Seth Rollins To Defend World Heavyweight Title At Crown Jewel 2023
Following a gruesome last man standing match at Fastlane, World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins already has his next challenger lined up. As Rollins addressed the fans, Drew McIntyre went to the ring to stake his claim at a title shot.
‘The Scottish Warrior’ mentioned that he wanted the champion “as close to 100% as possible” and, as such, would be willing to wait. The two soon agreed to meet at the Crown Jewel event on November 4.
The Judgement Day’s Damian Priest soon attacked Rollins, seemingly with the intention of cashing in his Money in the Bank contract, but McIntyre promptly stopped this from happening. The title bout between Rollins and McIntyre holds for now.
The World Heavyweight Championship is the first match to be added to the Crown Jewel card, hinting that the build towards this event will begin early.
