2025 WWE Crown Jewel Odds and Picks: Cena Says Farewell to Fans “Down Under”

• John Cena (-2500)
• AJ Styles (+800)

While these two do have history, this match was built on social media as Cena asked for it after losing to Brock Lesnar at WrestlePalooza in September.

I do not choose my opponents, but I (even through tough times) ALWAYS listen to the fans.@AJStylesOrg are you listening?
Better yet @TripleH ….. are YOU listening???#CenaVsStyles https://t.co/BNspbeUxXd

Cena is such a large favorite in these WWE Crown Jewel odds as Styles isn’t the name that he used to be in WWE, and this looks like the company returning a favor.

Cena requested to fight Brock Lesnar at WrestlePalooza, and Lesnar ran through Cena easily. That won’t happen in Australia, where Cena will perform for fans outside the United States for the final time ahead of his retirement. However, it should be a good match, with both wrestlers getting to hit their signature moves.

I only see one winner here, as WWE will want to give a legend of the sport a proper goodbye with Australian fans. Still, the odds are way too low to back Cena, so I would stay away from a bet.

• Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky (-1500)
• Asuka and Kairi Sane (+600)

Ripley hails from Australia, so the crowd will definitely be on her team’s side.

Sky stepped in to help Ripley after she was attacked by Asuka and Sane in recent Raw episodes. Sky, Asuka, and Sane used to be in Damage CTRL, but now it’s just Asuka and Sane, known as the Kabuki Warriors.

But in Australia, it’s tough to give the nod to Asuka and Sane. Ripley might get the loudest pop of the night, even louder than Cena, and the WWE knows that. Like Cena’s match, I’m making Ripley and Sky my WWE Crown Jewel prediction here. But at a price of -1500, I wouldn’t put it on my WWE betting slip.

• Seth Rollins (-900)
• Cody Rhodes (+500)

Rhodes won the inaugural men’s Crown Jewel championship last year, defeating Gunther in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Rhodes still holds the Undisputed WWE Championship, and he’ll take on Raw’s World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins.

The two met on Raw on September 29, and again on SmackDown.

It also seems like something is brewing between Rhodes and Randy Orton, who are “friends,” and Orton has never owned Rhodes’ belt. I think that will come into play in Australia and set up a rivalry for the remaining quarter of the year.

At -900, I wouldn’t put much down on this unless you wanted to add it into a parlay, but Seth Rollins, via some sort of interference, is my WWE Crown Jewel prediction.

• Stephanie Vaquer (-250)
• Tiffany Stratton (+170)

This is the match that could go either way, as both could have a claim to the women’s Crown Jewel championship. Stratton is the SmackDown WWE Women’s Champion, while Vaquer won the Raw Women’s World Championship at WrestlePalooza. Liv Morgan defeated Nia Jax for the inaugural women’s title in 2024.

It was interesting that WWE Women’s U.S. Champion Giulia and Kiana James got involved in the contract signing. The company might be lining up a rivalry between the two teams, and I think Guilia and James could make their presence known in this match against Vaquer.

I’ll take Stratton at +170 in my WWE Crown Jewel predictions, and you could see Vaquer and Stratton as a team soon against Guilia and James.
