The WWE Crown Jewel 2025 event shapes up with one marquee match confirmed as Seth Rollins prepares to defend the Men’s Crown Jewel Championship against Cody Rhodes. This highly anticipated showdown follows the first-ever Wrestlepalooza, signaling a major highlight for the upcoming event in Perth, Australia.
While Rollins has yet to defend his title since claiming it, his match against Rhodes promises intense competition and will likely be the focal point as Crown Jewel approaches. Meanwhile, Stephanie Vaquer recently claimed the vacant Women’s World Championship by defeating IYO SKY, and with her new title reign just beginning, she is expected to retain her championship heading into the event.
Potential Matchups and Predicted Card for Crown Jewel in Perth
Other notable matches and rivalries appear to be taking shape for WWE Crown Jewel 2025, with various storylines pointing to significant clashes. One prospective bout could involve La Primera facing Tiffany Stratton, although Stratton’s involvement in a high-profile Triple Threat match on SmackDown could impact these plans. The upcoming event’s card continues to develop as WWE balances ongoing rivalries and character arcs.
Bronson Reed vs. Jacob Fatu: A Clash of Titans Returns
Bronson Reed, known as The Aus-Zilla, missed WWE’s last visit to Australia due to a family emergency, but he is poised for a major match this time around. As a key member of RAW’s primary faction, Reed’s involvement against Jacob Fatu presents an intriguing storyline. With Jimmy Uso relocating to RAW and Sami Zayn moving to a new role as US Champion, the match could build toward a larger Bloodline versus Vision WarGames confrontation. Jacob Fatu’s potential appearance in Perth signals a reunion and renewed rivalry with Reed, bringing powerful energy to Crown Jewel.
Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY vs. The Kabuki Warriors: Spotlight on Women’s Rivalries
With Stephanie Vaquer’s focus on her Women’s Crown Jewel Championship defense, Rhea Ripley will shift her attention to other key matches. As WWE’s top Australian star, Ripley is expected to be featured prominently. The ongoing tensions between IYO SKY and The Kabuki Warriors create a natural storyline for a tag match, likely to take place at the event rather than on television programming. This clash offers a continuation of existing rivalries involving Asuka and Kairi Sane, presenting compelling drama on the women’s side of the card while Stephanie Vaquer prepares for her title defense.
John Cena and Grayson Waller: The Grayson Waller Effect Returns
Although Grayson Waller is not currently engaged in a pay-per-view level feud, WWE Crown Jewel offers an opportunity to showcase “The Grayson Waller Effect” segment. Waller has previously hosted this at events such as Elimination Chamber 2024, where he featured Rhodes and Rollins. The build-up includes Waller taunting John Cena following Cena’s recent confrontation with Brock Lesnar. Despite rumors about Lesnar ending Cena’s career, Cena remains on his Retirement Tour and is expected to regain momentum in a segment that will energize fans before the event’s final matches.
Women’s Intercontinental Championship: Becky Lynch vs. AJ Lee
AJ Lee’s surprise victory over Becky Lynch during her rare return set the stage for a Women’s Intercontinental Title clash at WWE Crown Jewel 2025. Since Lynch last defended the championship at Clash in Paris, the time is right for this high-stakes match. The confrontation between these two veteran superstars promises to be intense and could trigger a storyline leading into the upcoming Women’s WarGames at Survivor Series, raising the stakes beyond just the title.
Stephanie Vaquer vs. Tiffany Stratton: A Battle for the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship
One of the most electrifying matchups on the card will be Stephanie Vaquer defending her newly won Women’s World Championship against Tiffany Stratton. Stratton, fresh off winning both Money in the Bank and holding the WWE Women’s Championship, now faces challenges ahead on SmackDown, including battles with Nia Jax and Jade Cargill. Last year’s runner-up Jax losing the title again would complicate the scene, while Cargill’s potential losses set up a final showdown with Stratton. This rivalry culminates with Vaquer, the current Women’s World Champion, taking on The Center of the Universe, Stratton, at Crown Jewel, adding high drama and championship prestige to the event.
As WWE Crown Jewel 2025 approaches, the card continues to grow with storylines and character arcs weaving tightly together, promising a night filled with intense and unpredictable matches. With title defenses, personal rivalries, and the blending of emerging and established superstars, the Perth event will serve as a crucial juncture in WWE’s calendar, setting the tone for the closing months of the year and the lead-up to Survivor Series.
