Cena made an attitude adjustment by trying to end the match early, but Styles was having none of it. The two men dug deep into their bags. Cena hit a Skull Crushing Finale, Styles hit a Torture Rack into a UFO Slam and later a Scorpion Death Drop. Cena even put Styles in a Camel Clutch and later in the Walls of Jericho.
Fittingly, chants of “Fight forever” erupted from the crowd as the veterans exhausted themselves in the ring.
No one had the upper hand and if they did, it didn’t last long.
Styles was trying to wrap things up. He went to the ropes for a phenomenal forearm. Cena countered and dragged Styles to the middle of the ring. He paid tribute to the late Bray Wyatt and performed his Sister Abigail move. Cena pinned Styles but the “Phenomenal One” kicked out at two.
Both men emptied what they had left in their tanks. No one in Australia, or perhaps the world, wanted this match to end.
Cena put Styles on the top rope in an apparent attempt at an avalanche attitude adjustment. Styles countered and threw him off. Styles tried to pressure Styles but Cena caught him.
Cena hit Styles with a Tombstone Piledriver then an Attitude Adjustment for the win.
“This is why we all fell in love with professional wrestling,” WWE broadcaster Michael Cole said.
Cena has four dates remaining on his retirement schedule, with the final match taking place in Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13 in Washington.
The men’s and women’s Crown Jewel Championships were crowned for the second time.
The weight of the world was on Seth Rollins’ shoulders as he walked to the ring. He didn’t have “The Oracle” Paul Heyman behind him, nor his compatriots from The Vision at his side. He said he had to beat Rhodes alone. Rollins has already entered the game setting the bar high, saying in recent weeks that the winner would help determine the company’s direction for the next few years.
Cody Rhodes entered the match with the advantage. He beat Rollins three times in a row and was looking for #4.

It was a main event sensation in the final match of the event. The tension between the two long-time rivals and their recurring enemies. At first, Rollins was already in his head. He attacked the fans, he put his hands on Michael Cole and he lost concentration for a few moments.
Frustration turned to aggression soon after. Rollins began to turn his attention to Rhodes’ back and shoulders – two things that have hampered “The American Nightmare” in the past.
That’s where the fight started. Both superstars played mind games and delivered some hard-hitting action.
A suicide dive from Rhodes to the outside with a Cody Cutter was met by Rollins with a Cross Rhodes and a Pedigree. Both were in the middle of a classic and both didn’t know how they were going to finish the other.
Rollins had to do something he rarely did: perform a high-risk aerial maneuver. He hung Rhodes upside down in the corner. He walked to the opposite corner and hit a coast-to-coast header. Rhodes avoided the pinfall and was kicked out at two. He wasn’t done there.
Rollins then jumped to Rhodes on the top rope with him. He then released a Spanish fly into a rocky bottom. Still, he couldn’t hold Rhodes back.
Rhodes performed his own aerial maneuver. He bent Rollins over the top rope, positioned him in the Cross Rhodes and nailed the massive move. A mere mortal would have remained on the ground. Rollins kicked out during the pinfall attempt.
Rollins had a dirty trick up his sleeve. He grabbed the Rolex watch Rhodes gave him after WrestleMania 40 and nailed him with it while Rhodes attempted another Cross Rhodes. Rollins hit The Stomp and a Super Stomp.
He pinned Rhodes for the win and ultimately got the victory.
The Crown Jewel Women’s Championship featured two rising stars in the division, Stephanie Vaquer and Tiffany Stratton.
Stratton, in arguably one of his best matches this year, matched Vaquer blow for blow from the start. She tried to attempt a swanton from the top rope, but was met with Vaquer’s knees to the back of her neck. Vaquer took over by hitting the Devil’s Kiss on Stratton.
Just when it looked like Stratton was going to perform the prettiest Moonsault ever on his opponent, Vaquer moved out of the way. The Chilean superstar landed a corkscrew 450 and took the incredible victory.
She received the Crown Jewel Championship and a ring from WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque in the middle of the ring.
“You deserve it!” Chants erupted from the crowd in Perth as she spoke to fans.

Vaquer is the second crown jewel champion. Liv Morgan won the inaugural championship last year.
Roman Reigns attempted to put his rivalry with The Vision in the rearview mirror during a match against Bronson Reed, but his relationship with Jey and Jimmy Uso appeared to have more cracks than initially thought. Although Reigns implored them to stay out of the Australian Street Fight, the iconic team would take to the ring to offer some support.
Reed received help from stablemate Bron Breakker, who threw everyone in his path, including Jimmy Uso through the barricade. Reed and Breakker moved Reigns to the announce table after it appeared that the “Original Tribe Leader” was on the offensive for most of the match.
Reed had Reigns on his shoulders as it looked like he was going to Jagged Edge through a table set up in the corner. Reigns escaped but was the target of an accidental spear from Jey Uso. Breakker pulled Reigns’ carcass from the remains of the table to help prepare Reed for the tsunami.
The Australian native Reed pinned Reigns and earned the victory.
Afterward, as Reigns shook off the cobwebs, he was shocked that his family members didn’t listen to him and ultimately cost him the match.
This was a huge win for Reed as he made a major statement about his position on the WWE roster in front of his fellow Australians.

Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky hoped to put their differences aside to defeat the Kabuki warriors of Asuka and Kairi Sane. Sky’s friendship with her former Damage Control bandmates has deteriorated in recent weeks as Sky’s relationship with Ripley has grown.
Sky started by taking it to Asuka in the ring and a suicide dive outside the ring. She seemed to be in control until she turned her back on Asuka to tend to Sane. Sky rolled off the ring post to the outside of the ring and the Kabuki Warriors began to regain the advantage.
The crowd was begging Ripley, the Australian native, to join the mix. She joined in and the crowd jumped.
Ripley’s offensive onslaught began. She put Asuka and Sane on her back. She contacted Sky again as she hit the razor’s edge on Sane. This allowed Sky to connect with a missile dropkick. But Sky was only able to get a two count on Sane.
Sane and Asuka regained the advantage for a few moments. Sane and Asuka worked together to eliminate Ripley on the outside. But they took their eyes off Sky, who nailed a springboard moonsault to get back in the match.
Near the end, Sane pushed Asuka out of the way of a big boot from Ripley. She then took a Riptide from Ripley, who tagged Sky for the finishing touch. Sky hit Over the Moonsault and ended the match with the pinfall.
