WWE Crown Jewel 2025: Full Card & Analysis for Champion vs. Champion Showdown

The landscape of WWE is set for a monumental collision as two massive Champion vs. Champion matches have been made official for the next premium live event, WWE Crown Jewel 2025. In a battle for brand supremacy and ultimate bragging rights, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will face World Heavyweight Champion Seth “Freakin” Rollins, while WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton is on a collision course with the new Women’s World Champion, Stephanie Vaquer.

What’s the big deal about Crown Jewel 2025?

The event on October 11th will be headlined by two epic champion vs. champion bouts. Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins will reignite their historic, personal rivalry. Meanwhile, two of the fastest-rising women’s champions, Tiffany Stratton and Stephanie Vaquer, will clash for the first time. The winners will earn the title of “Crown Jewel Champion”.

Rhodes vs. Rollins

This champion vs. champion encounter between Cody Rhodes and Seth “Freakin” Rollins is not just a dream match; it’s the fourth chapter in one of the most intense and personal rivalries of the modern era. To understand the stakes at Crown Jewel, one must look back at their brutal history. Their trilogy in 2022 defined Rhodes’ epic return to WWE, with “The American Nightmare” winning all three encounters, including a legendary performance inside Hell in a Cell where he competed with a completely torn pectoral muscle.

That loss has haunted Rollins ever since. While he went on to become the inaugural World Heavyweight Champion and has been a fighting champion on Raw, the shadow of Cody Rhodes has loomed large. According to wrestling analytics from Cagematch (2025), Rollins has a win rate of over 75% as World Heavyweight Champion, yet his 0-3 record against Rhodes remains a critical stain on his legacy. This match is Rollins’ chance at redemption. It’s his opportunity to finally prove he can defeat the one man who has his number.

For Cody Rhodes, the objective is different. He is the Undisputed WWE Champion, the man who “finished the story.” A victory over Rollins would not only reaffirm his dominance over his greatest rival but also solidify his position as the undisputed top star in all of WWE. It’s a classic clash of motivations: redemption vs. domination.

Will Rollins finally get his win back, or does Rhodes own a permanent psychological edge?

Can Tiffany Stratton Handle Stephanie Vaquer?

The second champion vs. champion match pits two of the most impressive female athletes in WWE against each other in a true clash of styles. WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton represents the new-age, hyper-athletic WWE superstar. Her background in gymnastics translates to a flawless, high-flying offense, and her “Prettiest Moonsault Ever” is one of the most protected finishing moves in the company.

In the other corner stands the new Women’s World Champion, Stephanie Vaquer. Her path to WWE gold was forged in the grueling rings of Mexico’s CMLL, where she became a master of technical “llave” submission wrestling.

This match is crucial for both women’s divisions. The winner will not only be a “Crown Jewel Champion” but will also be seen as the benchmark for women’s wrestling in WWE moving forward.

What is the “Crown Jewel Champion” Title?

The concept of crowning a “Crown Jewel Champion” adds a unique layer of prestige to these champion vs. champion matches. While the wrestlers’ primary championships are not on the line, the winners of these special bouts receive a distinct honor, continuing a tradition that WWE established at last year’s event. This isn’t just an exhibition; it’s a battle for acknowledged supremacy.

In an era with two world titles and two women’s world titles, these matches serve a critical purpose. They provide a definitive answer, even if temporary, to the question: “Who is the real champion?” A victory at Crown Jewel can elevate a champion’s reign from great to legendary.
