  • In the United States, the event was also available on ESPN’s direct-to-consumer service (DIRECTV Insider PPV guide).
  • Netflix subscribers in many international markets could watch the event live on Netflix.

TV channel details

Who won at Crown Jewel last night?

Men’s Crown Jewel match result

Seth Rollins defeated Cody Rhodes to win the Men’s Crown Jewel Championship, according to WWE official event results. The match was the main event of the evening.

Women’s Crown Jewel match result

Stephanie Vaquer defeated Tiffany Stratton to win the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship, confirmed by CBS Sports live coverage.

The trade-off: both champions are relatively new faces in the main event scene, signaling a clear generational shift for WWE.

The upshot

Seth Rollins and Stephanie Vaquer now hold the Crown Jewel belts — but the real prize for WWE is proving it can stage a premium live event outside the Middle East with equal production value.

What time and channel is WWE Crown Jewel?

Start time in different time zones

Channel availability

In the United States, the event was available on Peacock, WWE Network, ESPN’s DTC service, and traditional PPV providers (DIRECTV Insider PPV guide).

Why this matters: the early morning U.S. timeslot was a test for how well international events can draw domestic audiences on a Saturday morning.

What date is the WWE Crown Jewel?

Event date confirmed

WWE Crown Jewel 2025 took place on Saturday, October 11, 2025.

Why was it in October?

This edition moved from the traditional November slot to October to accommodate the Australian venue and avoid conflicting with other major WWE events later in the fall (Wikipedia event page).

The catch: the date change caught some fans off guard, but it also gave the event a distinct identity as the first Crown Jewel outside Saudi Arabia.

Who won the WWE title tonight?

Retrospective on the title changes

The “WWE title” in the context of Crown Jewel refers to the Crown Jewel Championship belts, which were awarded to Seth Rollins and Stephanie Vaquer. These are separate from the existing WWE World Heavyweight and Women’s World Championships (CBS Sports live coverage).

The implication: the Crown Jewel titles remain a special attraction rather than a permanent part of the weekly roster, preserving their prestige.

What to watch

Bronson Reed’s victory over Roman Reigns in an Australian Street Fight was the emotional highlight of the night — a hometown hero moment that could redefine his career trajectory.

For fans in Australia, the success of Crown Jewel in Perth could determine whether WWE returns to the region.
