WWE Crown Jewel 2025 predictions, preview &#8211; NZPWI Roundtable

Men’s Crown Jewel Championship:
Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins

Grady Hooker:
Cody Rhodes might have Seth Rollins’ number, but there is a difference this time – The Vision. I’m going to give the edge to this new friend-backed Rollins over Rhodes.
Winner: Seth Rollins

David Dunn:
I’m wary of The Vision. Of course, they could get tangled up or taken out in the Australian Street Fight (here’s hoping!) but Rhodes has struggled in the past when the numbers are against him.
Winner: Seth Rollins

Steve McCleary:
If Seth can’t beat Cody now, after all he’s managed to put together this year, and all the knowledge he’s gained from being on the losing end every time before, then his validity as a leader evaporates. I believe in his Vision, so I stand with Rollins. As long as he wins.
Winner: Seth Rollins

AJ Murtagh:
Seth Rollins has conquered everything in his career, except Cody Rhodes. With The Vision backing him, I believe Rollins will finally get his moment at Crown Jewel. Rhodes may have won last year, but in 2025, he’s up against a completely different version of Rollins.
Winner: Seth Rollins

Women’s Crown Jewel Championship:
Stephanie Vaquer vs. Tiffany Stratton

Grady:
A brand new champion going up against someone who has held their title all year. I’m not going to discount what Tiffany’s done for 10 months, but Stephanie has the momentum here with her big win and I think that’s enough to edge Tiffany out.
Winner: Stephanie Vaquer

David:
Tiffany’s obviously done enough to make it to the top of WWE, but Stephanie Vaquer has vastly more overall career experience. When it’s a close call like this, sometimes those stats can make all the difference.
Winner: Stephanie Vaquer

Steve:
This is difficult to predict, because Tiffy has been on such a tremendous run, but Vaquer has also had a stellar year. I think the edge goes to the new champion, who might feel like she’s got more to prove.
Winner: Stephanie Vaquer

AJ:
It’s been a dominant year for Tiffany Stratton since winning the WWE Women’s Championship in January. It takes a champion to beat a champion, though. Vaquer is beginning to make a name for herself, and I believe she may want the win just a little bit more.
Winner: Stephanie Vaquer
