As WWE Crown Jewel 2025 in Perth draws closer, excitement is reaching fever pitch. For the first time, the prestigious Crown Jewel event is taking place outside Saudi Arabia, and all eyes are on the RAC Arena in Western Australia. Hours before showtime, WWE has pulled back the curtain on the event’s impressive setup, giving fans a glimpse of the custom stage and dynamic digital graphics that will set the tone for one of wrestling’s biggest nights of the year[4].
A New Crown Jewel Tradition Begins in Perth
WWE Crown Jewel has long been synonymous with spectacle, but 2025 marks a new chapter. Moving from Riyadh to Perth, the event carries extra significance—it’s not just another stop on the road, but a global statement from WWE. The RAC Arena has been transformed into a wrestling wonderland, with a massive, custom-designed stage and vibrant arena-wide graphics that immerse the crowd in the Crown Jewel experience[1][4].
According to a WWE insider, “The goal was to make the Perth event feel even bigger than previous Crown Jewels. We wanted fans in the building—and watching at home—to know instantly they’re seeing something special.” The stage itself borrows thematic elements from both Australian iconography and Crown Jewel’s signature “royal” motif, blending local flavor with WWE’s signature grandiosity[4].
Major Matches and High Stakes at Crown Jewel 2025
With the stage set, the focus turns to the ring—and the card is stacked. The headline attraction pits Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes against World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins for the Men’s Crown Jewel Championship. This marks their fourth major singles encounter since Rhodes’ 2022 return, with Rollins yet to notch a victory. Backstage, sources close to Seth Rollins reveal that he’s “laser-focused” on finally besting Rhodes, especially with Paul Heyman reportedly questioning his loyalty in recent weeks[2].
On the women’s side, WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton and Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer collide in a first-ever singles match for the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship. This bout isn’t just about gold—it’s a chance for both rising stars to cement their legacies on one of wrestling’s grandest stages. A WWE production source told us, “Tiffany and Stephanie have been working extra sessions with producers to make sure this match delivers. The pressure is on, but both are ready to steal the show.”[2]
Elsewhere, John Cena faces AJ Styles in what is being billed as Cena’s final Australian pay-per-view match. Roman Reigns and Bronson Reed go to war in an Australian Street Fight, while Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY team up against Asuka and Kairi Sane in a high-stakes tag team grudge match.
Behind the Curtain: The Making of Crown Jewel Perth
Preparing for a premium live event of this scale is no small feat. Behind the scenes, the WWE production team worked for days to assemble the custom entranceway, LED screens, and pyro effects that will punctuate the evening’s biggest moments. The RAC Arena’s unique layout allowed for creative staging options, with ramps and platforms designed to maximize fan engagement.
A veteran WWE stagehand, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, “We’ve got more LED panels in Perth than ever before. The graphics will play into the Crown Jewel theme and change dynamically throughout the night. Fans are going to feel like they’re part of the action.” Indeed, early photos from inside the venue show a stage dripping in gold and purple, with digital ribbons wrapping around the arena and highlighting key moments as they unfold[4].
Fan Experience: Immersion and Atmosphere
For the live audience, Crown Jewel Perth is shaping up to be a sensory overload. In addition to the high-tech visuals, WWE has promised interactive elements: fans can expect surprise video packages, live polls, and even the chance to influence certain match stipulations via the WWE App. The goal is clear—make the in-arena experience as unforgettable as the wrestling itself.
According to a Perth-based WWE event staffer, “We’re seeing a lot of first-time attendees. The atmosphere is electric, and the buzz online is unreal. People here know this is history being made.”
The Bigger Picture: WWE’s International Expansion
Crown Jewel’s move to Perth is more than a one-off—it’s part of WWE’s broader strategy to globalize its biggest events. With Australia’s wrestling fanbase growing rapidly, hosting a marquee pay-per-view in Perth is a calculated move to expand WWE’s reach in the Asia-Pacific region[1].
A WWE executive, speaking off the record, noted: “Australia has always been a passionate market for us. Bringing Crown Jewel here is a testament to that passion. If this event delivers, expect to see more international mega-shows in the future.”
Predictions, Drama, and the Road Ahead
As the final hour ticks down, speculation is rife about the night’s biggest matches. Will Seth Rollins finally conquer Cody Rhodes? Can Tiffany Stratton or Stephanie Vaquer breakout as the new face of the women’s division? And what surprises await in the final chapter of John Cena’s Australian in-ring career?
Backstage, tensions are high but the mood is optimistic. One WWE producer remarked, “We’ve got all the pieces in place—great talent, a killer crowd, and a stage that’s going to look incredible on TV. This is what Crown Jewel is all about.”
Conclusion: A Night to Remember
WWE Crown Jewel 2025 in Perth is poised to be a landmark event—both for the company and for Australian wrestling fans. With a state-of-the-art stage, a stacked match card, and the electric atmosphere of the RAC Arena, this is one night that will be talked about for years to come.
