A report from The West Australian states that WWE is “just days away” from announcing an event at Optus Stadium in Perth, Western Australia in early 2024.
The publication notes that such a show could take place before the start of the AFL season in early March, putting it ahead of WrestleMania 40 the following month, with this event looking to stream live around the world.
Dave Meltzer previously reported in March about negotiations between WWE and the local government:
“The state government of Western Australia is negotiating with WWE to run a major stadium show. This would be similar to when the city of Melbourne made a deal with WWE twice to run stadium shows, one of which was a PPV show.
The likely city would be Perth, which recently hosted a UFC show and many of the UFC shows outside the U.S. are basically local governments bringing in UFC for tourism or other reasons.”
WWE previously held a pay-per-view in Australia in 2018, with the Super Showdown from Melbourne headlined by a match between Triple H and The Undertaker.
As noted by PWInsider, the stadium opened in 2018 with a capacity of 61,266.
