This week’s episode of WWE RAW featured pivotal moments that could set the stage for major developments at the upcoming Crown Jewel event on October 11th in Perth, Australia. The WWE RAW Crown Jewel Spoilers highlight intense rivalries and unexpected alliances, promising a gripping premium live event far from its traditional location in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
After seven years of hosting Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, WWE is shifting the event to Australia, adding a fresh dynamic to the show. Confirmed participants include notable stars such as Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Stephanie Vaquer, Tiffany Stratton, and John Cena, who is currently on his retirement tour. What happened in Raleigh, North Carolina, during RAW offers clues about the matches and storylines heading into Crown Jewel 2025.
CM Punk’s Potential Interference Could Impact the Crown Jewel Championship
The Men’s Crown Jewel Championship, featuring Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes against World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, remains one of the most anticipated matches at the event. Their rivalry has escalated following weeks of psychological warfare, with Rhodes sowing discord within Rollins’ faction, The Vision. This has intensified Rollins’ determination to defeat Rhodes for the first time since his WWE return at WrestleMania 38 in 2022.
However, Rollins may face unexpected obstacles in his quest. CM Punk, motivated by resentment after losing his World Heavyweight Championship to Rollins at SummerSlam, appears aligned with Rhodes. Punk’s involvement could be the deciding factor that shifts the match in Rhodes’ favor by undermining Rollins at a crucial moment.
Brock Lesnar’s Role as a Deceptive Ally in the Rollins vs. Rhodes Battle
Paul Heyman’s reunion with Brock Lesnar at WWE Wrestlepalooza caught many fans off guard, and Rollins’ potential approval of this move suggests a high-stakes strategy. Lesnar is likely to serve as Rollins’ secret weapon during the Crown Jewel match, initially seeming to support Rhodes by raising his hand in the ring. This deceptive gesture could lead to Lesnar delivering his signature F5 move on Rhodes, providing Rollins with a tactical edge.
The relationship between Lesnar and Rhodes has evolved, including moments of respect at SummerSlam 2023. Yet, the rivalry could resurface if Lesnar seeks to challenge Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship in the near future, further complicating the alliances on display at Crown Jewel.
Tensions Rise as Jimmy Uso Distances Himself From Roman Reigns and Jey Uso
Within the ranks of The Usos, growing discord threatens to break the familial unity seen on WWE RAW. Jey Uso has recently been embracing a leadership role, reminiscent of his cousin Roman Reigns’ dominance as The Original Tribal Chief. Following a harsh defeat at the hands of The Vision (Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed), Roman Reigns intervened to retaliate against the attackers, strengthening his bond with Jey in what felt like a passing-of-the-torch moment.
Despite this unity between Reigns and Jey, Jimmy Uso—known as Big Jim—appears increasingly disconnected. Leading into Crown Jewel, Jimmy is expected to reject the tactics of his cousin and brother, distancing himself from their direction and showing disapproval by refusing assistance after being beaten by Breakker and Reed. This fraying relationship adds a layer of unpredictability to any potential rematch against The Vision.
Iyo Sky’s Conflict May Leave Rhea Ripley to Face The Kabuki Warriors Alone
The dynamic within the women’s division is also strained as Iyo Sky grapples with loyalty conflicts. After Asuka’s betrayal last week, Sky remains torn, still wishing to preserve her alliance with Asuka and Kairi Sane, members of The Kabuki Warriors, despite their recent actions. Meanwhile, Rhea Ripley has continuously expressed her support for Sky, pointing out how Sky’s former allies have abandoned her.
The duo is scheduled to face The Kabuki Warriors at Crown Jewel, yet Sky’s internal struggle may cause her to hesitate or even abandon Ripley during the match. This uncertainty does not necessarily indicate a heel turn for Sky but suggests a conflicted stance that could dramatically influence the match’s outcome and future storylines involving strong Japanese wrestling ties.
As Crown Jewel approaches, many questions remain unanswered, particularly regarding the full SmackDown card and how these evolving story arcs will unfold. Fans are encouraged to stay engaged as WWE builds toward a premium live event filled with high stakes, surprising twists, and significant shifts in alliances and rivalries.
