Is Seth Rollins injured after match vs Cody Rhodes at WWE Crown Jewel 2025?

Seth Rollins is the new WWE Crown Jewel champion!

In one of the most emotionally charged main events in recent WWE history, Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes went to war at WWE Crown Jewel 2025 in Perth, Australia.

The two delivered an instant classic that ran close to thirty minutes, filled with passion, callbacks, and brutal intensity that left both men battered by the end. Rollins emerged victorious, finally earning his first career singles win over Rhodes, but it might have come at a steep cost.

Post-match injury scare for Seth Rollins

Soon after the show went off the air, WWE host Cathy Kelley gave fans a worrying update during the Crown Jewel post-show.

She reported that Seth Rollins was seen clutching his arm and shoulder backstage and appeared to be in visible pain following the main event. While no official confirmation has been issued by WWE or Rollins himself, speculation quickly began circulating online regarding a potential legitimate injury.

Fans were quick to recall earlier this year when Rollins had faked an injury as part of a storyline, sparking debate on whether this latest incident was real or another masterful work. Either way, the concern is understandable. Rollins has been one of WWE’s most reliable in-ring performers, often wrestling through pain to keep his momentum alive.

We are most likely to hear an update on the upcoming episode of WWE Monday Night RAW.

Years-long rivalry reaches its breaking point

The story between Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins has been one of modern WWE’s most layered rivalries. Their journey began in 2022 when Rhodes returned to WWE, defeating Rollins multiple times, including in their unforgettable Hell in a Cell match, where Rhodes famously competed with a torn pectoral muscle. Since then, the animosity has evolved, from bitter enemies to uneasy allies and back again.

At Crown Jewel, both men seemed determined to end their saga once and for all. Rollins, fueled by frustration and desperation, unleashed everything in his arsenal, from Pedigrees to Stomps to high-risk aerial attacks. Rhodes, meanwhile, channeled his inner “American Nightmare,” refusing to stay down even after enduring a relentless assault.

When the dust settled, it was Rollins who stood tall, albeit barely. His emotional victory marked not just a career-defining moment but possibly the most physically taxing match of his WWE tenure.

If Rollins’ injury proves to be legitimate, it could temporarily sideline one of WWE’s biggest stars. However, knowing The Visionary’s reputation for resilience, fans can expect him to bounce back stronger than ever.
