World Wrestling Entertainment has added Wrestlepalooza: Perth to its 2026 premium live event calendar, signaling the company’s return to Australia with an extended commitment. The flagship event is scheduled for December 12, 2026, at the RAC Center in Perth, and represents the beginning of a multi-year partnership between WWE and the Western Australian Government through Tourism Western Australia that extends through 2028.
The Perth engagement will feature WWE Weekend Takeovers annually throughout the agreement period. The December event weekend will include “Friday Night SmackDown” on December 11 and “Monday Night Raw” on December 14, bookending the main premium live event.
Perth’s selection as a destination reflects its recent history hosting major WWE programming. The Australian city hosted Crown Jewel in October, which featured John Cena’s farewell match against A.J. Styles, Stephanie Vaquer’s Women’s Crown Jewel Championship victory over Tiffany Stratton, and Seth Rollins defeating Cody Rhodes for the Men’s title. Styles would subsequently retire from professional wrestling.
The venue previously hosted Elimination Chamber in 2024, during which Rhea Ripley defended the Women’s World Championship. WWE plans to enhance the Wrestlepalooza experience with fan experiences including superstores and meet-and-greet opportunities. Combo ticket sales begin September 10.
