Overview
- The premium live event is set for Oct. 11 at RAC Arena in Perth and streams in the U.S. on the ESPN App for ESPN Unlimited subscribers.
- The five-match card features Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins, Stephanie Vaquer vs. Tiffany Stratton, Roman Reigns vs. Bronson Reed in an Australian Street Fight, John Cena vs. AJ Styles, and Rhea Ripley & Iyo Sky vs. The Kabuki Warriors.
- The men’s and women’s champion-vs.-champion bouts award Crown Jewel championship rings, framing the matches as bragging-rights contests rather than title unifications.
- Cena vs. Styles is a late-stage stop on Cena’s retirement tour with minimal TV build, and Styles said on a podcast he and Cena are unlikely to schedule another match in Saudi Arabia.
- Pundits are predicting at least one surprise or heel/face turn, floating scenarios such as a Randy Orton attack or a Brock Lesnar run-in, though no such appearances are advertised.
