WWE CROWN JEWEL: PERTH RESULTS – OCTOBER 11, 2025
“WWE Then. Now. Forever. Together.” airs as always to get the show officially off-and-running from RAC Arena in Perth. The pre-show panel of Michael Cole, Big E. and Wade Barrett welcome us to the show as we hear a rabid sea of fans making a ton of noise in the background.
A cool Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins rivalry video package airs to get things going. When it wraps up, we check in with Jackie Redmond, Cathy Kelley and the other members of the Countdown broadcast team in various areas backstage at the show venue for today.
From there, we shoot to an extended video package looking at the year-long “The Last Time Is Now” retirement tour of WWE legend John Cena. A small excerpt of Jackie Redmond’s sit-down interview with Bronson Reed and Paul Heyman is shown, and then we shoot into a video package for the Crown Jewel Women’s title tilt.
We check in with Peter Rosenberg, who is with Chelsea Green, as the two travel throughout Perth to try out some of the local food at different places. The segment wraps up, and we shoot to a live backstage interview with Cathy Kelley talking to Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque.
Grayson Waller joins the pre-show panelists, with Michael Cole tagging out and Jackie Redmond tagging in. Peter Rosenberg also subs in for Wade Barrett. Waller boasts being an Australian and does another ‘Shoey’ after the fans in the background chanted for one.
Several video packages later and we begin wrapping things up on the pre-show. We shoot to a sit-down interview that Jackie Redmond did with Bronson Reed and Paul Heyman to promote the Australian Street Fight against Roman Reigns. The national anthems are sung, with the crowd heavily booing the U.S. one.
Australian Street Fight
Roman Reigns vs. Bronson Reed
An elaborate, bad-ass cold open video package airs, narrated by Australia’s own birthday girl, Rhea Ripley. Inside the RAC Arena, fireworks and pyro erupt as the crowd goes wild. Michael Cole welcomes us to the show. Bronson Reed’s theme hits and out he comes with Paul Heyman for our opening contest.
It’s instantly noticeable that an insanely large percentage of the fans inside RAC Arena, possibly as much as 75 percent or more, literally, are wearing the new yellow John Cena t-shirt from WWE Shop. The fans ‘Down Under’ are clearly excited about being host to one of Cena’s final matches ever.
After The Vision duo of Auzzilla and “The Oracle” settle inside the squared circle for our opening contest, the theme music dies down. We get a healthy delay to let the crowd simmer a bit, and then the first note for Roman Reigns’ entrance tune hits and the crowd explodes once again.
Reigns makes his way to the ring to a sustained roar from the fans Down Under, and settles in the ring. The fans are doing the Roman Reigns sing-style chant. “Roman Reiiiigggnnsss! Romaaan, Roman Reiiiiggnns!” That one. Reigns throws the one up to the sky, and you see literally every single person in the building do the same.
The bell sounds and the crowd erupts even louder. It’s time for an Australian Street Fight on a Saturday morning in Perth. This one is officially off-and-running.

Reed signals for Reigns’ last rites before going for a senton splash, but Reigns moves. Reed lands on the stop sign again. Reigns pulls himself up in the corner and redirects a charging Reed’s head into the chair wedged in the corner. Reigns quickly follows up with a Superman Punch. 1… 2… Reed kicks out.

Roman Reigns, Usos Drama Continues
Once the match wraps up, we quickly learn that this situation isn’t quite over just yet. The commentators hard-sell the fact that Bronson Reed is the second man to pin Roman Reigns in a singles match in WWE in approximately five years.
Meanwhile, live inside the ring we see that Reigns is furious with his cousins and says the world thinks he “can’t do sh*t” on his own. Reigns wants to do this on his own. Reigns says he loves them, but he doesn’t want to see them until after Christmas.
Reigns angrily walks off. The Usos start to argue among themselves. Jimmy Uso tries talking calmly to Jey about the situation, but it is clear that Jey is fire up and doesn’t want to hear it. Jey says Reigns will always be about himself, and it’s not worth helping. Jey walks off as Jimmy is still trying to talk to him.
WWE Women’s Crown Jewel Championship
Stephanie Vaquer vs. Tiffany Stratton
After the explosive opener wraps up, we shift gears and prepare for our first of two Crown Jewel Championship matches scheduled for today’s show. We see two men in suits carrying the giant cases containing the Men’s and Women’s Crown Jewel title belts.
The pre-match video package airs to tell the story of the road to today’s WWE Women’s Crown Jewel Championship showdown between reigning WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton from SmackDown and WWE Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer from Raw.

Backstage In The Vision Locker Room
We shoot backstage in The Vision locker room. We see that Bronson Reed is icing his shoulder as Bron Breakker puts him over. Paul Heyman walks in and congratulates Reed. The Tribal Thief went over the Tribal Chief. When people talk about the future of the industry, they’ll be talking about both of them. Heyman then offers an aside.

John Cena vs. AJ Styles
The pre-match video package airs to tell the story of the road to John Cena vs. AJ Styles, which is up next as the third match of the show here at WWE Crown Jewel: Perth. The video wraps up and we return inside the RAC Arena where the crowd is electric.
AJ Styles’ entrance tune plays and out comes “The Phenomenal One” to a roar from the Perth crowd. He settles in the ring as the commentators talk about his announcement from the WWE Crown Jewel Kickoff media event on Friday, where AJ Styles confirmed his plans to retire in 2026.
After Styles settles in the ring and his music dies down, we get a healthy pause to build up what is about to happen. And then it happens. The opening note for the iconic theme song for John Cena hits and the roof on the RAC Arena nearly comes off due to the overwhelming sustained roar from the Aussie crowd.
Cena makes his way out for what is one of the final matches of his legendary career. He talks to Stu the Camera Man as he stares down the barrel of the hard camera lens per his usual ring entrance routine. As he begins his trademark sprint to the ring, the crowd somehow gets even louder. Noticeably so, too.
The two men are in the ring and ready to rock and roll. The ring announcer handles the final formal pre-match ring introductions for John Cena and AJ Styles. Alicia Taylor even references AJ Styles as the definition of “Total Nonstop Action” and “the former leader of The Bullet Club.”
From there, Taylor wraps up her introductions. After a loud and proud “Thank you Cena!” chant breaks out, sustains and eventually winds down, the two get ready for battle. Fans chant “Holy sh*t!” before they even touch. The two finally lock up.

Among them was Cena doing the Chris Jericho ‘Walls of Jericho’ finisher, the RKO finisher of Randy Orton, the Skull Crushing Finale finisher of The Miz, and even attempted a Rey Mysterio 6-1-9, although Styles stopped it. They also did some Bray Wyatt spots, which led to fans bringing back the ‘fireflies’ in the RAC Arena.
Styles hit a Sweet Chin Music in Shawn Michaels fashion, including ‘tuning up the band’ and the whole routine. In the end, in the final homage of the match, John Cena hoisted AJ Styles upside down and planted him head-first into the mat with an Undertaker-style Tombstone Piledriver for the win.

It’s main event time!
We get a quick plug from the commentators for Monday’s special morning time live episode of WWE Raw in Perth, Western Australia, which includes Dominik Mysterio vs. Penta for the WWE Intercontinental Championship and Bayley & Lyra Valkyria vs. Roxanne Perez & Raquel Rodriguez in women’s tag-team action.
From there, we see the pre-match video package to tell the story of the road to the headline bout of today’s WWE Crown Jewel: Perth premium live event. Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs. WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins for the WWE Men’s Crown Jewel Championship is up next.
Back live inside the RAC Arena, we hear the familiar sounds of Seth Rollins’ entrance tune. “Burn it down!” Fire pyro erupts as the leader of The Vision makes his way out and heads to the ring for the final match of the show today in Perth.
Rollins settles inside the squared circle with his super puffy, very Seth Rollins-style black and white ring entrance gear. We then hear the usual “thump-thump” that precedes the catchy-ass theme song for Cody Rhodes. Out comes “The American Nightmare” to a huge crowd reaction.
The Undisputed WWE Champion settles in the ring and removes his ring entrance gear as fans start doing the “Cody Rhooodes, Cody, Cody Rhoooodes!” song-style chant for the self-proclaimed “QB1” of WWE. WWE ring announcer Alicia Taylor handles the final formal pre-match ring introductions for Rhodes and Rollins.
With that now out of the way, there’s only one thing left to do. Having said that, it gets done as the bell sounds to get the WWE Crown Jewel: Perth main event officially off-and-running. Rhodes and Rollins soak up the wild atmosphere inside the RAC Arena.
Rhodes quickly knocks Rollins onto his rear end in the first physicality of the match. The crowd sings to Rhodes some more. Rollins looks annoyed. Rollins hits a headlock takeover. Rhodes fights up, and Rollins hits another headlock takeover. Rhodes fights up, so Rollins kicks him.

He uses it to knock Rhodes out. He follows that up with a Stomp. He climbs up to the middle rope and waits for Cody to get up. When he does, he leaps and connects with another Stomp off the ropes.

Rollins then yanked the microphone out of Cathy Kelley’s hands, robbing her of her duties of interviewing him in the ring after the match. Rollins said everyone knows what she was going to ask anyways, and proceeded to cut a brief promo gloating about doing what he said he would do.
From there, Rollins posed on the ropes as fireworks and pyro erupted inside the jam-packed RAC Arena in Perth. He was then joined by WWE Women’s Crown Jewel Champion Stephanie Vaquer. The two posed with their respective Crown Jewel titles and rings as the credits flashed on the screen and WWE Crown Jewel: Perth went off the air.
