WWE Crown Jewel 2025 Results: This year, Crown Jewel made history by breaking out of its Saudi Arabia mold and landing in Perth, Australia — at the RAC Arena on October 11. It carried extra weight too: it would be John Cena’s final pay-per-view appearance in Australia (and outside the U.S.) before his in-ring retirement.
With that backdrop, the night delivered some surprises, emotional moments, and new champions. Let’s walk through the card.
Bronson Reed Shocks Roman Reigns- Australian Street Fight:
The show opened with perhaps the most electric, chaotic match of the night: Bronson Reed vs. Roman Reigns in an “Australian Street Fight.” Reigns came in dominating early, wielding a cricket bat (of course), and toyed with the home crowd’s energy.
But Reed, fighting in his home country, dug in. When the action spilled beyond the ring, he struck back hard: steel chairs, ring steps, and a vicious Tsunami sealed the deal.
A turning point came in the chaos: The Usos’ involvement backfired when Jey Uso accidentally speared Reigns through a table. That miscue opened the door for Reed’s final push.
Afterward, Reigns looked visibly upset — pointing at his family in the ring, chastising them, hinting at cracks in The Bloodline. It was a powerful way to open the night, and Reed’s victory resonated both as a personal triumph and a symbolic upset.
Women’s Crown Jewel: Stephanie Vaquer Becomes Champion
Next up was Tiffany Stratton (WWE Women’s Champion) vs. Stephanie Vaquer (Women’s World Champion). The winner would be crowned the Women’s Crown Jewel Champion.
It was a hard-fought bout, though not overly long. Stratton tried launching a Prettiest Moonsault Ever, but Vaquer countered, then followed up with a corkscrew splash for the pinfall. The win crowned Vaquer as the second-ever “Women’s Crown Jewel Champion.”
Visibly emotional, Vaquer accepted the title from Triple H and thanked the crowd — embracing what this moment meant for her career. It felt like both a passing of the torch and a celebration of her rising star status.
Legends Reunited: John Cena vs. AJ Styles
One of the most talked-about matches of the night was Cena vs. Styles. These two iconic veterans rarely cross paths now; this was a treat and, given Cena’s retirement timeline, potentially a grand send-off.
The match leaned heavily into nostalgia and homage. They pulled out finishers belonging to other legends — Randy Orton’s RKO, Miz’s Skull Crushing Finale, Bray Wyatt’s Sister Abigail, Samoa Joe’s Coquina Clutch, and more. The crowd ate it up.
At the climax, Cena hit a Tombstone Piledriver (a throwback move) and followed with an Attitude Adjustment for the three-count. The two embraced in the ring, acknowledging their shared history and huge impact on wrestling over the decades.
While some might quibble about over-relying on nostalgia, the emotional payoff was undeniable. It felt like a celebration of wrestling itself.
Tag Team Magic: Ripley & Iyo Sky vs. Kabuki Warriors:
In a tag team match, Rhea Ripley paired with Iyo Sky to take on Asuka and Kairi Sane (The Kabuki Warriors).
The match had its moments of chaos — early isolation of Sky, attempts to keep Ripley out, and then Ripley’s arrival really shifted momentum. In the end, Ripley hit her Riptide finisher on Sane, leaving space for Sky to land an over-the-top moonsault for the pin. It wasn’t the flashiest match on the card, but it delivered solid tag-team action and allowed both Ripley and Sky to shine.
Main Event: Seth Rollins Finally Beats Cody Rhodes:
Everything built toward the Men’s Crown Jewel Championship showdown: Cody Rhodes (Undisputed WWE Champion) defending against Seth Rollins (World Heavyweight Champion).
Here’s where things got dramatic. Rollins had never beaten Rhodes in a one-on-one match (going 0–3 previously) and was desperate to change that narrative. The match saw near falls, counters, momentum swings, and raw emotion.
But Rollins turned to a controversial tactic: when Rhodes dropped the referee, Rollins used the Rolex watch Rhodes had gifted him earlier to strike Rhodes. Then he hit a Stomp followed by a top-rope Stomp to put Rhodes away. That was enough to finally get him the win and the Men’s Crown Jewel Championship.
After the match, Rollins was presented with the title by Triple H. He took the mic and taunted the WWE Universe — confident, cocky, and claiming he finally proved he could beat Rhodes.
Some will say Rollins’ win was tainted by the use of a foreign object. But in story terms, it gives him a moral ambiguity and fuels future directions — redemption arcs, rivalries, and questions about whether he can hold the title cleanly.
Final Thoughts & What’s Next:
Crown Jewel 2025 delivered a mix of fan service, surprises, and important storyline shifts. A few observations:
-
Location matters. Bringing Crown Jewel to Australia not only broadened WWE’s global footprint but also gave audiences a fresh setting and enthusiasm. New champions, new narratives. Both Rollins and Vaquer are now Crown Jewel champions, and their win — especially Vaquer’s — gives room for fresh feuds and divisions to evolve.
-
Emotional resonance wins. The Cena–Styles match was less about stakes and more about legacy, and it delivered in that domain. Hardcore wrestling fans often crave storytelling over just moves, and this match gave both.
-
Bloodline cracks. Reigns’ post-match anger at The Usos signals tensions. Reed’s victory only heightens interest in how the Bloodline saga will continue.
-
Trust but verify. Rollins’ win may be seen as questionable by some, opening up casework for challengers who will question whether he’s a rightful champion.
For fans, the biggest question is: Which story thread carries forward strongest? Will Reed surge into more prominence? Will Rhodes seek redemption? Can Rollins prove himself without dirty tricks? And where does Vaquer stand in the women’s division hierarchy?
Crown Jewel 2025 wasn’t perfect — there were spots where pacing lagged, or certain decisions (like the use of Rolex) felt predictable. But it succeeded in creating moments fans will talk about for weeks.
