With WWE now locked into Perth through 2028, Australia is set to become a regular stop on the company’s calendar once again. After the success of Elimination Chamber and Crown Jewel, the next question is which WWE Superstars will make the trip Down Under for Wrestlepalooza?
WWE Announces Landmark Three Year Partnership With Western Australia
WWE has confirmed a landmark three year partnership with the Western Australian Government that will see Perth host a WWE Weekend Takeover every year through 2028.
The deal will bring WWE’s biggest Superstars back to Perth as the company continues to expand its presence across Australia following several hugely successful events in the state.
The first WWE Weekend Takeover under the new agreement will take place later this year, with Perth set to host three major WWE events across four days.
RAC Arena will kick off the weekend with SmackDown on Friday, 11th December before Wrestlepalooza: Perth takes centre stage on Saturday, 12th December. The action will then return to RAC Arena on Monday, 14th December with Raw rounding out a huge weekend for WWE fans in Western Australia.
WWE won't have to wait long to get their hands on tickets with pre-sale will begining on Wednesday, 9th September at 10am AWST, with general sale following on Thursday, 10th September at 10am AWST.
The announcement continues WWE’s growing relationship with Australia after Elimination Chamber: Perth in 2024 and Crown Jewel: Perth in 2025 attracted tens of thousands of visitors from outside Western Australia.
The two events also generated more than $58 million for the state’s economy, highlighting the significant impact WWE has had on tourism and live entertainment in the region.
With the new partnership locked in through 2028, Perth is set to remain a major destination on WWE’s calendar for years to come.
