@Nath i think a lot of people even turned up to watch the plane with them on board come into land yesterday.

In an Australian-exclusive coup, Perth will host a back-to-back weekend of three iconic WWE events, kicking off with Friday Night SmackDown before excitement peaks on Saturday with the headline event, Crown Jewel: Perth, and closing out with Monday Night RAW.

Additional WWE activations and fan events will take place in Perth, including:

a free kick-off event open to the public at Forrest Place in the CBD on Friday, 10 October at 5pm, featuring appearances from WWE superstars including Bronson Reed, Grayson Waller, Rhea Ripley, Seth Rollins and many more;

a WWE pop-up superstore offering exclusive merchandise will run from Thursday, 9 October to Monday, 13 October in Murray Street Mall;

a one-kilometre custom lighting trail will guide fans from the merchandise superstore through Yagan Square to RAC Arena, featuring special effects and interactive screens showing AI-powered WWE superstars; and

the pop-up Netflix Sports Club at the Northbridge Brewing Company on Saturday and Sunday, where fans can enjoy a tailgate-style party with interactive activities and an onsite barber offering WWE-inspired styles.

First you got the UFC twice in a row? and now WWE as well

Attracting WWE to Perth is part of the Cook Government's economic diversification strategy to host a year-round calendar of events, draw out-of-state visitors and generating valuable tourism dollars for local businesses and jobs.

Ah this makes sense now
