As WWE Crown Jewel approaches on October 11 in Perth, Western Australia, the event may include a thrilling Last Man Standing match alongside the already announced bouts. The WWE Crown Jewel Last Man Standing contest is expected to heighten the premium live event’s intensity, drawing further attention to the ongoing rivalry between Damian Priest and Aleister Black.
Confirmed Matches Highlight Perth Event Card
Four matches have been officially announced for WWE Crown Jewel, including two championship clashes that will headline the show. Cody Rhodes will defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, while Tiffany Stratton and Stephanie Vaquer are set to compete for the Women’s titles. Additionally, John Cena will face AJ Styles in what is expected to be their final singles encounter. Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley will team up to challenge The Kabuki Warriors, Asuka and Kairi Sane, in a tag team match.
Potential New Matches Emerging Ahead of Show
Reports from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter indicate that WWE may add two more matches to the Crown Jewel card, though some might be reserved for the Survivor Series event on September 29. Among the storylines gaining traction is the intense feud between Damian Priest and Aleister Black, which has been escalating with each week on SmackDown. Their ongoing conflict might culminate in a high-stakes Last Man Standing match, a stipulation fitting their heated rivalry.
Recently, Damian Priest, known as “The Dutch Destroyer,” attacked Aleister Black with a Black Mass after Black intimidated Kit Wilson of Pretty Deadly, further fueling their animosity.

Implications of Adding a Last Man Standing Match
If WWE Crown Jewel incorporates the Last Man Standing match between Damian Priest and Aleister Black, it would elevate an already strong card into one of the most compelling premium live events of the year. This match type typically involves brutal exchanges and endurance battles, reflecting the depth of hostility between the two competitors. With the men’s and women’s championship matchups also featured, fans can anticipate a night full of dramatic confrontations and pivotal moments.
The addition might also influence storyline directions moving forward, especially in the lead-up to Survivor Series. This event’s results could have lasting effects on the WWE landscape, providing momentum for both Priest and Black as they continue their pursuit of supremacy. As WWE gears up for Crown Jewel, all eyes will be on Perth to see how these evolving narratives conclude.
