Perth Hosts Multiple Major TKO Events, Including WWE

Perth, Australia is set to host a series of major WWE and UFC events following a newly finalized agreement between TKO Group Holdings and the Western Australian government. The deal includes a 'tripleheader' featuring WWE Raw, SmackDown, and a premium live event, alongside two UFC events, all to be held at the RAC Arena over the next 18 months. The WWE shows are expected later this year, marking the company's return to Australia after their last major event, Elimination Chamber, in February 2024. While the dates for the upcoming events have not yet been announced, the arrangement was hinted at during TKO's recent earnings call. The partnership is part of TKO's broader strategy to expand its international presence in the sports entertainment market. This initiative positions Perth as a key destination for wrestling and MMA fans alike.
