May 2, 2025 — WWE has officially confirmed its return to Australia this October, teaming up with the Western Australian Government through Tourism Western Australia to present Crown Jewel: Perth. The event will be the centerpiece of a full weekend of WWE action taking place at Perth’s RAC Arena.
Crown Jewel: Perth is scheduled for Saturday, October 11, 2025. In addition, the arena will host Friday Night SmackDown on October 10 and Monday Night Raw on October 13, bringing three major WWE shows to one city in an action-packed weekend.
As previously announced during WrestleMania 41, Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena will travel to Perth for what will be his final in-ring appearance in Australia, part of his global Farewell Tour in 2025.
The Crown Jewel: Perth event promises high-stakes matchups, including Champion vs. Champion bouts in both the men’s and women’s divisions. Last year’s Crown Jewel event saw Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan claim victory and make history as the inaugural champions of the event.
WWE’s return to Australia follows the overwhelming success of Elimination Chamber: Perth at Optus Stadium in February 2024, which became the highest-attended and most-watched edition of that event in WWE history.
All three events—Crown Jewel: Perth, Friday Night SmackDown, and Monday Night Raw—will be broadcast live in Australia and internationally on Netflix. In the United States, Crown Jewel: Perth will be available for streaming on Peacock, while SmackDown will air on USA Network.
Further details, including general ticket sales and schedule updates, will be released in the coming weeks.
Exclusive VIP packages will also be available soon through WWE’s official hospitality partner, offering fans access to premium seating, backstage experiences, Superstar meet-and-greets, and more. Travel packages for fans planning to attend from other regions will be offered by official partners, with early access available through deposit registration.
