The WWE’s Crown Jewel event is set to take place in Australia for the first time, featuring the Crown Jewel Championship on the line for its second occurrence.
Since its inception in 2018, Crown Jewel has become a staple in WWE events, but the championship was only introduced last year. This time, the matches will include both men’s and women’s title bouts, matching the champions from “Raw” and “SmackDown” against one another. Notably, Cody Rhodes, the SmackDown Champion, will compete, having won the inaugural Crown Jewel Championship previously.
This event will also mark another chapter in John Cena’s retirement tour, although he won’t be in contention for the title.
WWE Crown Jewel 2025 Details:
- When: October 11th, 8 a.m. Eastern Time
- Where: RAC Arena, Perth, Western Australia
- Streaming: ESPN Unlimited
This year’s Crown Jewel is really something to look forward to.
Start Time:
The event kicks off at 8 a.m. ET, with pre-show coverage starting at 6 a.m. ET.
How to Watch:
Crown Jewel will be available exclusively on the ESPN Unlimited streaming service. If you don’t have ESPN yet, it can be subscribed to for $29.99 monthly.
If you’re looking for more streaming options, bundling Disney+ with Hulu and ESPN could be a good idea. The basic ad-supported bundle costs $29.99 a month, but you can also opt for an ad-free version at $38.99.
Broadcast Availability:
Just so you know, Crown Jewel won’t be broadcast on the ESPN TV channel; it’s a streaming-only event.
ESPN programming executive John Lasker mentioned that subscribers using traditional cable services, like Spectrum or Verizon FIOS, will have an easier time accessing their ESPN accounts through those providers.
For anyone using Comcast, Dish, or YouTube TV, ESPN Unlimited isn’t directly accessible, meaning you’ll have to sign up separately to watch the event.
