WWE Crown Jewel 2025 Results, Match Card, and How to Watch
Nobody schedules a wrestling main event for 8 a.m. Eastern unless they’re betting on fan devotion — or on Perth’s prime time. WWE Crown Jewel 2025 made that bet on October 11 at RAC Arena in Perth, and the payoff was Seth Rollins pinning Cody Rhodes in the men’s Crown Jewel Championship match, with all five winners confirmed by WWE’s official results page.

What are the results of WWE Crown Jewel 2025?
WWE’s full results article documents all five winners from the October 11 card at RAC Arena. The two Crown Jewel Championship matches produced new titleholders, and the supporting card delivered three more decisive finishes.
Seth Rollins vs. Cody Rhodes
- Stakes: Men’s WWE Crown Jewel Championship, billed as champion vs. champion.
- Result: Seth Rollins def. Cody Rhodes by pinfall.
- Takeaway: Rollins becomes the men’s Crown Jewel Champion; Rhodes keeps the Undisputed WWE Championship.
The men’s match was the headline Crown Jewel Championship of the night, and the billing put two world champions in one ring. Rollins’ pinfall gave him the belt and a clean win over Rhodes — a result that carries extra weight because of who was on the losing end.
Stephanie Vaquer vs. Tiffany Stratton
- Stakes: Women’s WWE Crown Jewel Championship.
- Result: Stephanie Vaquer def. Tiffany Stratton.
The women’s title match gave the card a second new champion. Vaquer’s win is the kind of result WWE can build a division around: a fresh face holding a new belt after beating a top-tier opponent.
John Cena vs. AJ Styles
- Match type: Singles match.
- Result: John Cena def. AJ Styles by pinfall.
The co-main event delivered the marquee names the card needed. Cena’s win by pinfall was the night’s biggest non-title result, and it keeps the veteran in the spotlight heading into the next schedule cycle.
Other results on the card
- Bronson Reed def. Roman Reigns — Australian Street Fight.
- Rhea Ripley & IYO SKY def. Asuka & Kairi Sane — tag-team match.
Reed’s win in the Australian Street Fight was the night’s most Perth-themed bout, and the tag match gave Ripley and IYO SKY a statement win to close the five-match card. For another 2025 event breakdown in the same results-first format, check the Eagles vs Buccaneers match player stats breakdown.
The pattern: WWE used Crown Jewel to hand Rollins a headline win over the Undisputed WWE Champion without resetting either of its two biggest titles. That’s the event’s whole trick — high drama, limited continuity damage.
Where can I watch Crown Jewel 2025?
The answer depends on where you were watching from. WWE split the Crown Jewel 2025 broadcast between two streaming homes: the ESPN App in the US and Netflix internationally.
Streaming on ESPN App in the United States
- Open the ESPN App on your phone, tablet, connected TV, or web browser.
- Sign in with your TV provider account or an ESPN Unlimited subscription — ESPN Australia’s guide notes that the event streamed through the ESPN App with an ESPN Unlimited plan.
- Search “WWE Crown Jewel 2025.”
- Select the event and press play; the main card started at 8 a.m. ET.
The ESPN App stream required an ESPN Unlimited subscription, so US viewers needed an active plan — not just an ESPN account — to watch live.
Streaming on Netflix internationally
- Australia and New Zealand: Netflix.
- Canada and the United Kingdom: Netflix.
- Select markets in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America: Netflix.
Netflix Tudum’s guide listed Crown Jewel 2025 in its international streaming lineup, covering the regions above and making the event available through a mainstream subscription platform.
On-demand replays
- US viewers: ESPN App library.
- Australia and other international markets: Netflix library.
To rewatch the event, start with the platform you used live — both services are where Crown Jewel was officially available. For another live-event viewing guide in the same practical format, see Where to Watch Warriors vs Rockets on TV & Streaming.
The trade-off: US fans needed a subscription and an early alarm, while Australian viewers got a prime-time slot on a streaming platform they were likely already using. WWE picked its preferred audience for this one — and it wasn’t the US.
When and where is Crown Jewel 2025 held?
Crown Jewel 2025 ran on a Perth schedule, which gave US viewers a rare morning premium live event.
Date: October 11, 2025
Date: Saturday, October 11, 2025 · US pre-show: 6 a.m. ET · US main card: 8 a.m. ET · Perth: approx. 8 p.m. AWST
The main card ran at 8 p.m. locally in Perth, which translated to 8 a.m. Eastern for US viewers. Goal.com’s live-stream guide reported the local start as approximately 8 p.m. AWST.
Location: Perth, Australia
- Host country: Australia.
- Host city: Perth, Western Australia.
- Time zone: AWST (UTC+8), the reason behind the early US broadcast window.
The location shaped the entire broadcast schedule, putting WWE’s premium event in a time zone the company rarely targets for live television. The early-morning Eastern slot was the trade-off for a Perth prime-time show.
Venue: RAC Arena
- Venue: RAC Arena.
- Host city: Perth, Western Australia.
- Venue confirmed by CBS Sports’ event guide.
The venue choice gave the night a distinctly Western Australian backdrop, and the arena setting kept the show compact and local by premium live event standards.
An 8 a.m. ET main card means US viewers east of the Pacific got a morning show, while Perth viewers got prime time — the schedule was built for the host market, not the home market.
The implication: WWE built the show around Perth’s prime time and asked the US audience to adjust. That’s the real cost of international expansion — and it’s paid in early alarms.
Who won the main event at Crown Jewel 2025?
Seth Rollins victory
Rollins beat the Undisputed WWE Champion without winning the Undisputed WWE Championship — the Crown Jewel title is a separate prize, and that separation is exactly why WWE can run this match without long-term continuity damage.
Rollins entered the match as World Heavyweight Champion, which made the collision a genuine champion-versus-champion affair. The Crown Jewel Championship he won is a separate prize from the world titles, as Sporting News’ event coverage noted, so the pinfall over Rhodes carries bragging rights without resetting the Undisputed WWE Championship picture.
Cody Rhodes defeat
- Result: Rhodes lost by pinfall to Rollins in the main event.
- Title status: The Undisputed WWE Championship did not change hands, because the Crown Jewel title is a separate belt (Sporting News).
- Storyline impact: Rollins now owns a clean pinfall over the company’s top champion.
For Rhodes, the loss is a setback without a title change — the kind of result WWE can use to build a rematch down the line.
Implications for future storylines
- A Rollins-Rhodes rematch now has built-in history.
- The men’s Crown Jewel Championship gives Rollins a talking point on the road to the next premium live event.
- Vaquer’s women’s title win gives WWE a new international headliner.
None of this requires a big story reset. The Crown Jewel title exists to create stakes without entanglement, and the Perth results delivered exactly that.
What this means: the main event created a new champion without forcing a world-title change — the cleanest possible outcome for an event designed to feel big without breaking anything.
When is WWE Crown Jewel 2026?
Speculation on a 2026 event
No official Crown Jewel 2026 date, venue, or host country has been announced. Anything beyond that is speculation.
The 2025 event ran in October, so a similar fall window for 2026 is a reasonable guess — but the only source that can confirm it is WWE’s own schedule.
Return to Australia possible
- Perth’s 8 p.m. AWST start gave the event a local prime-time slot.
- Netflix carried the broadcast to Australian subscribers.
- WWE’s international calendar has room for repeat visits to proven markets.
The Perth model — live on a mainstream streamer and scheduled for local prime time — is the template WWE now has for Australia. Whether the company uses it again in 2026 depends on the next schedule announcement.
What to watch
- The next WWE premium live event announcement.
- Whether Rollins’ Crown Jewel Championship gets defended or retired.
- Whether the early-morning Eastern slot becomes standard for international events.
The pattern: Crown Jewel is becoming WWE’s traveling international showcase, and Perth proved the format can work outside the usual television window. The next announcement, not rumor, will determine where the crown goes from here.
Crown Jewel 2025 timeline
The night ran on two clocks at once: evening in Perth, early morning in the US.
- 6 a.m. ET / 6 p.m. AWST: US pre-show coverage begins (Yahoo Sports’ guide).
- 8 a.m. ET / 8 p.m. AWST: Main card starts at RAC Arena (Goal.com’s guide).
The pattern: every start time traces back to one decision — put the show in front of a Perth audience in prime time and let the US broadcast follow.
What’s confirmed and what’s still unclear
Confirmed facts
- Seth Rollins def. Cody Rhodes; Stephanie Vaquer def. Tiffany Stratton; John Cena def. AJ Styles; Bronson Reed def. Roman Reigns; and Rhea Ripley & IYO SKY def. Asuka & Kairi Sane — all five results appear on WWE’s official results page.
- Date and venue: October 11, 2025 at RAC Arena, Perth (CBS Sports’ event guide).
- Streaming: ESPN App in the US; Netflix in Australia and other international markets (ESPN Australia and Netflix Tudum).
What’s unclear
- Official viewership and attendance figures.
- Whether John Cena’s Perth match was his final appearance.
- Whether Crown Jewel returns to Australia in 2026.
- The full list of pre-show participants and performances.
The distinction matters: the results are settled, but the business questions — viewership, roster direction, and the 2026 calendar — are still open.
What the coverage said about Crown Jewel 2025
The most useful context comes from the sources that tracked the event and its broadcast plan.
ESPN Australia’s coverage counted Crown Jewel 2025 as the seventh event in the series and walked US viewers through the ESPN App start time.

Yahoo Sports’ guide laid out the full broadcast schedule: 6 a.m. ET for pre-show coverage and 8 a.m. ET for the main card.

What this means: the sources agree on the essentials — the event happened, the winners are recorded, and the viewing experience depended entirely on your time zone.
The takeaway from Perth
For WWE, the Perth show was a statement: a premium live event can work on Australian soil, with a new champion crowned and Netflix carrying the product to international subscribers. The streamer’s involvement changes the economics of these events, and the 8 a.m. Eastern start is now the price of admission for US fans. For American viewers, the decision is clear: the next international Crown Jewel means another early alarm — or a deliberate choice to catch the replay instead.
Frequently asked questions
Was Crown Jewel 2025 sold out?
WWE has not published official attendance or sell-out figures for the event. The show took place at RAC Arena in Perth as scheduled.
Did John Cena retire after Crown Jewel 2025?
No retirement announcement followed the event. Cena defeated AJ Styles, and WWE’s published results include no indication that the match was his last.
What is the Crown Jewel title?
The men’s and women’s Crown Jewel Championships were the prizes for the two title matches in Perth. The belts are separate from WWE’s regular world championships, which is why beating Rhodes for the Crown Jewel title did not take the Undisputed WWE Championship from him.
How many matches were on the card?
Five matches were on the main card, all documented in WWE’s results article: Rollins vs. Rhodes, Vaquer vs. Stratton, Cena vs. Styles, Reed vs. Reigns, and Ripley & IYO SKY vs. Asuka & Kairi Sane.
Who performed the national anthem at Crown Jewel?
WWE has not published that detail in its official results or event coverage.
Can I watch Crown Jewel 2025 on demand?
Yes. In the US, the ESPN App carried the event; in Australia and other international markets, Netflix carried it. Both services are where the broadcast was officially available, so start with their libraries for a replay.
What were the pre-show matches?
WWE’s official results record lists five main-card matches and no pre-show results, so no pre-show matches were confirmed as part of the event.
The practical questions have practical answers: the results are recorded, the platforms are known, and the rest is waiting on WWE’s next announcement.
