Perth has gone full on WWE as Superstars are in the city
enjoying the sights and sounds before the action kicks off
tomorrow night with Smackdown.
WWE returned to Perth following a successful Elimination
Chamber in 2024 which generated $36.2 million in economy for
the state. The Cook Government through Tourism WA was
instrumental in bringing WWE back to the city.
“The city is alive and buzzing as Perth prepares for a WWE
festival, with Friday Night SmackDown, Crown Jewel: Perth,
and Monday Night RAW highlighting our wonderful city to the
rest of the world,” said Tourism Minister Reece Whitby. “WWE
superstars will be seen all across Perth over the next few
days showcasing our State ahead of 17-time world champion
John Cena’s final Australian appearance.”
Whitby also added that a top priority for the Cook
Government is to diversify the State’s economy by growing
their tourism sector and attracting major events helps drive
more visitors to the State.
“This premium trio of events is set to supercharge Perth’s
tourism and hospitality businesses, with thousands of people
travelling to WA to be part of the action,” he added.
Sport and Recreation Minister Rita Saffioti said that Perth
will be the best place in the world to be a WWE superfan
this weekend when wrestling royalty take over their city.
“RAC Arena will once again be at the centre of the action,
showcasing the venue’s status as a world-class destination
for sport and entertainment when the events are streamed
live to hundreds of millions of fans across the globe,” she
continued.
