the match, Rollins snatched the microphone from
Cathy Kelley’s hand before she even uttered a word and said
that with this win, he is no longer just the greatest of his
generation, but he’s the greatest of all time.
Triple H presented the Crown Jewel title and the diamond
ring as well and then Rollins posed with Stephanie Vaquer in
the middle of the ring to end the broadcast.
Rhodes was the inaugural champion last year.
