WWE Crown Jewel results: Cena outlasts AJ Styles, Rollins stuns Rhodes, Bronson Reed shocks Roman Reigns in Perth

John Cena vs. AJ Styles: a farewell clinic with crowd-pleasing tributes

John Cena and AJ Styles treated Perth to a polished love letter to pro wrestling. Cena leaned into nostalgia without sacrificing competitiveness, sprinkling in well-placed homages before closing the door with a Tombstone Piledriver into an Attitude Adjustment. The handshake and embrace after the bell underlined the bout’s tone: two all-timers making their timing, pacing, and chemistry the real headline.

Seth Rollins topples Cody Rhodes—what it signals for the title scene

Seth Rollins’ victory over Cody Rhodes reshapes the men’s title landscape heading into the final stretch of 2025. Where Rhodes typically thrives on endurance and late surges, Rollins countered with targeted offense and opportunistic ring IQ, cutting off Cody’s rally windows and forcing a clean outcome. The result doesn’t end their rivalry; it reframes it, likely steering both toward Survivor Series season with new stakes and fresh dance partners circling.

Bronson Reed over Roman Reigns: a career-making win on home soil

In the night’s loudest shock, Bronson Reed defeated Roman Reigns in an Australian Street Fight, turning local thunder into a global headline. Weapons, chaos, and interference created the kind of environment that typically favors Reigns’ game management—until it didn’t. Reed’s power and persistence, combined with timely chaos among Reigns’ allies, produced the rarest WWE commodity: a clear singles loss for the company’s most protected figure. The fallout is immediate—Reed vaults into main-event conversations, and the fractures around The Bloodline deepen.

Women’s tag showcase keeps momentum hot

Rhea Ripley, returning as Australia’s favorite hammer, teamed with IYO SKY to defeat Asuka and Kairi Sane. The pairing achieved two goals at once: spotlight Ripley in front of a partisan crowd and give SKY a premium-stage win against world-class opposition. The division leaves Perth with momentum and multiple matchup permutations alive for the next premium live event.

The bigger picture: Perth proves WWE’s global model has another gear

Crown Jewel’s move to Australia wasn’t just a venue swap—it was proof of concept for taking tentpole weekends to markets that can supply stadium-level energy on broadcast-friendly schedules. Perth’s crowd met the moment, and the booking rewarded them with decisive finishes and career pivots rather than placeholders. From here, watch for: Reed’s elevation into sustained top-card feuds, how Rollins’ win rearranges title trajectories, and which veterans get the next dance with Cena as his farewell calendar winds on. If Perth is the template, WWE’s international era just found a new stride.
