Final Picks for Rhodes vs. Rollins, Cena vs. Styles, Full WWE Crown Jewel Match Card

This year's WWE Crown Jewel event is taking place in Perth, Australia, marking the first time WWE has used this name outside of Saudi Arabia since the show's debut back in 2018.

This PLE will feature another stop on the John Cena Retirement Tour with a fight against one of his most popular rivals, AJ Styles.

We will also see two grudge matches play out when Bronson Reed takes on Roman Reigns, and The Kabuki Warriors battle Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley.

However, the co-main events for this show will be the Crown Jewel Championship bouts between the WWE and world champions from the men's and women's divisions.

Cody Rhodes will face Seth Rollins, and Stephanie Vaquer will take on Tiffany Stratton. This will be the second time Rhodes is competing for the Crown Jewel title, but it will be the first time for the other three competitors.

Let's look at each match and make some predictions.

The Kabuki Warriors vs. Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley

The relationship between Sky and her former friends, Asuka and Kairi Sane, deteriorated over the course of several weeks, but it was mostly one-sided.

Sane has never felt like she wanted to turn on Sky, even after it happened. It was only Asuka who drove her to do it. In fact, Asuka is the only clear heel in this whole match.

Sky's friendship with Ripley was a big part of what drove Asuka to do what she did, so The Eradicator ended up with a face full of mist when the betrayal happened.

With The Kabuki Warriors getting the better of their rivals on more than one occasion, the most satisfying outcome would be to see Sky get the win by pinning Asuka.

If any part of this feud is to continue, The Genius of the Sky winning is the perfect way to drive Asuka further into madness.

Prediction: Ripley and Sky win

Roman Reigns vs. Bronson Reed

Reed and Reigns will butt heads in an Australian Street Fight, which means anything goes, and that almost certainly means Bronson Reed and The Usos will be involved in some way.

The Vision and whatever remains of The Bloodline have been going back and forth for months. This feud has had just about everything, including multiple instances of shoe theft.

While Reigns winning would never be surprising, this feels like WWE's chance to truly cement Reed as a top heel on Raw.

Their last match at Clash in Paris ended with The OTC's hand raised, so he gains nothing from getting another victory. Reed would benefit so much more, especially if he gets the win in his home country.

This will be a physical bout that will likely include weapons, broken barricades, tables and plenty of interference, so no matter who wins, it should be fun.

Prediction: Reed wins

John Cena vs. AJ Styles

The farewell tour for Cena has hit plenty of bumps in the road, but we will likely see the best bout he's had all year when he clashes with Styles for the last time.

The Phenomenal One was right when he said this match didn't need some big convoluted story behind it. This is just two veterans with a long history going to battle one more time. It sells itself.

Sadly, the ending feels like the most predictable one on the card. Cena just lost to Brock Lesnar, so he is not about to lose a second match in a row during his final stretch.

Styles is going to help Cena deliver his best performance in 2025, but in the end, he is going to take the L. Whether it ends clean or with interference from someone to set up Cena's next match is the biggest question mark.

Prediction: Cena wins

Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins

Cena vs. Styles might be the most predictable outcome on the card, but the runner-up is definitely the men's Crown Jewel Championship match.

Rollins is coming into this bout at a 3-0 deficit in his feud with Rhodes. Their trilogy of matches when The American Nightmare first returned to WWE was outstanding, but Rhodes emerged as the victor every time.

It's about time for The Visionary to get one over on his former ally in the fight against The Bloodline.

Rollins has Paul Heyman, Reed and Breakker to help him in whatever way he needs, so even if he loses, Rhodes won't come away from this bout looking like a loser. He will look like the valiant babyface who got screwed over by the intelligent heel.

Prediction: Rollins wins

Tiffany Stratton vs. Stephanie Vaquer

Stratton and Vaquer are both clearly priorities for WWE based on how they have been booked, but only one woman can walk away with the Crown Jewel title.

Stratton has been the champion on SmackDown for almost all of 2025. She won the belt on January 3 and has successfully fought off all challengers. Vaquer, on the other hand, only got an opportunity at the world title when Naomi relinquished the belt due to her pregnancy.

Stratton has had 10 months of wins to solidify her title reign as more than a fluke, and she also won the Money in the Bank match prior to that. Vaquer has yet to have that big defining moment as a champion, and this feels like the right time.

Stratton will give her a good fight, but La Primera is going to leave Crown Jewel with a new accolade.

Prediction: Vaquer wins
