WWE Crown Jewel 2025 will be in Australia for the first time this year. No, kangaroos will not be boxing at this event. The biggest matches for this PLE on October 11, 2025, include a Men's Crown Jewel Title match between Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, a Women's Crown Jewel Title match between Stephanie Vaquer and Tiffany Stratton, and a nostalgic farewell tour match between John Cena and AJ Styles. Roman Reigns is set to appear, and this is taking place in the home country of top stars like Rhea Ripley and Bronson Reed, who will likely be booked on this card.
The Crown Jewel PLE originated in Saudi Arabia, but WWE changed it up this year, as they are instead hosting the Royal Rumble 2026 and WrestleMania 43 events in Saudi Arabia. This PLE is usually played out as a final roadblock before Survivor Series, where War Games Teams will form for the biggest rivalries that took place throughout the calendar year. Those rivalries include CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch vs. AJ Lee, which will likely be the focus of the War Games Matches this year. Without further ado, here are the full match card predictions for WWE Crown Jewel 2025.
Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Seth Rollins (c) [Crown Jewel Championship]
Cody Rhodes already defeated Seth Rollins three times in 2022 and never lost to him. On top of that, Rhodes already won the Crown Jewel Title last year. Since Rollins is always considered the secondary champion, it would be wise for him to win here so that WWE would have two megastars who are equally respected as top champions, rather than just one. To protect Rhodes in defeat, this victory can be acquired through nefarious means due to some outside interference from The Vision. Cody does not even have backup going into this match, so he will undoubtedly be outnumbered.
Prediction: Seth Rollins
Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs. Tiffany Stratton (c) [Crown Jewel Championship]
Stephanie Vaquer recently won the World Title in a match against Iyo Sky at WrestlePalooza after Naomi vacated it due to pregnancy. Tiffany Stratton has held the WWE Title for 270 days after a successful yet controversial title defense against Jade Cargill and Nia Jax in a triple threat match on SmackDown. Since Stratton has had the more prestigious run with the title, she is, by default, the superior champion and the rightful holder of the Crown Jewel Title. Unlike Cody Rhodes, neither woman won the Crown Jewel Title last year, so WWE is guaranteeing a new champ this year.
Prediction: Tiffany Stratton
John Cena vs. AJ Styles [Farewell Tour]
This farewell tour has been a catastrophe, but it has now reached a new low after this match was merely announced on Twitter. There were no seeds planted on television beforehand to build up a compelling story between these two juggernauts. Instead, it will be a callback to their 2016 feud, which shows that WWE will continue to rely on nostalgia to book this farewell tour. Since Cena only has 5 appearances left, this is a waste even though the match will be good. Nonetheless, Cena is not losing to Styles, whose momentum has been on the level of a glorified mid carder in recent months.
Prediction: John Cena
Iyo Sky & Rhea Ripley vs. Kabuki Warriors [Tag Match]
This storyline has been so good that it is has become WrestleMania worthy. However, it seems that WWE is going to strike while the iron is hot and book it for this PLE. It seems that Asuka became possessive and a tad controlling to the point that she got annoyed that Iyo Sky was befriending Rhea Ripley. This lead to further dissension in what was formerly Damage Control. Although Kairi Sane was manipulated by Asuka and was trying to play "peacemaker," she chose Asuka's side and helped her ambush Iyo Sky. Rhea must save Iyo from this mess with a big tag victory in her home country.
Prediction: Iyo Sky & Rhea Ripley
Roman Reigns & CM Punk vs. Brons [Tag Match]
Roman Reigns is set to appear at this event, and he still has unfinished business with the Brons, who took him out of commission at Clash in Paris back in August. Reigns could pick Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, or LA Knight, who have all been battling The Vision recently, to be his tag partner here. However, since those three all fell to the Vision and they have their own beef to squash, Reigns may need to request another favor from CM Punk to assure this victory. Both Punk and Reigns are targeting Seth's World Title, so it would make sense for them to work together to get his "goons" out of the way first.
Prediction: Roman Reigns & CM Punk
Becky Lynch (c) vs. AJ Lee [IC Title]
After AJ Lee made Becky Lynch tap out to the Black Widow in the mixed tag match with CM Punk and Seth Rollins at WrestlePalooza, she earned a future title shot against Becky. They will continue their feud as solo acts for that title on the road to Survivor Series. There are still some fiery promo battles awaiting these two, as they have only cracked the surface with their feud, and their beef has only been seen through the lens of the feud between their husbands. They could stretch this out into a trilogy, but AJ Lee must win the feud overall and take the title to oficially solidify her return to WWE.
Prediction: AJ Lee
