Let’s be honest — WWE Crown Jewel 2025 feels different this year. Maybe it’s the buzz, maybe it’s the lineup, or maybe it’s because, for the first time ever, the show’s leaving Saudi Arabia and landing in Perth, Australia. Yeah, you heard that right — Crown Jewel is going global, and fans are absolutely fired up about it. With legends, champions, and rising stars all colliding, this year’s card already feels massive. From rumored dream bouts to confirmed title clashes, all eyes are on Cody Rhodes, whose charisma and signature American Nightmare jacket have become symbols of his unstoppable momentum heading into the event. Some matches are confirmed, others are still swirling around in the rumor mill, but one thing’s for sure — this show is going to shake up the WWE landscape in a big way. So grab your replica belts (and maybe your own Cody Rhodes American Nightmare jacket) — here’s everything you need to know, and all the predictions you didn’t ask for but secretly want.

Confirmed Matches — The Ones We Can Bet On

1. Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins — Champion vs. Champion

The match everyone’s been waiting for.
Two of WWE’s best — Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins — are about to face off in what could easily steal the entire show.

It’s “Undisputed WWE Champion” vs. “World Heavyweight Champion,” and the stakes couldn’t be higher. These two have history — deep, personal, grudge-filled history.

Cody’s been the ultimate babyface since “finishing the story,” while Rollins is the workhorse champion who refuses to back down. The energy in that arena? Electric.

 Prediction: Expect a wild, emotional, 30-minute masterpiece… and probably a controversial ending that keeps both men looking strong.

2. Stephanie Vaquer vs. Tiffany Stratton — Women’s Crown Jewel Championship

This one’s got “star-making moment” written all over it.

Stephanie Vaquer brings that fierce technical style, while Tiffany Stratton has turned herself into one of the most marketable and polished wrestlers on the roster. It’s skill versus style — and both are fighting to define the new face of WWE’s women’s division.

 Prediction: Tiffany pulls off the upset. WWE loves crowning the “it girl” on the big stage, and Stratton’s momentum right now is off the charts.

3. John Cena vs. AJ Styles — Legacy vs. Phenomenal

If you’ve been watching WWE for a while, you know just how big this one is.

John Cena and AJ Styles don’t just wrestle — they tell stories. Every move, every glance, every counter means something.

Cena’s slowing down his in-ring career, and AJ? He’s still proving that age hasn’t dulled his edge. This isn’t just a match; it’s a reminder of what made us fall in love with wrestling in the first place.

 Prediction: Cena wins — one last hurrah, one last five-knuckle shuffle, and maybe one last tear-jerking thank-you promo before he rides off into the sunset.

4. Rhea Ripley & IYO SKY vs. The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane)

This tag match might just steal the show.

The collapse of Damage CTRL has set the stage for a chaotic, emotional showdown between former allies and fierce rivals. And with Rhea Ripley competing on home turf in Australia? Expect a thunderous ovation.

The Kabuki Warriors — Asuka and Kairi Sane — are wrestling perfection together. Their chemistry is unmatched, but Ripley’s star power and IYO SKY’s unpredictability make this matchup a can’t-miss spectacle.

 Prediction: Ripley and SKY take it, but not without some serious post-match drama. A betrayal, maybe? Keep your eyes peeled.

Rumored Matches Heating Up

Now let’s talk about the fun part — the rumors. WWE loves to keep fans guessing, and Crown Jewel 2025 has more than a few storylines bubbling under the surface:

• Sami Zayn vs. Solo Sikoa — The U.S. Title picture has been simmering for weeks, and it feels like a collision is inevitable.
  
  

• Jey Uso vs. LA Knight — There’s no confirmed match yet, but tensions on SmackDown are building fast.
  
  

• The Bloodline Saga Continues — Could Roman Reigns show up in Perth for a surprise return? Never say never.
  
  

• Randy Orton vs. Bron Breaker or Bronson Reed — Orton’s been teasing something big, and both powerhouse stars make perfect opponents for him.

 Prediction: At least one of these “rumored” matches turns into a last-minute announcement — WWE loves a good surprise.

3. Women Stealing the Spotlight

Vaquer vs. Stratton and Ripley’s homecoming tag match prove how strong the women’s division has become. These aren’t filler matches — they’re marquee attractions.

4. The Bloodline Factor

Even when they’re not in the ring, The Bloodline looms large. Solo, Jimmy, Jey — they’re all circling each other, and you know chaos is coming.
