WWE’s Crown Jewel 2025 is set to make history by venturing outside Saudi Arabia for the first time, with the action landing Down Under at Perth’s RAC Arena on October 11, 2025. The company has already confirmed several high‑profile matchups that promise to deliver drama, championship intrigue, and must-see showdowns. Here’s a look at the card as it stands, with every confirmed match and what’s riding on each bout.

Men’s Crown Jewel Championship

Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins

At the top of the card, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will face World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins to determine the 2025 Men’s Crown Jewel Champion. This champion‑versus‑champion bout was officially confirmed following WrestlePalooza and immediately became WWE’s headliner for the Perth event. The stakes may be symbolic, but the rivalry between Rhodes and Rollins has deep history.

Women’s Crown Jewel Championship

Stephanie Vaquer vs. Tiffany Stratton

WWE wasted little time confirming the women’s side of the championship stakes. Stephanie Vaquer, the Women’s World Champion, will take on WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton for the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship.

AJ Styles vs. John Cena

WWE has confirmed that AJ Styles will go head-to-head with John Cena in what is being billed as another marquee singles match. The matchup holds extra weight given Cena’s pending retirement and the storied history between these two legends from their clashes in 2016-2017. Cena, only months away from his final in‑ring matches, is hoping to add another high-profile victory to his farewell tour.

Asuka & Kairi Sane vs. IYO SKY & Rhea Ripley

WWE has officially added a tag team clash to the card: Asuka and Kairi Sane will take on IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley. This match emerges from ongoing tensions, betrayals, and shifting alliances within the women’s roster, particularly as SKY and Ripley have been embroiled in conflict with the Kabuki Warriors.

Australian Street Fight: Roman Reigns vs. Bronson Reed

The biggest late surprise: Roman Reigns vs. Bronson Reed in an Australian Street Fight is now officially confirmed. Reigns will battle Reed in a “vicious Australian Street Fight.”

Bronson Reed, being Australian, brings hometown momentum and local flavor to the match. Reports leading up to the event have revealed that this match will use “open rules” and may incorporate uniquely Australian weapons or props, from cricket bats to boomerangs.

To access it:

As WWE prepares to hold Crown Jewel 2025 in Perth, Australia on Saturday, October 11, fans around the world are gearing up for live viewing. Below is the definitive guide to main card start times, based on the confirmed 8:00 AM ET kickoff for the U.S. (main card).

WWE Crown Jewel 2025 US Start Time (Main Card) – 8:00 AM ET

  This timing places the U.S. audience in the early-morning window, allowing viewers to catch the main card live before the afternoon hours.

WWE Crown Jewel 2025 UK Start Time (Main Card) – 1:00 PM BST

In the United Kingdom and across much of Western Europe, the main card start time is 1:00 PM British Summer Time (BST). This midday slot gives fans in the UK a prime afternoon window to watch the show live.

WWE Crown Jewel 2025 Australia Start Time (Main Card) – 11:00 PM AEST

For Australian viewers, the main card kicks off at 11:00 PM Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST).
Given that the event is staged in Perth (Western Australia), local time zone differences must be considered, but for fans across the east coast, that’s the hour to tune in for the main card.

If you’re in Australia (or anywhere around the world) and want to catch the preshow for WWE Crown Jewel 2025 live, here’s your complete guide. Here, we’ll focus on how to watch the preshow broadcast only.

How to watch the Crown Jewel Preshow live via Netflix in Australia

Because WWE’s global streaming rights have shifted, Netflix is the primary platform for live airing of WWE Premium Live Event content (including the preshow) in Australia and many other international markets.

• Ensure you have a Netflix subscription in Australia.
• When the preshow begins, Netflix will stream it live as part of the Crown Jewel event feed.
• No separate “preshow-only” channel or add-on is needed; it is bundled with the full event coverage on Netflix.
• Check your Netflix app or browser ahead of time to ensure it’s updated and ready for live streaming.

How to stream the Crown Jewel preshow in Australia via ESPN / local partners

Though Netflix is the dominant platform internationally, there are subtleties depending on regional rights platforms:

• In the U.S., WWE Crown Jewel content (including preshow) is handled via ESPN streaming services.
• In Australia, your path for the preshow will still primarily be Netflix. WWE’s official “How to Watch” guidance confirms that Netflix will carry WWE Premium Live Events in most international territories beyond the U.S.

If, for your region, there is a local broadcast or cable partner (for instance a sports channel or Foxtel bundle), you might check with that provider to see if they include the preshow feed. However, for Crown Jewel 2025 in Australia, Netflix remains the assured route.

How to prepare for the preshow live stream (Australia)

To make sure you don’t miss the preshow:

1. Confirm the start time – The preshow usually begins 30 to 60 minutes before the main card. Double-check WWE’s schedule for that detail.
2. Log in early – Open Netflix about 10-15 minutes before the preshow begins and search for “Crown Jewel 2025.” The live stream placeholder should appear.
3. Test your internet connection – Ensure sufficient speed and stability (e.g., 5–10 Mbps or more) for high-definition live streaming.
4. Device readiness – Use a compatible device (smart TV, streaming stick, tablet, laptop). Make sure the Netflix app is up to date.
5. Avoid region issues – Since Netflix is locally available in Australia, region locks shouldn’t be a problem. Just ensure your subscription is valid in your location.

What to expect from the Crown Jewel preshow broadcast

The preshow typically includes:

• Match preview segments
• Interviews with WWE Superstars
• Commentary and hype packages
• Panel introductions and backstage scenes

These features set the tone for the main card and tend to kick off well before the main matches begin.

Because the preshow is integrated into the live event feed on Netflix, once Netflix starts streaming Crown Jewel 2025, the preshow will automatically be part of that feed, so no extra switching or channel changes required.

The highly anticipated WWE Crown Jewel 2025 premium live event is set for Saturday, 11 October 2025 in Perth, Australia. While the main show will draw the most attention on the day itself, fans around the world will also want to tune in early for the preshow, scheduled to begin at 6:00 a.m. Eastern Time (ET).

WWE Crown Jewel 2025 Preshow Start Time in the United States (Eastern, Central, Pacific)

• Central Time (CT): 5:00 a.m.
• Mountain Time (MT): 4:00 a.m.

WWE Crown Jewel 2025 Preshow Start Time in the United Kingdom

The U.K. is 5 hours ahead of Eastern Time (during British Summer Time). Therefore:

• United Kingdom (BST): 11:00 a.m.

So U.K. fans can catch the preshow late in the morning before moving on to the main card later in the day.

Preshow Start Time in Australia (Perth / AWST & Other Zones)
