5 possible finishes to Seth Rollins vs. Edge at Crown Jewel 2021

The Edge-Seth Rollins saga culminates this Thursday at Crown Jewel inside Hell in a Cell. As history has shown, the Devil's Playground is often the final blowoff in a long-standing war between two bitter enemies.

If you've been keeping up with this feud, you'd probably agree that there's no better way to end such an intense rivalry.

Initially, the beef between the two started over the fact that Rollins felt he was more deserving of a title shot than Edge was. After failing to win this year's Money in the Bank ladder match, Rollins would then go on to aide Roman Reigns in defeating Edge for the WWE Universal Championship.

Although their rivalry may have stemmed from Rollins' jealousy over The Rated-R Superstar's title opportunity, things have gotten much more personal over the past few weeks.

On the October 1st episode of Friday Night Smackdown, Rollins broke into Edge's house. In the week that followed, Edge would gain some retribution by attacking his rival on SmackDown.

With their epic Hell in a Cell bout just days away, you might be asking yourself just how one of WWE's greatest sagas ends. Read on for five possible finishes:

#5 Seth Rollins submits yet again

In what will go down as a true SummerSlam classic, Edge and Seth Rollins' first encounter ended via submission. Despite a valiant effort by Rollins, he eventually found himself in the trenches of the WWE Hall of Famer's modified crossface and tapped out.

In their upcoming Hell in a Cell showdown, Rollins may tap out yet again. It also wouldn't be a surprise, if this time around, things end up going a step further.

Whether it involves barbed wire, a baseball bat, ring ropes, or a lead pipe, nothing is off-limits when you're locked inside a steel cell with a man whose home you invaded.

#4 Seth Rollins stomps his way to victory

You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who says Seth Rollins is better when he's a babyface as opposed to when he's a heel.

Maybe it's the voice. It could be the mannerisms and the attitude, or it might just be his outlandishly awful wardrobe. Whatever it is, the former four-time world champion seems to have a knack for getting under people's skins.

If Rollins walks out of Crown Jewel with his hand raised after everything that's transpired thus far, he'll never let the WWE Universe hear the end of it.

#3 A crazy spot involving the cell

Edge has been known to do some crazy things throughout his legendary career. From spears through flaming tables, spears off ladders, getting put through thumbtacks; you name it, and The Rated-R Superstar has probably already done it.

With all the iconic Hell in a Cell moments that have happened involving the steel structure over the years, we might see yet another at WWE's Crown Jewel pay-per-view.

Although he's gotten older now, Edge is still more than capable of doing whatever needs to be done in order to get the fans on their feet. On the other hand, the relatively young Seth Rollins is likelier to take such risky bumps in 2021.

While a spear through the cell has already been done on a few occasions, an Impaler DDT off the top of the cell hasn't. Who's to say The Rated-R Superstar won't bust out an old trick for the occasion to pick up the victory?

#2 Edge wins after hitting Seth Rollins with multiple spears

The finish to a match doesn't always have to be unique. Sometimes, the story that superstars tell before the grand finale is what counts the most.

Hitting your opponent with your finisher several times isn't a new trend in the modern era of pro wrestling. It's quite common.

If Edge is going to use the spear to defeat his arch-foe, chances are, he'll need to hit more than one on a superstar of Rollins' caliber.

#1 Referee Stoppage

If this has happened before, it can happen once more, unfortunately.

In what might be described as the worst finish to a Hell in a Cell match, Seth Rollins and 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt's encounter in 2019 ended after the referee deemed Rollins' use of a sledgehammer to be 'too much.'

The finish was criticized by the majority of fans due to the implication that since their clash was contested inside Hell in a Cell, there were no rules. Fans in attendance made their presence felt that night with loud chants of "AEW," "Refund," and "Restart the Match" filling the arena.

Let's just hope that Edge vs. Rollins is a different story. It would be a shame if a rivalry so heated and so intense didn't get a proper conclusion. It's been marvelous so far and it deserves an epic ending.
