According to The West Australian newspaper, WWE is set to return to Perth, Australia, for multiple events in 2025.
This follows the success of the 2024 WWE Elimination Chamber premium live event, which was held at Optus Stadium.
The article stated the following:
“Western Australia will become the home of UFC and WWE in Australia after their owner TKO Group Holdings inked a quiet deal with the WA Government before it entered caretaker mode.
The new contract is for five events in the next 18 months and has been kept secret until now. It was signed before State election writs were issued on February 5, putting provisions into effect that would bar the Government from entering a new multimillion-dollar deal.
Under the previous agreement, RAC Arena will host a UFC Fight Night later this year, but it will now also host an extra four events.
As part of the deal, RAC Arena will also be the venue for a bumper weekend of WWE action later this year with three nights of wrestling including a Friday night Smackdown, a premium live event and a Monday night Raw in prime time.”
Confirmed @WWE is headed back to Perth, Western Australia later this year.
