Overview
- WWE confirms Crown Jewel for Saturday, Oct. 11 at Perth’s RAC Arena, beginning at 8 a.m. ET for U.S. viewers on ESPN/ESPN Unlimited.
- The card features champion-vs.-champion matches Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins and Stephanie Vaquer vs. Tiffany Stratton, plus John Cena vs. AJ Styles and Rhea Ripley & Iyo Sky vs. Asuka & Kairi Sane.
- Roman Reigns said he feels “like crap” from weeks of jetlag yet emphasized he will perform, framing the Australian Street Fight with Bronson Reed as a punishing affair.
- Perth native Bronson Reed previewed local flavor for the no‑DQ bout, teasing weapons such as a cricket bat and joking about a boomerang, while noting he’d repeat a past high‑risk cage “Tsunami” despite a previous talus fracture.
- Analysts continue to float unadvertised twists — including possible run-ins by stars such as Brock Lesnar or a Randy Orton turn — though no such appearances are confirmed.
