The 2025 Crown Jewel, also promoted as Crown Jewel: Perth, is an upcoming professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by the American company WWE. It will be the seventh Crown Jewel, taking place on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at the RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia, Australia and featuring wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. Matches for the men's and women's Crown Jewel Championships have been announced.
This will be the first Crown Jewel held outside of Saudi Arabia, as all previous Crown Jewel events were held in the country's capital of Riyadh. The event is expected to be John Cena's last pay-per-view and livestreaming event appearance in Australia as an in-ring performer due to his retirement from professional wrestling at the end of 2025.

Background
Crown Jewel is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by the American promotion WWE since 2018, typically held in late October–early November. From its inception until 2024, it was the main recurring event that took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia as part of a 10-year partnership with the country in support of Saudi Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia's social and economic reform program, and it was held as part of the annual Riyadh Season festivities.[1] Beginning with the 2024 event, Crown Jewel became centered around the men's and women's Crown Jewel Championship matches, held between the respective men's and women's world champions of WWE's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions to determine the "best of the best".[2]
In February 2025, following the success of the 2024 Elimination Chamber, which was held in Perth, Western Australia, WWE announced that they would be returning to Australia sometime in 2025 for a takeover weekend that would include a PPV and livestreaming event and tapings of Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.[3] As a result of the Royal Rumble in January 2026 being held as part of Saudi Arabia's 2025–2026 Riyadh Season,[4] on May 2, 2025, the Australian PPV and livestreaming event was announced as the seventh Crown Jewel, also promoted as Crown Jewel: Perth, scheduled for the RAC Arena on Saturday, October 11, 2025, marking the first Crown Jewel to not be held in Saudi Arabia. SmackDown was also confirmed for October 10 and Raw on October 13 at the same venue.[5][6][7]
In addition to airing on traditional PPV worldwide and via livestreaming on Peacock in the United States, the event will also be available to livestream on Netflix in most international markets and the WWE Network in any remaining countries that have not yet transferred to Netflix due to pre-existing contracts. This marks the first Crown Jewel to livestream on Netflix following the WWE Network's merger under the service in January 2025 in those areas,[8] and the last Crown Jewel to livestream on Peacock in the United States, as ESPN's direct-to-consumer streaming service will assume the streaming rights beginning in April 2026.[9]
Storylines
The event will include matches that result from scripted storylines. Results are predetermined by WWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands,[10][11] while storylines are produced on WWE's weekly television shows, Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.[12]
