Perth, Australia is set to host WWE Crown Jewel 2025 on Saturday, October 11, marking a significant departure from the event’s traditional staging in Saudi Arabia. The RAC Arena will serve as the venue for this premium live event, which follows the recent Wrestlepalooza and features a card anchored by championship encounters and high-profile returns. The event is scheduled to commence at 7:00 PM AWST (Australian Western Standard Time), translating to 7:00 AM EDT / 4:00 AM PDT in North America, and 12:00 PM BST in the United Kingdom, with a kickoff show preceding the main card.
This move to Perth signifies WWE’s continued expansion into the Australian market, building on the success of events like Super Show-Down in Melbourne in 2018 and the Elimination Chamber in Perth earlier this year. The decision to bring Crown Jewel to Australia for the first time underlines the region’s growing importance for global wrestling audiences and offers a fresh backdrop for one of WWE’s key annual events. Organizers anticipate a capacity crowd at the RAC Arena, which previously hosted a sold-out Elimination Chamber, contributing to the event’s unique atmosphere and potentially setting new viewership records for the franchise in the Oceania region.
The event’s centerpiece will be two "Crown Jewel Championship" matches, pitting the top champions from both the men’s and women’s divisions against each other for an honorary title, a format established in previous iterations of the event.

The highly anticipated main event will feature a clash between two of WWE’s most prominent figures: Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins. This encounter represents a continuation of a storied rivalry that dates back to Rhodes’ unexpected return at WrestleMania 38 in 2022, where he was revealed as Rollins’ mystery opponent. Their subsequent series of matches, including a grueling Hell in a Cell match, are widely regarded as pivotal moments in Rhodes’ comeback narrative.
The build-up to their Crown Jewel confrontation began shortly after Wrestlepalooza, where both champions secured their respective titles or defended them successfully. Reports indicate that the two men engaged in a heated verbal exchange, with Rollins questioning Rhodes’ "vision" for the future of professional wrestling and Rhodes, in turn, criticizing Rollins’ reliance on "goons" – a reference to perceived alliances or factions supporting Rollins – if he truly considers himself "the best in the world." This exchange underscores the personal animosity and philosophical differences that fuel their rivalry.
Rhodes, who captured the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 40, has maintained a consistent record of high-profile victories and title defenses, solidifying his position as the company’s top male champion. Rollins, a multi-time world champion, has similarly showcased a dominant reign as World Heavyweight Champion since its reintroduction. Their individual statistics reflect a strong showing on premium live events, with both competitors boasting impressive win percentages in championship matches over the past year. This match not only offers the prestige of the Crown Jewel Championship but also serves as a measuring stick for the top male competitor in WWE as the year draws to a close.
Women’s Crown Jewel Championship: Stephanie Vaquer (Women’s World Champion) vs. Tiffany Stratton (WWE Women’s Champion)
In the women’s division, the Crown Jewel Championship will be contested between newly crowned Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer and the reigning WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton. Vaquer secured her title at Wrestlepalooza in a critically acclaimed match against Iyo Sky for the vacant championship, showcasing her technical prowess and hard-hitting style honed in promotions like NJPW STRONG and CMLL. Her victory marked a significant moment, elevating her to a main roster championship just months after her full-time WWE debut.
Tiffany Stratton, on the other hand, has held the WWE Women’s Championship since the beginning of the year, establishing herself as a dominant force with her athletic ability and confident persona. Her reign has been characterized by successful defenses against a diverse range of competitors. Most recently, Stratton emerged victorious from a brutal triple threat match on SmackDown on September 26, facing formidable opponents Jade Cargill and Nia Jax. The match, which reportedly left Cargill visibly injured, highlighted Stratton’s resilience and willingness to compete in high-stakes, physically demanding contests.
This match marks the first encounter between Vaquer and Stratton in their careers, making it a fresh and unpredictable dynamic for the Crown Jewel Championship. The clash of Vaquer’s seasoned international style against Stratton’s homegrown WWE athleticism and charisma is expected to provide a compelling contest, determining which champion will claim the honorary Crown Jewel title and assert dominance in the women’s division.
AJ Styles vs. John Cena: A Legacy Revisited
Crown Jewel will also feature a highly anticipated singles match between two generational talents, AJ Styles and John Cena. This encounter revisits one of the most acclaimed rivalries of the 2010s, which produced a series of five-star matches, including their memorable bouts at SummerSlam 2016 and Royal Rumble 2017. Their previous encounters were characterized by a seamless blend of Styles’ "Phenomenal" athleticism and Cena’s powerful, resilient "never give up" ethos.
The significance of this match is heightened by the career trajectories of both competitors. John Cena has openly stated that his appearances are becoming increasingly limited, with only a handful of dates remaining through the end of the year before an expected retirement from in-ring competition. He has been out of action since Wrestlepalooza, making this one of his final scheduled performances. Similarly, AJ Styles has indicated his intention to retire by the end of 2026, positioning this match as a significant chapter in the twilight of his illustrious career.
While the primary narrative for this match revolves around the revisit of their classic rivalry, with no explicit animosity currently reported, the possibility of external interference remains a speculative element. Given Cena’s history of unexpected attacks, particularly from figures like Brock Lesnar, any such event could alter the context of one of his final appearances. The match is framed as a celebration of their shared legacy and an opportunity for fans to witness another chapter in a rivalry that defined an era.
Roman Reigns vs. Bronson Reed (Australian Street Fight)
Roman Reigns is slated to make his return to a premium live event card at Crown Jewel, facing Bronson Reed in an Australian Street Fight. This match is a direct consequence of their previous encounter at Clash in Paris, where Reigns secured a victory before Reed unleashed a post-match assault that reportedly sidelined the "Tribal Chief" for a period. Reigns’ absence from active competition following the attack has fueled speculation regarding his recovery and readiness for a high-stakes return.
Upon Reigns’ recent return, Reed, accompanied by Paul Heyman, immediately challenged Reigns to a rematch, specifically requesting an Australian Street Fight – a stipulation that Reed claims to have "made famous" and that offers a distinct home-country advantage given Reed’s Australian heritage. Reigns readily accepted the challenge, setting the stage for a no-rules encounter.
The Australian Street Fight stipulation ensures a chaotic and potentially brutal contest, allowing for the use of weapons and falls counting anywhere. For Reigns, this match marks a crucial test of his resilience and dominance following his recovery. For Reed, it represents an opportunity to secure a definitive victory over one of WWE’s most dominant champions in front of his home crowd, potentially elevating his status within the company. Paul Heyman’s presence at ringside adds another layer of intrigue, given his historical association with both competitors.
Asuka & Kairi Sane vs. Iyo Sky & Rhea Ripley: Tag Team Turmoil
A significant tag team match at Crown Jewel will see the reunited duo of Asuka and Kairi Sane take on the formidable pairing of Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley. This match stems from weeks of escalating tension and a dramatic split within the Damage CTRL faction. Reports indicate that a long-teased rift between Asuka and Sky finally materialized after Asuka turned on Sky, following an incident where Sky intervened to protect Ripley from an Asuka mist attack.
Kairi Sane subsequently sided with Asuka, publicly stating that Asuka was instrumental in bringing both Sane and Sky to WWE. The duo then offered Sky a chance to reconcile and return to her "family," an offer that was met with resistance. The situation escalated further when Sky herself became a victim of Asuka’s signature mist attack, which proved to be the final catalyst for Sky to break away from her former ally.
The formation of the new alliance between Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley, both dominant champions in their own right, against the veteran and recently reunited team of Asuka and Kairi Sane, sets the stage for a high-impact tag team contest. This match is expected to be a pivotal moment in the ongoing narrative of the women’s tag team division, potentially establishing new power dynamics and rivalries heading into the final quarter of the year. The psychological warfare and personal betrayals leading up to this match are expected to translate into an intense in-ring confrontation.
WWE Crown Jewel 2025 in Perth is poised to deliver a card packed with championship stakes, legacy matches, and personal rivalries, showcasing WWE’s global reach and commitment to delivering premium live entertainment.
