⏰ Start Times & When It Aired
Due to time-zone differences, the event had early start times in the U.S.:

📺 How & Where to Watch
-
In the United States, Crown Jewel 2025 streamed via ESPN Unlimited (a direct-to-consumer streaming service), rather than on traditional pay TV or through Peacock.
-
Outside the U.S., in many regions the event was available on Netflix under WWE’s global streaming arrangement.
-
WWE also hosted a Countdown show ahead of the event and additional pre/post coverage.
So depending on your country, you’d use ESPN’s streaming platform (if in the U.S.) or Netflix (if your region is served by that) to watch live.
🎯 Match Card & Key Fights
Here are the main matches and results:
-
Roman Reigns vs. Bronson Reed — Australian Street Fight
-
Bronson Reed defeated Roman Reigns by pinfall in a brutal, no-disqualification brawl.
Notably, The Usos attempted to interfere, including a miscommunication where Jey Uso accidentally speared Reigns, helping Reed secure the win.
After the match, Reigns reprimanded The Usos and said: “I love you but I don’t want to see y’all until Christmas.”
-
Stephanie Vaquer vs. Tiffany Stratton — Women’s Crown Jewel Championship
Stephanie Vaquer defeated Tiffany Stratton to become the Women’s Crown Jewel Champion.The match saw back-and-forth momentum, with Stratton nearly hitting her moonsault, but Vaquer capitalized and pinned her.
John Cena vs. AJ Styles
- This bout was billed as part of John Cena’s retirement tour.
- Cena won the match, finishing it with a Tombstone Piledriver followed by an Attitude Adjustment.
- The match featured many homages to past rivalries and used a “video game style” of finishers in quick succession.
- Rhea Ripley & IYO SKY vs. The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane)
- Rhea Ripley teamed with Iyo Sky to defeat Asuka & Kairi Sane.
- Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins — Men’s Crown Jewel Championship
- This was the headline match. Cody Rhodes entered as the Undisputed WWE Champion; Seth Rollins as the World Heavyweight Champion.
- The match’s result isn’t fully confirmed in all sources, but it was presented as the main event.
- Some previews and predictions strongly expected Seth Rollins to win (potentially with interference from Paul Heyman or others)
🔍 Focus on Seth Rollins vs. Cody Rhodes
-
The match was built around the clash of two top champions from different brands — Rollins versus Rhodes with a symbolic “Crown Jewel Championship” ring at stake.
-
Rollins is trying to overcome past losses to Rhodes — he had several losses against Rhodes in prior feuds.
Predictions and betting odds in many outlets favored Rollins to win, especially with possible interference from Paul Heyman or other allied wrestlers.
-
I didn’t find a definitive, universally confirmed source stating the final outcome of the Rhodes vs. Rollins match in all reports — some live result coverage pages list it among matches to come.
If you like, I can dig up post-show official results to confirm that main event’s winner with 100% certainty.
📝 Observations & Highlights

Upset in the opener: Bronson Reed’s win over Roman Reigns in a Street Fight was a major surprise, given Reigns’ aura of invincibility.
