Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins will face off at WWE Crown Jewel

WWE closed WrestlePalooza with Cody Rhodes defeating Drew McIntyre to retain the WWE Undisputed Championship, but the big story came afterwards, in the post-show, when The American Nightmare proclaimed that he was the only man capable of being the "quarterback" of the company.

The statement did not go unanswered: Seth Rollins appeared with his championship in hand and stood face to face with Rhodes. Neither spoke a word, but the silence was broken with a powerful image: both raising their titles in front of the cameras, causing the audience to cheer and immediate speculation to erupt on social media.

The face-off made it clear that WWE was sowing the seed for a historic clash. Rumors pointed to Crown Jewel as the setting, and confirmation was not long in coming. On the post-event panel, Triple H confirmed that Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins will face off next month in a champion vs. champion match.

With this announcement, WWE aims to repeat the formula from last year at Crown Jewel, where Cody defeated Gunther in a clash between champions. On that occasion, the company put the Crown Jewel Championship on the line. Cody will seek to retain the title in Perth, Australia.
