Following the recent conclusion of Wrestlepalooza, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has commenced its build-up for Crown Jewel 2025, an event marking a significant geographical shift for the premium live event. This year, the spectacle will emanate from the RAC Arena in Perth, Australia, departing from its traditional home in Saudi Arabia. Scheduled for Saturday, October 11, the event is set to feature a card anchored by two champion-versus-champion contests for the honorary Crown Jewel championships, alongside a series of high-profile encounters involving returning legends and heated rivalries.
The main event status is shared by the Men’s and Women’s Crown Jewel Championship matches, which pit the respective brand champions against one another. For the men, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes is slated to face World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins. The women’s equivalent will see Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer contend with WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton. Adding further star power, multi-time world champion John Cena is scheduled for one of his final announced appearances, taking on long-time rival AJ Styles. Former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns is also set to make his return to a pay-per-view card, engaging Bronson Reed in an Australian Street Fight. The event’s robust card is rounded out by a tag team clash featuring Asuka and Kairi Sane against the formidable duo of Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley.
Men’s Crown Jewel Championship: Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins
The collision between Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins represents a pivotal moment in WWE’s championship landscape. The two champions came face-to-face shortly after Wrestlepalooza, with the champion-versus-champion encounter swiftly established. Their history is extensive and deeply personal, tracing back to Rhodes’ unexpected return at WrestleMania 38 as Rollins’ mystery opponent, a rivalry that subsequently escalated through multiple high-stakes matches, including a memorable Hell in a Cell encounter.

Rollins, known for his flamboyant persona and revolutionary "vision" for professional wrestling, has publicly questioned Rhodes’ leadership and long-term aspirations for the industry. During recent media engagements, Rollins was quoted stating, "I wonder what Cody truly thinks of my vision for the future of this business, a vision I’ve dedicated years to building." Conversely, Rhodes has cast doubts on Rollins’ self-proclaimed status as "the best in the world," often highlighting Rollins’ reliance on allies. Rhodes reportedly responded to Rollins’ comments by questioning, "If Seth truly believes he’s the best in the world, why does he constantly need the backup of his ‘goons’?" This narrative thread adds a psychological layer to their upcoming physical confrontation. Beyond the honorary Crown Jewel title, this match carries significant implications for each champion’s standing, with the winner potentially staking a claim as the undisputed top male competitor in the company.
Women’s Crown Jewel Championship: Stephanie Vaquer vs. Tiffany Stratton
The Women’s Crown Jewel Championship match pits two distinct champions against each other for the first time in their careers. Stephanie Vaquer, who captured the Women’s World Championship at Wrestlepalooza in a critically acclaimed bout against Iyo Sky for the vacant title, brings a hard-hitting, technical style honed on the international independent circuit. Her reign as Women’s World Champion, though nascent, has been characterized by resilient performances and a no-nonsense approach.
She will face WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton, who has held her title since the beginning of the year, establishing herself as a dominant force with a unique blend of athleticism, gymnastics, and aggressive tactics. Stratton is fresh off a grueling triple threat defense against Jade Cargill and Nia Jax on the September 26 edition of SmackDown, a match that saw Cargill suffer a significant cut. The stylistic clash between Vaquer’s Lucha Libre-influenced grappling and Stratton’s high-impact offense is anticipated to be a highlight of the Perth event. This encounter is not only for the honorary Crown Jewel championship but also serves as a crucial test for both champions, as they seek to establish supremacy in WWE’s evolving women’s division.
AJ Styles vs. John Cena
Crown Jewel 2025 is set to host a highly anticipated revisit of one of WWE’s most iconic rivalries of the 2010s, as John Cena steps into the ring against AJ Styles. This match carries an additional layer of poignancy, as it is billed as one of Cena’s final appearances before his expected retirement from in-ring competition by the end of the year. Styles himself has indicated a similar timeline, recently stating his expectation to retire from full-time wrestling by the close of 2026.
The previous encounters between Cena and Styles, particularly their series in 2016 and 2017 – including classic bouts at SummerSlam and Royal Rumble – are widely regarded as some of the finest matches of Cena’s illustrious career. Their chemistry, characterized by crisp execution and compelling storytelling, resonated deeply with audiences. The narrative for this renewed clash largely revolves around this shared history and the desire for both men to deliver another memorable performance as their careers wind down. While no overt animosity has been established in the current build-up, the high stakes of their personal legacies remain paramount. Speculation persists regarding potential external factors, with some observers suggesting the possibility of a surprise intervention from a figure like Brock Lesnar, given Lesnar’s past interactions with Cena during his career twilight. Such an occurrence, though unconfirmed, would add another dramatic twist to this farewell tour encounter.
Roman Reigns vs. Bronson Reed (Australian Street Fight)
Roman Reigns is slated for his highly anticipated return to a premium live event card, facing Bronson Reed in an Australian Street Fight. This match serves as a direct rematch from Clash in Paris, where Reigns emerged victorious but subsequently suffered a brutal post-match assault from Reed that left him sidelined. Reigns’ recent return to active competition has set the stage for this vengeful encounter.
With Paul Heyman by his side, Reed capitalized on the opportunity to challenge Reigns to a rematch, specifically requesting an Australian Street Fight—a match type Reed claims to have "made famous" in his home country. Reigns, eager to settle the score, promptly accepted the no-rules stipulation. The "Australian Street Fight" designation takes on added significance with the event being held in Perth, providing Reed with a unique home-turf advantage. This stipulation allows for extreme measures and weapon usage, aligning with Reed’s brawling style and promising a chaotic affair. For Reigns, this match is not just about retribution; it marks a crucial step in reasserting his dominance following his injury-induced absence, potentially shaping his trajectory for the remainder of the year.
Asuka & Kairi Sane vs. Iyo Sky & Rhea Ripley
The women’s tag team division will witness a volatile clash born from internal strife, as Asuka and Kairi Sane unite to face the unexpected pairing of Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley. This rivalry has its roots in weeks of simmering tension and eventual implosion within the factions previously associated with Sky and Asuka. The turning point occurred when Asuka finally betrayed Sky, targeting her with her signature mist after Sky had attempted to protect Ripley during an earlier confrontation.
Kairi Sane subsequently aligned herself with Asuka, publicly crediting Asuka with their presence in WWE and asserting loyalty to her. An attempt by Sane and Asuka to reconcile with Sky, offering her a chance to "apologize and return to her family," was met with another mist attack on Sky. This incident served as the final catalyst, pushing Sky, who had reportedly struggled to break away from Asuka’s influence, into a new alliance. She found common ground with Rhea Ripley, a former rival who has historically had a complex relationship with Damage CTRL (the faction Sky and Sane were part of). Ripley, known for her powerful and aggressive in-ring style, has sided with Sky to counter the renewed threat posed by the reunited "Kabuki Warriors" (Asuka and Sane). This tag team encounter is not merely a contest for bragging rights but a deeply personal vendetta, with significant implications for the power dynamics within the women’s locker room and the potential for new alliances to form or fracture.
Crown Jewel 2025 in Perth represents a strategic move for WWE, aiming to expand its global footprint and tap into new markets with a major premium live event. The card, featuring a mix of championship unification aspirations, legendary farewells, and intensely personal rivalries, underscores WWE’s commitment to delivering a high-impact show for its growing international audience. The event from RAC Arena is poised to be a landmark occasion, setting the stage for future narratives and potentially altering the landscape of WWE’s top championships.
