Crown Jewel (2025)

The 2025 Crown Jewel, also promoted as Crown Jewel: Perth, was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by the American company WWE. It was the seventh Crown Jewel and took place on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at the RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia, Australia and featured wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. The event was centered around the men's and women's Crown Jewel Championship matches, which featured the respective men's and women's world champions of Raw and SmackDown against each other to determine the better champion. This was the first Crown Jewel held outside of Saudi Arabia, as all previous Crown Jewel events were held in the country's capital of Riyadh. Like many of WWE's events, however, it was still sponsored by Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority via Riyadh Season. The event was John Cena's final pay-per-view and livestreaming event appearance in Australia and outside the United States as an in-ring performer due to his retirement from professional wrestling at the end of 2025. Five matches were contested at the event. The main event was the 2025 men's Crown Jewel Championship match, which was won by Raw's World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, who defeated SmackDown's Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. The 2025 Women's Crown Jewel Championship match saw Raw's Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer defeat SmackDown's WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton. In the other matches on the card, John Cena defeated AJ Styles; who had announced his retirement tour in the Kickoff show, Iyo Sky and Australia-native Rhea Ripley defeated The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) in a tag team match, and in the opening bout, Australia-native Bronson Reed defeated Roman Reigns in an Australian Street Fight. The event received generally positive reviews, with the Cena vs. Styles bout being universally acclaimed by fans and critics alike, while the main event and the tag team match were also praised.
