WWE is gearing up to host a spectacular stadium show in early 2024 in Australia.
It had been previously speculated that WWE would return to Australia in 2024 and now the company has revealed in a press release that the highly anticipated event, Elimination Chamber, will take place at Optus Stadium in Perth, Western Australia on February 24th. This will mark the company’s first major event in Australia since Super Showdown in 2018.
Elimination Chamber has been made possible through a partnership between the promotion and the Western Australian government, specifically through Tourism Western Australia. Optus Stadium, which serves as the home ground for Australian Football League teams, the Fremantle Football Club and the West Coast Eagles, boasts an impressive capacity of 61,000.
Fans eagerly awaiting this thrilling event can now register for an exclusive presale. Although a specific date for the general ticket sale has not yet been announced, Senior Vice President Chris Legentil assures fans that this information will be made available in due course. Legentil stated:
Perth is the perfect location for a major WWE premium live event in Australia, following a series of record-breaking WWE events in iconic international destinations. With a week full of WWE events and experiences, we hope to leave a lasting memory for Western Australia and the entire WWE Universe.
Rhea Ripley, the current Women’s World Champion and native Australian, also shared her enthusiasm for the upcoming event. She expressed her pride in representing her home country every time she steps into the ring and is thrilled to bring a premium live event to Perth. Ripley concluded by saying:
Get ready Australia, because Mami is coming home.
In a new update, Rhea Ripley has been announced as headlining the event by local news.
