WWE Crown Jewel Perth Made Official

WWE have announced their return to Australia, with Crown Jewel Perth, Raw, and SmackDown set for October 10 to October 13.

All three events are set to take place in Perth’s RAC Arena, with SmackDown set for October 10, Crown Jewel October 11, and Raw October 13. This will mark the first Crown Jewel event held outside of Saudi Arabia.

A press release from the Government of Western Australia press office stated that the three shows will be the only WWE events to broadcast from Australia, New Zealand, or South-East Asia in 2025.

The press release also stated that John Cena will be part of the tour, and also indicated that the Crown Jewel championships will return.

Comments attributed to Tourism Minister Reece Whitby stated:

"We're thrilled to confirm that WWE's return to Perth this October will be led by Crown Jewel: Perth, featuring WWE Champion and global superstar John Cena.

"The long weekend of WWE entertainment, with a Friday Night Smackdown, Crown Jewel: Perth, and Monday Night RAW, promises an action-packed line up that can't be seen anywhere else in Australia, New Zealand, or South-East Asia this year.

"We're confident this blockbuster line up of events will generate millions of dollars for the local economy as thousands of out-of-state fans travel to WA to witness the full suite of WWE premium content - and the last chance to see John Cena perform live in Australia.

"This event is part of our Government's strategy to diversify Western Australia's economy by growing the State's tourism sector, bringing more major events to WA and boosting our night-time economy."

Comments attributed to Sport and Recreation Minister Rita Saffioti:

"Hosting Crown Jewel: Perth as part of three huge days of wrestling this October is a massive win for WA, particularly after the success of last year's WWE Elimination Chamber: Perth.

"The incredible standard of RAC Arena and all our world-class venues means that we can host these global sports and entertainment events throughout the year.

"I can't wait to see RAC Arena packed with visiting and local WWE fans this October, bringing an energy that is sure to be electrifying when John Cena and other WWE stars take to the ring at this Australian-exclusive event."

These events will mark WWE’s first shows in Australia since Elimination Chamber in February 2024 - which also took place in Perth.
