On Saturday, February 24, 2024, Perth, Western Australia, will host a big wrestling event by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It is a special occasion because it is the first time they are holding a globally televised Premium Live Event at Optus Stadium, making Western Australia the center of the wrestling world for that day.
Many people from Western Australia and outside the state will likely come to Optus Stadium. They want to watch the famous WWE superstars in action at a special live event. What is exciting is that this event will be shown on TV to nearly a billion households worldwide.
Before the big WWE event in Perth, the WWE Superstars will have a chance to interact with fans in various ways. They will make appearances and take part in community activities to celebrate with the local people in the days leading up to the event.
What is exciting about the big WWE event?
This event will mark the first WWE Premium Live Event in Western Australia, and it is only the second time they have organized a televised Premium Live Event in all of Australia. What is special is that this exclusive show in Perth will be the only WWE Premium Live Event in Australia or the Asia-Pacific region next year.
It is all part of the Cook Government’s plan to make Western Australia the top destination for events in the South East region, with rapid growth in mind.
Many fans from outside Western Australia are anticipated to come to Perth to see their beloved WWE superstars in person. This will likely bring in millions of dollars from these visitors, significantly boosting local hospitality, accommodation, and tourism businesses.
When WWE comes to Perth, it is like putting Western Australia on a big global platform. The WWE superstars will share their Perth adventures with their massive social media following of over one billion people.
The event will also be shown live to WWE’s vast audience, which reaches 180 countries and is broadcast in over 25 languages, reaching more than one billion households worldwide.
Announcements on the WWE event
On Thursday afternoon, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, part of the New Day wrestling group and Big E, teamed up with Premier Roger Cook and Tourism Rita Saffioti to share this important news.
Premier Roger Cook mentioned that these tickets will be the “hottest tickets,” and fans can reserve their seats in advance starting today.
Cook said they anticipate that the premium live event at Optus Stadium will be completely sold out, drawing thousands of fans from the eastern states and around the world to Perth, Western Australia, for this unique show.
He also noted that WWE has an enormous social media following of over one billion, and the event aims to bring in 15,000 to 20,000 fans from other parts of Australia and abroad. In February, UFC 284 in Perth was a huge hit, with 9,000 out of the 14,000 attendees coming from outside Western Australia.
Woods mentioned that the Elimination Chamber is a major WWE event in the lead-up to WrestleMania, scheduled for April in Philadelphia. He likened it to the wrestling equivalent of the Super Bowl, emphasizing its significance in the WWE calendar.
Kingston mentions that the Elimination Chamber has the power to significantly alter the course of things in the WWE, and it is a very intense and brutal match.
It happens inside a ring surrounded by a steel cage, somewhat like the Thunderdome in the third Mad Max movie, but it is important to note that it is not a fight where someone has to die.
