His victory was complemented by an array of tributes to past opponents and beloved legends. From performing moves reminiscent of The Miz to Chris Jericho, Cena's respect for his predecessors illustrated just how much wrestling history means to him. The atmosphere was electric, and fans were on their feet, chanting as Cena delivered a stunning Sister Abigail, igniting nostalgia and excitement alike.

Following the legends, it was Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes who caught everyone's attention, engaging in a thrilling contest where Rollins ultimately claimed victory with the aid of a Rolex watch gifted by Rhodes. This was not just a match; it was the culmination of their ongoing rivalry— one that has shaped their careers.
With this win, Rollins secured the Men's Crown Jewel Championship, showing promise for what the future holds in professional wrestling.
