The ever-raucous Australian audience will now get to experience yet another WWE premium live event, shortly. About a year after WWE hosted a stadium show in the country after a gap of almost six years, a new deal has been cracked, resulting in multiple shows in the near future.
The local government of Western Australia has reportedly been under a new deal with TKO to host multiple WWE and UFC shows in Perth. The news was revealed by The Western Australian, last night as it was further asserted that the deal is for five events including a WWE premium live event over the next 18 months.

TKO and the local government already had a deal for a UFC Fight Night event in Perth for later this year but the event spree will continue with four more shows – a WWE premium live event, this year, preceded by SmackDown on Friday and Raw on Monday while the fourth event is a UFC pay-per-view in 2026. All these shows will go down at the RAC Arena in Perth.
“It was signed before the State election writs were issued on February 5, putting provisions into effect that would bar the Government from entering a new multi-million dollar deal,” the source wrote about a WWE premium live event and more coming to Australia, “The price tag is being kept under wraps but the State Budget includes $37 million to lure major events to WA.”
