Seth Rollins may have walked out of WWE Crown Jewel 2025 as champion, but the crowd in attendance made it clear they weren’t thrilled. After defeating Cody Rhodes to win the Crown Jewel Championship, Rollins faced a chorus of jeers and vulgar chants that pushed him over the edge during the post-show segment.
As Rollins began to address the crowd, fans kept interrupting him with chants that included demands like taking off his sunglasses. Rollins initially tried to calm things down, especially pointing out the presence of young fans in the audience.
“There are children here! Relax! What’s wrong with you? Hey! You know what…”
But the crowd didn’t stop. Instead, they doubled down, chanting “shut the f*** up” in unison. That’s when Rollins really lost it and fired back in full-on rage mode.
“It’s not about you! It’s not about you! You wanna come up here? You wanna come up here? You wanna come up here and do what I do?! There’s a reason you’re all out there and I’m right here! It’s because it’s not about you — and the sooner you figure that out, the better off you’re all gonna be!”
The moment added even more controversy to an already polarizing event. Fans were already torn about Rollins beating Rhodes, and his outburst only fueled more debate.
Whether fans support Rollins’ reaction or think he crossed a line, it’s clear emotions were running wild in Riyadh. Wrestlers are human too, and sometimes, enough is enough.
