The WWE has announced its next premium live event, Crown Jewel 2025, scheduled to take place on October 11 in Perth, Australia. This marks the first time the event will be held outside Saudi Arabia. The upcoming edition of WWE RAW is expected to advance ongoing storylines and set the stage for Crown Jewel.

Four potential matches for Crown Jewel could be confirmed on this week’s episode of WWE RAW. One possible match is between Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY versus The Kabuki Warriors. Last week, Rhea Ripley defeated Asuka, who then attacked Mami with poison mist. Kairi Sane joined Asuka, but IYO SKY intervened to save Ripley. However, Asuka turned on SKY, striking her with a spinning move. Tonight’s episode may address these events and lead to a tag team match between the two pairs at Crown Jewel.

Another potential match is Dominik Mysterio versus Rusev for the Intercontinental Championship. Rusev previously announced his intention to become the next champion, and Dominik Mysterio is set to defend his title against The Bulgarian Brute on WWE RAW. The match may involve interference from The Judgment Day or Mysterio’s ally, El Grande Americano, potentially leading to a rematch at Crown Jewel.

A match between Bayley and Lyra Valkyria is also possible. Bayley’s recent character change has been problematic for Valkyria, and the veteran’s darker side has been emerging. Last week, Bayley defeated Roxanne Perez and then shoved Valkyria to the ground, berating her. Tonight, Bayley faces Raquel Rodriguez, which may lead to her fully turning on Valkyria and confirming a match against her at Crown Jewel.

Additionally, AJ Lee may face Becky Lynch for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Lee made her in-ring return at WWE Wrestlepalooza, teaming up with CM Punk to defeat Lynch and Seth Rollins. Lee submitted Lynch with her signature Black Widow hold, potentially earning a title shot. Tonight’s episode of WWE RAW may confirm this match for Crown Jewel.

These potential matches highlight the upcoming event’s promise and the storylines that will unfold in the lead-up to Crown Jewel 2025. As the WWE continues to build momentum for the event, fans can expect an exciting and action-packed night of wrestling on October 11 in Perth, Australia.
