Crown Jewel: Perth Delivers Shockwaves! Massive Upset, Cena's Masterclass, and New Champions Crowned on a Historic Night 👑🇦🇺 Today, the world of professional wrestling is reeling from the monumental events that unfolded at WWE Crown Jewel 2025 at the RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia. In a landmark event—the first Crown Jewel held outside of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (link to WWE's official announcement)—WWE delivered a night filled with high-stakes contests, emotional farewells, and a shocking main event that instantly rewrote the trajectory of the company’s biggest storylines. The key talking points dominating social media are the seismic upset of Roman Reigns, the crowning of two new "Crown Jewel Champions," and a John Cena vs. AJ Styles classic hailed by wrestling legends as a "masterclass."
The Tribal Chief Falls: Bronson Reed Stuns Roman Reigns
The most significant headline of the day is the near-unthinkable: Roman Reigns suffered a rare singles loss at a Premium Live Event. In an Australian Street Fight designed to showcase local hero Bronson Reed (link to Reed's WWE bio) in his home country, "The Big Bronson" delivered a monumental victory that has sent shockwaves through the WWE Universe.
Chaos and Controversy
The match was a chaotic brawl that saw the use of chairs, tables, and even a cricket bat (link to match highlights). The defining moment, however, was the interference from members of both The Vision (Seth Rollins’ faction) and The Usos (Jimmy and Jey).
New Royalty: Rollins and Vaquer Claim Crown Jewel Championships
The inaugural Men's and Women's Crown Jewel Championships, created for the winners of the cross-brand main event matches, were claimed by two of the company's most dominant champions, though their victories came with distinct flavors of controversy.
Rollins Finally Beats The Nightmare
In the co-main event, World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins (Raw) finally defeated Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes (SmackDown) in a highly anticipated contest. This victory is monumental for Rollins, as it marks his first major singles win over "The American Nightmare" since Rhodes returned to WWE, breaking the infamous 3-0 streak.
Vaquer Continues Her Dominance
Raw’s Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer defeated SmackDown’s WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton to win the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship. Vaquer, who recently captured her Women's World Championship at Wrestlepalooza, continued her incredible surge since her 2024 debut.
One Last Dance: John Cena's Emotional Masterclass
In a match billed as "One Last Time," John Cena, on his final WWE tour before his expected retirement in December, defeated his career-long rival, AJ Styles. The match was immediately dubbed a "masterclass" by The Undertaker on social media, cementing its legendary status.
Global Context and Fan Reactions
The show was not without controversy. In a surprising moment that immediately became a trending topic, the US National Anthem was reportedly met with boos from the live Australian crowd, a reaction attributed to wider public sentiment rather than anti-WWE sentiment.

The match was a chaotic brawl that saw the use of chairs, tables, and even a cricket bat (link to match highlights). The defining moment, however, was the interference from members of both The Vision (Seth Rollins’ faction) and The Usos (Jimmy and Jey).
- Interference Backfires: Bron Breakker initially interfered, putting Reigns through a commentary table. The Usos attempted to assist their estranged cousin, only for Jey Uso to accidentally spear Reigns through a table, a fatal miscommunication that cost the "Tribal Chief" the match.
- A Devastating Finish: Reed capitalized on the confusion, hitting his massive Tsunami top-rope splash to secure the pinfall. This upset marks a massive push for Reed and a stunning setback for Reigns, who has now publicly distanced himself from The Usos, telling them he doesn't want to see them again "until Christmas," fueling speculation about a renewed Bloodline collapse.

This victory is monumental for Rollins, as it marks his first major singles win over "The American Nightmare" since Rhodes returned to WWE, breaking the infamous 3-0 streak.
- The Vision Prevails: The match was a show-stealing clinic, forcing Rollins to resort to desperation. He ultimately struck Rhodes with the Rolex wristwatch that Cody had gifted him in the build-up, using the illegal object before delivering a final Stomp to secure the Men's Crown Jewel Championship.
- Storyline Fallout: This questionable win serves as a major psychological boost for Rollins and his faction, The Vision, while intensifying the rivalry leading into Survivor Series: War Games (link to Survivor Series event page).
Vaquer Continues Her Dominance
Raw’s Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer defeated SmackDown’s WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton to win the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship. Vaquer, who recently captured her Women's World Championship at Wrestlepalooza, continued her incredible surge since her 2024 debut.
- La Primera Emerges: The match was a technical showcase, with Vaquer's hard-hitting style eventually overpowering Stratton’s athleticism. Vaquer’s corkscrew splash secured the victory, proving her place as a dominant force and one of the most exciting rising stars in the company (link to Vaquer’s official WWE profile).
One Last Dance: John Cena's Emotional Masterclass
In a match billed as "One Last Time," John Cena, on his final WWE tour before his expected retirement in December, defeated his career-long rival, AJ Styles. The match was immediately dubbed a "masterclass" by The Undertaker on social media, cementing its legendary status.
- A Homage to Wrestling: Cena paid tribute to his past rivals, incorporating moves like Randy Orton's RKO, The Miz's Skull-Crushing Finale, and Bray Wyatt's Sister Abigail before hitting his own Tombstone Piledriver and Attitude Adjustment for the win.
- Record Milestone: The victory marked Cena's 100th win at a WWE Premium Live Event (link to official WWE statistics), an astonishing milestone that solidifies his legacy as a generational talent as his farewell tour continues.
Global Context and Fan Reactions
The show was not without controversy. In a surprising moment that immediately became a trending topic, the US National Anthem was reportedly met with boos from the live Australian crowd, a reaction attributed to wider public sentiment rather than anti-WWE sentiment.
- Aussie Pride: The Australian audience, however, roared their support for local talent. Rhea Ripley, celebrating her birthday, teamed with IYO SKY to defeat The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane), giving the homegrown hero a powerful win in front of her adoring fans.
- The WWE-ESPN Era: Crown Jewel marks the second major Premium Live Event of the new WWE/ESPN streaming era (link to ESPN+ streaming details), proving the company’s global appeal and its ability to sell major shows in non-traditional wrestling markets.
