Seth Rollins Will Defend World Heavyweight Title Against Drew McIntyre At WWE Crown Jewel 2023

On October 10th, 2023, Monday Night Raw was a sight to behold. Seth Rollins entered the ring. The glittering WWE World Heavyweight Championship title, shining brightly, was proudly wrapped around his waist. The crowd’s reaction was mixed with boos and cheers, a testament to Rollins’ ability to stir emotions in the WWE universe.

The title didn’t come easy. It was a reminder of a brutal match that took place last week at WWE Fastlane 2023 against Shinsuke Nakamura. For those who missed it, that match was not just a regular one; it was a Last Man Standing match.

Rollins grabbed the microphone, his voice echoing throughout the arena. “Winning this title,” he began, “was not a walk in the park.” He shared how the match with Nakamura pushed him harder than any match before. Every punch, every slam, every moment where he thought he couldn’t get up, but did, was a testament to his grit and determination. “Nakamura sent me to my limits,” he admitted, “but look where I am now.”

There was pride in Rollins’ eyes as said, “I’m ready for anyone who thinks they can take this from me!” As fans absorbed his words, discussing among themselves who could be the next contender, a familiar sound blasted through the speakers.

Bagpipes. The arena’s atmosphere changed in an instant. Drew McIntyre’s music hit, and the Scottish Warrior made his way to the ring. With every step Drew took, the anticipation grew.

Seth Rollins, wearing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship belt, looked at him with a sly smile. “Are you here for the party?” he asked.

Drew, always serious when it comes to his craft, simply replied, “I’m not here for any party.”

Seth laughed a little and said, “That’s too bad. I didn’t even get one night to celebrate my big win at WWE Fastlane.” He patted his championship belt, reminding everyone of his victory.

“But you know what?” Seth continued, “It doesn’t matter. Give me a minute. I’ll change into my wrestling gear, and we can have our match right now. Tonight.” The crowd roared in excitement. The idea of a surprise title match was thrilling.

But Drew raised his hand, quieting the audience. “You can keep your party going, Seth,” he said calmly. “I’m not the type of wrestler who attacks from behind or surprises you in the parking lot. That’s not how I do things.”

Everyone listened closely to Drew’s words. He was making a point about honor in wrestling. “I came here tonight to look you in the eyes,” he continued. “I want to face Seth Rollins when he’s at his 100% best.”

Then, Drew made a big announcement, “I think the right place for Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins to battle for the WWE Heavyweight Championship is at Crown Jewel.” The audience cheered even louder. It sounded like a dream match.

Seth, always wanting to engage with the fans, decided to get their opinion. “What do you think, folks?” he asked, pointing the microphone to the crowd. “Do you want to see me defend my title against Drew McIntyre at Crown Jewel?”

The answer was a deafening “YES!” from the fans. They stomped their feet, clapped their hands, and chanted in unison. It was clear. The WWE Universe wanted this match.

With a wide grin, Seth looked at Drew and said, “Well, I guess that settles it. We’ve got ourselves a match at Crown Jewel!” Drew nodded, his face showing determination and focus.

But Seth, not missing a beat, added, “And now that we’ve got our match set, I think it’s another great reason to party tonight!” He raised his championship belt high, signaling the celebration’s continuation.

The segment ended with fans buzzing with excitement. Two of WWE’s top superstars had just agreed to a match on one of the biggest stages. And it all happened in a way that showed respect and sportsmanship.

In short, it was a night full of surprises and lessons. And the best part? The promise of an epic showdown between Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre at Crown Jewel. Everyone was eagerly waiting for the big day.
