WWE Provides Details On Upcoming Perth Return
While it was known that WWE would be returning to Perth in the near future (previously covered on PW Downunder here), we didn’t have much in the way of details. That changed today during the WrestleMania 41 Night 2 broadcast, as WWE aired an advertisement video adding some clarity to their return to Australia.
The events (yes, plural) will occur this October. The major selling point- John Cena’s final match in Australia. The nature of that match is yet to be announced- he is the current WWE Champion, but of course there is a fair amount of time between now and then. We also don’t know the name of the PLE coming, but what we do know: Perth will play host to an episode of Smackdown before it, and a Raw after it- for the first time ever in Australia. All three events will take place at Perth’s RAC Arena, a venue that has played host to several UFC events under the TKO banner.
As of now, WWE is referring to the series of events as WWE Takeover Perth. More details will be revealed in the coming weeks and months. You can watch the hype video below:
A man who loves his wrestling, MMA, and has been known to dabble in karaoke. Previously wrote for Snap Mayors Media and ran The Arena Media for several years. As many wrestling fans do, he often envisioned becoming a pro wrestling superstar, but having Cerebral Palsy makes that dream a tough one to attain. Did do a brief referee spot for Rock N Roll Wrestling and he’d love to do more non-wrestler roles if laying the Smackdown is out of his reach, but until then, he’ll be hitting you with some refreshing writing like an F5!
