WWE is reportedly preparing a major showdown for Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel 2025 — and this time the venue is Perth, Australia. It’s a large shift previous Crown Jewel events were held in Saudi Arabia and this move signals WWE’s commitment to making this edition feel special. Reigns is returning after a brief break (during which he pursued film projects) and expectations are high for him to headline the show. Speculation is swirling around Bronson Reed being his opponent — though nothing has been officially acknowledged as of now. The buzz is that WWE is eager to Reigns to carry the show down under — and pairing him with a challenger like Reed offers both star power and narrative potential.
Why This Encounter Makes Sense Right Now Reigniting the Battle Reigns and Reed share history: Reed made a surprise reappearance to RAW after some time off. Reign’s reappearance sets the stage for a renewed clash. A rematch not only gives viewers closure still opens new storytelling possibilities especially with Reed’s momentum as a rising name.
Elevating Local Interest in Australia By bringing a top-tier match to Australia, WWE helps local supporters feel invested. It's worth noting that if Reed gets the spotlight on his home turf, the emotional stakes rise. Reigns brings star power; Reed brings a local flame. Together, they could galvanize interest not just in the U.S., though across the Australian market especially for an event as sizable as Crown Jewel.
