Perth, Australia is poised to host the World Wrestling Entertainment’s (WWE) Crown Jewel event on Saturday, October 11, marking a significant milestone as the premium live event ventures outside of Saudi Arabia for the first time in its history. The RAC Arena will serve as the battleground for an evening of high-octane professional wrestling, featuring two main event championship bouts and several grudge matches that underscore WWE’s expanding global footprint and strategic push into new markets.
The decision to bring Crown Jewel to Australia follows a series of successful international ventures for WWE, including events in Europe and North Africa, signaling a concerted effort to broaden its audience reach and capitalize on fervent fan bases worldwide. The RAC Arena, known for its capacity to host major sporting and entertainment spectacles, is expected to draw a near-capacity crowd, with local authorities anticipating a substantial economic boost for the city of Perth through tourism and event-related spending.
The symbolic Crown Jewel championship will be contested in both the men’s and women’s divisions, elevating the stakes for two of the evening’s most anticipated encounters. In the men’s main event, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes is slated to face World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins. This highly anticipated clash rekindles a storied rivalry that has captivated the WWE Universe over the past few years. Rhodes, having "finished the story" at WrestleMania by capturing the Undisputed WWE Championship, has been on an impressive run, defending his title against a diverse range of challengers and solidifying his position as the company’s top male star. His reign has been characterized by resilience and fan support, cementing his status since his return to WWE. Rollins, the inaugural World Heavyweight Champion, has cultivated a reputation as a cunning and unpredictable competitor, often leveraging his tactical prowess and high-flying offense to outmaneuver opponents. Their past encounters, including a memorable trilogy that saw Rollins push Rhodes to his physical limits, suggest that this contest for the symbolic Crown Jewel championship will be a technical masterpiece interwoven with intense personal animosity. The match carries the added intrigue of a potential unification if the symbolic title were to influence the standing of their respective championships, though WWE has historically kept the primary titles distinct unless explicitly stated. Both champions boast impressive records in high-stakes matches, with Rhodes carrying a strong momentum from recent title defenses and Rollins demonstrating his ability to perform under pressure against elite competition.
On the women’s side, Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer will put her title on the line against WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton. Vaquer, a rising star known for her submission-based style and technical precision, has steadily climbed the ranks to secure her championship. Her reign has been marked by a series of hard-fought defenses against established competitors, showcasing her tenacity and expanding skill set. Stratton, a former gymnast, has rapidly ascended through the WWE ranks, captivating audiences with her athleticism, confident persona, and dynamic in-ring style. Her "It’s Tiffy Time" catchphrase has resonated with fans, and her championship reign has highlighted her explosive power and agility. This matchup pits two distinct styles against each other: Vaquer’s methodical, ground-based approach versus Stratton’s acrobatic, high-impact offense. The winner of this symbolic Crown Jewel championship will undoubtedly gain significant momentum and further solidify their standing at the top of the women’s division. Both champions have maintained strong win-loss records in their respective divisions, with Vaquer’s recent defenses showcasing her ability to adapt to various opponents, and Stratton’s performances demonstrating her explosive capabilities.

Beyond the championship battles, Crown Jewel 2025 features several other compelling matchups designed to engage the global audience. John Cena, embarking on what he has described as one of the final legs of his illustrious career, is scheduled to face his long-time rival AJ Styles. This encounter marks another chapter in a rivalry that has produced some of the most critically acclaimed matches in WWE history, including their legendary bouts at SummerSlam and the Royal Rumble. Cena, a 16-time World Champion, continues to draw massive crowd reactions, even in a limited capacity. Styles, a veteran known for his "Phenomenal" athleticism and technical mastery, remains a top-tier performer capable of delivering memorable performances. This match is expected to be a poignant and hard-hitting affair, with both competitors looking to add another classic encounter to their storied history before Cena potentially steps away from full-time competition. Cena’s recent appearances have seen him in various roles, but his in-ring performances continue to defy expectations, while Styles remains a consistent main event presence, recently involved in high-profile feuds.
The card also features an Australian Street Fight between Roman Reigns and local hero Bronson Reed. Reigns, a dominant force in WWE for over a decade, has consistently proven his mettle in stipulation matches. His presence on the card, particularly in a no-holds-barred environment, promises a brutal contest. Bronson Reed, an Australian native, will undoubtedly benefit from the overwhelming home-crowd support. Known for his immense power and agility for a man his size, Reed will be looking to capitalize on the unique opportunity to face one of WWE’s most decorated superstars in his home country. An "Australian Street Fight" typically implies a no-disqualification, no-count-out match where anything goes, potentially incorporating elements or weapons that pay homage to Australian culture. This stipulation favors Reed’s brawling style and brute strength, while Reigns has demonstrated his adaptability in such chaotic environments throughout his career, including numerous successful defenses in extreme rules matches. The crowd’s reaction for Reed is expected to be electric, potentially influencing the flow and intensity of the match.
Adding to the event’s depth is a tag team showdown pitting the formidable duo of Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley against the highly decorated Kabuki Warriors, comprising Asuka and Kairi Sane. This match carries significant narrative weight, as Iyo Sky and Kairi Sane were once stablemates in Damage CTRL, a faction that saw its share of internal strife. Rhea Ripley, a dominant force in the women’s division, brings raw power and aggression to her partnership with the high-flying and agile Iyo Sky. Their combined styles present a formidable challenge. The Kabuki Warriors, known for their synchronized offense, striking ability, and tactical precision, are one of the most cohesive and dangerous tag teams in WWE history, holding multiple championships. This match could potentially reignite old rivalries and establish new power dynamics within the women’s tag team division, offering a blend of athleticism, technical wrestling, and compelling storytelling. All four competitors have strong individual and tag team records, with Ripley and Sky having recently demonstrated impressive teamwork in various multi-person matches, while Asuka and Kairi Sane’s long-standing partnership gives them an advantage in cohesion.
