WWE Crown Jewel 2025 Predictions: Cena’s Final Match, Rhea Ripley Returns Home & Title Shocks Await

WWE Crown Jewel 2025: Australia Takes Center Stage for Huge Event

This Saturday, WWE is heading back to Australia with Crown Jewel 2025, one of the year’s most awaited shows. The night is packed with action, including the crowning of the men’s and women’s Crown Jewel champs. Plus, we’ve got some big matches lined up, like John Cena’s goodbye fight, Rhea Ripley’s return to her home turf, and Cody Rhodes defending his title against Seth Rollins.

Get ready for drama, unexpected twists, and moments you won’t forget as WWE brings its big show Down Under.

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

The women’s division is in focus with two of WWE’s brightest stars Stephanie Vaquer and Tiffany Stratton colliding for the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship.

Stratton has had a breakout year with signal performances at the Elimination Chamber in Australia, winning the Money in the Bank briefcase, and then cashing in to become champion during SmackDown’s first show of 2025. She’s had wins over Charlotte Flair, Nia Jax, Jade Cargill, and also defeated Hall of Famer Trish Stratus, proving that she’s a legit headliner.

However, Vaquer’s rise seems like it’s come out of nowhere. Vaquer defeated Iyo Sky at Wrestlepalooza in a Match of the Year preshow, and captured her first Women’s World Championship. She’s made the leap from NXT to main roster without missing a beat. Vaquer’s tsunami of momentum, and closeness with the crowd make her the favorite going into Crown Jewel.

💥 Prediction: Stephanie Vaquer defeats Tiffany Stratton to become the second Women’s Crown Jewel Champion.

John Cena vs. AJ Styles — Cena’s Last Dance

John Cena, in what could be his very last match in Australia, will be up against his long-time adversary AJ Styles in a bout that is a mixture of nostalgia and sentiment.

Their feud in 2016–17 era saw them making some of the best matches of their careers, and now, it seems like their face-off will be a perfect goodbye for the 16-time World Champion. However, WWE has not done much for this match apart from some brief mentions on social media, yet it is almost impossible for fans to forget the magic these two put on when they work together.

One would see a lot of references to their past battles, close calls that get the adrenaline up, and the emotional thread woven throughout Cena’s career being presented in character work.

🎯 Prediction: John Cena beats AJ Styles in a classic farewell match by pinfall.

Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky vs The Kabuki Warriors

Local star Rhea Ripley is sure to get a huge cheer tonight when she teams up with Iyo Sky to take on The Kabuki Warriors – Asuka and Kairi Sane.

Things have been heating up between the old Damage CTRL partners, and now we’ve got this big tag team fight. Asuka and Sane have both been champs before, but WWE probably won’t want Ripley to lose in her own backyard.

This match should be quick, with some crazy team moments and a happy ending for Ripley. But after it’s all done, The Kabuki Warriors might get back at them later, bringing back one of WWE’s biggest rivalries.

🔥 Prediction: Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky win, with Ripley pinning Kairi Sane

Men’s Crown Jewel Championship: Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins

In the main event of the evening, Cody Rhodes will defend his Men’s Crown Jewel Championship against Seth “Freakin” Rollins in what may very well be the most unpredictable match of the night.

Their history runs deep — starting with Cody’s major WWE comeback in 2022, when he decisively defeated Seth three times, to Rollins, now on a comeback after a successful redemption arc to defeat his long-time nemesis. The stakes feel personal and emotional.

Cody Rhodes is now WWE’s undisputed Champion of the World since finally defeating Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40, with Seth Rollins as a key ingredient for Cody’s victory against Reigns, after all that history. But here we will see if this love/hate rivalry is set for a turn into an all out betrayal.

Reports indicate that Randy Orton has been trying to find his way to a title shot against Rhodes for a few months now, and it appears he will indeed make a surprise return when expected the least. His sudden RKO will secure Rollins the match while setting the stage for he and Rhodes to confront each other down the line.

💣 Prediction: Seth Rollins defeats Cody Rhodes after shocking interference from Randy Orton.

The 2025 WWE Crown Jewel will be a wild ride that will have the fans going through a whole gamut of emotions with championship drama, goodbye moments, and really surprising developments. It’s possible that this spectacle could not only be Ripley’s arrival back at the WWE but also the whole trajectory of WWE storylines leading to the WrestleMania season.

It is also very likely that the WWE fans down under will be receiving a fantastic gift as the Australian continent is getting ready to welcome one of the most incredible nights of the WWE.
