Seth Rollins Asks Paul Heyman What If He Loses to Cody Rhodes – Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes are officially set to face off at WWE Crown Jewel, with the Crown Jewel Championship on the line. The highly anticipated encounter marks another chapter in their long-running rivalry, with Rhodes holding a 3-0 record over Rollins since making his WWE return in 2022. For Rollins, this match represents more than a title defense—it’s a personal mission to finally defeat “The American Nightmare.”
During the October 6 episode of RAW, Rollins confronted Paul Heyman in a tense backstage exchange. Rollins, visibly restless, asked Heyman what would happen if he failed to beat Rhodes at Crown Jewel. Heyman initially tried to reassure him, calmly stating that he would win on Saturday. However, Rollins pressed for an honest answer, wanting to know the real consequences of a potential loss.
Reluctantly, Heyman broke it down for him. He told Rollins that if he loses, he risks losing the locker room’s respect, the trust of Bron and Bronson, and the entire vision they’ve built since WrestleMania. Heyman warned that Rollins would become nothing more than a “wannabe secondary champion” and simply told him, “Don’t lose.”
Rollins wasn’t satisfied. Grabbing Heyman’s arm, he demanded to know what happens to Paul if he loses. Heyman tried to sidestep the question, calling himself Rollins’ “secret weapon,” but Rollins pushed harder for the truth. After a long pause, Heyman finally admitted that if Rollins falls short, he’ll have to face a difficult question—why he chose Rollins in the first place and why he picked him over Roman Reigns. Heyman then quietly walked away, leaving Rollins to reflect on the weight of his words.
The confrontation added emotional depth to an already high-stakes rivalry, setting the stage for one of the most anticipated matches at WWE Crown Jewel.
