Major Roman Reigns Match Reportedly Planned For WWE Crown Jewel In Australia

Meltzer reported ahead of Raw that Reigns vs. Reed is set to be the "final match" for the Perth show, according to an internal WWE listing. It is not clear if that means it is the main event, or simply the final match added to the program.

Reigns defeated Reed at WWE Clash in Paris in August, but was taken out in brutal fashion afterwards, writing him off of TV for the entire month of September.

Reigns' Light 2025

For WWE standards, it has been a light 2025 for the "Original Tribal Chief."

The former Undisputed WWE Champion has only wrestled five matches so far in 2025, most notably, headlining WrestleMania Saturday against Rollins and CM Punk in a triple-threat match.

Of late, Reigns has been away from WWE filming his role in the upcoming Street Fighter film. In it, Reigns plays Akuma, while Cody Rhodes will portray Guile in the movie as well.

Of note, Reigns did not make this year's PWI 500 list due to the amount of singles matches he wrestled during the eligibility period. With the upcoming Reed match included, Reigns will have wrestled a total of 12 matches dating back to the beginning of 2024, as he begins to make a more permanent move into ventures outside of WWE.

Reigns is set to kick off this upcoming edition of Raw, so it is likely the match will be announced sooner rather than later. It is not yet known whether or not it will be a stipulation match, or a singles match. His expected opponent Reed is from Adelaide, Australia, a three-hour plane ride from Perth.
