It’s the Crown Jewel Countdown Show!

Join Michael Cole, Wade Barrett & Big E in discussing, analyzing and predicting all the action about to go down tonight, or this morning if you’re stateside, in Perth!

Operation: Crown Jewel – The Royal Transfer

From Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and the WWE Experience, the team of experts carefully place the Men’s & Women’s Crown Jewel Championships into their secure carrying cases, and then those cases into the SUVs, all with the white glove treatment. Then a private jet takes those cases 7,065 MILES to Perth, Australia. And from there, two more SUVs arrive at the arena, and the championships are prepped. Now they simply await the winners of tonight’s epic showdowns!

Can you hear it?

Rhea Ripley narrates: “We start in silence. Finding the calm in our minds, and the peace in our hearts. But we are not meant to stay there. Not when we hear it. Can you hear it? Our sound isn’t just heard, it’s felt. It’s the roar, the rhythm, the chaos, the chant. From every corner of the globe, these sounds need no translation. That is what ‘real’ sounds like. Can you hear it? Tonight, from my beloved island nation, we will be wilder, we will be bolder, and we will show the world what Australia sounds like. Can you hear it now? I can.”

Jimmy tries to calm Jey down, but Jey isn’t hearing it. Jey also storms off! What is going to happen to the OG Bloodline now that it’s all falling apart?

WWE Women’s Crown Jewel Championship: Stephanie Vaquer VS Tiffany Stratton!

La Primera made history in NXT by being the first woman to hold NXT Women’s & NXT Women’s North American Championships at the same time.

La Primera proves she IS La Primera, she adds another historic accolade to her résumé! Triple H is here to not only present the belt and ring to the winner, but to hug it out with Vaquer. The fans chant “You Deserve It!” but that’s because she earned it! Vaquer puts the ring on her index finger, and HHH helps put the belt around her waist. Jackie Redmond is here to interview our second-ever Women’s Crown Jewel Champion. She’s 21 days into her world title reign, the fans chanted, “You Deserve It,” and do so again. What does it all mean to her? Vaquer takes the mic to say, “Australia, I am so happy righ t now. Tonight, we made history together!” The fans cheer that!

Vaquer continues that this title, this is not just a beautiful belt. This represents all the motivation, the support, and love they have given her. She followed her dream. The fans believed in her.

The fans cheer as Vaquer gets to hold both belts up and gets pyro to celebrate! Vaquer is truly number one, but who will step to her as a #1 contender?

The Vision regroups backstage.

Bron Breakker says no one was able to beat Roman Reigns for years! But Bronson Reed did! He did that! Then in steps Heyman, and he shakes Bronson’s hand to congratulate him. Tribal Thief over Tribal Chief, always. From now on, when people talk about the vision of the future of this industry, they’ll talk about both Bron and Bronson. And one more thing: Seth Rollins VS Cody Rhodes… If for some reason Rollins were to climb the top rope, face the stage, flail his arms in the air, and begs all three of The Vision to come out and help him… Don’t do it. This is a meritocracy, boys. Either Rollins is better or Cody is better, and we find out tonight.

And just in case, Heyman will start making arrangements for their victory party, for when they get back to the States. Heyman says he’s proud of Bronson and pats him on the shoulder before leaving. But Bron asks, “What happens if Cody wins? Then what?” Bronson isn’t sure, but Heyman steps back in and says, “I think you both know the answer to that question.” The Oracle leaves again, is this truly a make or break night for The Visionary?

John Cena VS AJ Styles!

It was back in 2016 when The GOAT and the Phenomenal finally met face to face, but that historic moment was the culmination of two very different paths. Ruthless Aggression gave John Cena his rise to the top, while AJ Styles was about Total Nonstop Action. But Styles truly made an impact when he finally joined the WWE, and shocked many when he #BeatUpJohnCena! It was a truly epic feud that coincided with Cena’s 16th title reign. There was also respect forged, and they each went on their own paths again. But now, as both men are in the home stretch of their historic careers, Cena, Styles, and the fans all rallied for this final showdown!

Winner: Seth Rollins, by pinfall (2025 Men’s Crown Jewel Champion)

The American Nightmare and The Visionary pushed each other to their limits, but it wasn’t about reaching new heights for Rollins but about stooping to new lows! Rollins doesn’t even realize he’s won until the announcement is said and the ref raises his hand! Rollins finally has a win over Cody, and Triple H brings him the Crown Jewel Championship and ring. HHH helps put the belt on Rollins, then Rollins puts the ring on his finger. “Like a glove!” HHH raises Rollins’ hand in victory, then they hug for a moment before Rollins goes to the corner. Rollins stands tall with both Crown Jewel and World Heavyweight Championships, but now Cathy Kelley steps in.

Cathy was going to interview Rollins, but he snatches the mic from her! The fans boo, Rollins says, “Aw boo-hoo! I don’t need your questions, Cathy! I know what you’re gonna ask! How does it feel to get that monkey off your back? How does it feel?” The fans boo more, but Rollins says it feels better than any FAN could ever imagine! “Because some of us dream impossible dreams, and some of us have the fortitude to reach those dreams. But there is only one man, ONE MAN… Hahaha… Only one man who reaches higher than the highest! I am no longer just the greatest of my generation, I proved I’m the greatest of all time!

“That’s right! That’s right! There’s only ONE, and he is a Visionary, he is a Revolutionary, he is SETH! FREAKIN’! ROLLINS!” Mic drop from the ever-so-humble Seth Rollins, and he again raises the belts, this time getting the pyro. This victory means The Vision will carry on, and Rollins is even joined by fellow Crown Jewel Champion, Stephanie Vaquer. The best of the best stand tall, but what, or who, is next for them both?

My Thoughts:

An awesome show here, especially for taking Crown Jewel out of Arabia and putting it in Australia. If ESPN’s own guy gave WrestlePalooza a C, this was definitely WWE bringing their A Game. Or at least B+, I cannot see it being called worse than that. Opening with Roman VS Bronson was really good stuff, though maybe cliche with Bron Breakker helping Bronson, and then that bringing out The Usos. A pleasant surprise for that to cost Roman instead of help him, and now the OG Bloodline is on the outs again. Certainly adds some intrigue to that story, with perhaps Roman, Jey and even Jimmy having to fight it out to finally settle things.

The tag team match was great stuff, though Kairi could’ve played up being conflicted more, with Asuka being even more overbearing. Maybe they’ll get to that in another match or two, but the important thing was, Iyo & Rhea won. Not just because Rhea is from Australia, but because Rhea & Iyo needed to win to stick it to Asuka for the moment. There could be a rematch and that’s where things start to fall apart more for Kabuki Warriors, but this was fine for here. Cena VS Styles was awesome, especially with all the surprising references to rivals of both Cena and Styles, and in some cases, of both men. Great win for Cena, he needs that momentum going into his final four shows.

And in another pleasant surprise, both Crown Jewel Championships go to Raw. Rollins really did have to win, he couldn’t just go 0-4 against Cody, and Heyman was putting out all the ultimatums that Rollins was going to lose the team if he lost this match. But I did like that Heyman gave the orders to stay in the back, and it forced Rollins to figure things out on his own, and it was very clever for it to be the gift watch. Vaquer VS Tiffany was great stuff, a little scary at a part with Tiff’s neck and head, but she seemed alright if she finished. Great win for Vaquer, well-deserved, and I really do look forward to who challenges each of the champions next.

My Score: 9/10
