Seth Rollins has proved once again that PWI rightfully ranked him as the top wrestler in the world. After battling a poor back into the match, Rollins managed to fight a vicious Shinsuke Nakamura in a thrilling last-man-standing match. But his victory came at the cost of more damage to his lower back.
However, the past is the past and Rollins is now looking into the future as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Let us look at the probable opponents for Rollins at Crown Jewel, which is just 26 days away.

A slight change in his gimmick and fighting style helped push Shinsuke Nakamura to become a tough opponent for Seth Rollins. After his win at Payback, Rollins was confident against Nakamura but the king of strong style brought his A-game at Fastlane. Rollins won the match after delivering Pedigree, Curb Stomp, and a Falcon Arrow to Nakamura for a ten-count.
But now with Crown Jewel less than four weeks away, Rollins is looking forward to probable opponents to feud against. We look at a few options WWE has at hand for Seth Rollins.
1. Drew McIntyre: In the past few weeks, Drew McIntyre has shown his frustration at RAW. He was not happy with Jey Uso’s inclusion in the RAW brand. There is a strong inclination that he might turn heel soon and might go for a world title that he has not held since losing to Lashley. McIntyre is a solid upper-card performer who can put up good matches.
2. Randy Orton: The Viper has been missing from the action since May 2022 after The Usos attacked Randy Orton after their match. There is a high possibility that Orton might return to re-ignite his high-profile rivalry with Rollins. The two superstars have feuded many times in the past, including their memorable WrestleMania 31 match. However, it all depends upon his recovery.
3. Logan Paul: The Maverick only appears when the stage is big and the Saudi Arabia stage fits the bill for Logan Paul. The social media star fought Rollins at WrestleMania 39 and Roman Reigns at last year’s Crown Jewel main event. Going by the trend of Crown Jewel to stage high-profile matches, fans can expect another Logan Paul appearance.

4. Ricochet: The 34-year-old star lost his title match opportunity to Nakamura at RAW. But since he is fit now, he might demand his opportunity to face Rollins. If Rollins agrees, this might be their first match at WWE, 17 years after they feuded at the Indie circuit when Rollins was Tyler Black.
5. Damian Priest: Though Mami stopped him from cashing in his MITB, he is probably the biggest threat to Seth Rollins at the moment. Backed up by his Judgment Day mates, he will be lurking in for an opportunity to beat Rollins and become the next champion.
