WWE today announced its return to Perth, Australia for the Wrestlepalooza 2026 premium live event taking place on December 12.

There’s still a good few months before it comes around, but let’s look ahead to WWE’s return Down Under and the matches that could take place there.

Here is our current predicted card for WWE Wrestlepalooza 2026 in Perth.

CM Punk vs. Grayson Waller

Ever since CM Punk returned to WWE in 2023, Grayson Waller has been someone very clearly targeting a match with him, and it seems like it’s closer than ever right now.

CM Punk appeared at a recent NXT live event, and one of the headlines coming out of it was a backstage confrontation he had with Waller that WWE shared on social media.

Despite Waller’s recent move to NXT, he’s very likely to be involved at Wrestlepalooza in his home country of Australia.

Coming out of Heatwave this weekend or the next few months leading up to Wrestlepalooza, this match could even end up being Undisputed WWE Champion vs NXT Champion.

Stephanie Vaquer vs. Becky Lynch vs. IYO SKY

Stephanie Vaquer and Becky Lynch both made their returns to WWE Raw a few weeks ago and are immediately involved in the Women’s World Championship picture with Liv Morgan.

It seems inevitable that one of them will win the title from Morgan pretty soon.

IYO SKY has seemingly been moved out of the world title picture for now, but let’s hope it’s not long before she’s back there, which could set up a three-way between three of the most popular and best in-ring women on the roster.

Bronson Reed vs. Oba Femi

Another Australian name very likely to be involved at WWE Wrestlepalooza assuming he’s back from injury is Bronson Reed.

Next weekend at Sunday Night’s Main Event, Oba Femi faces Bron Breakker in a match between two of WWE’s top future main event stars.

This could end up being where Reed makes his return as a way to give WWE an out of having a decisive winner and loser between Femi and Breakker.

While Wrestlepalooza is a good three months after Sunday Night’s Main Event, so perhaps that’s too long of a wait, Reed could get a big time one-on-one match against Femi in his home country coming out of it.

Rhea Ripley vs. Chelsea Green

Chelsea Green was crowned the Interim WWE Women’s Champion at SummerSlam due to Rhea Ripley being out with an injury.

Providing she’s back in action in time, Ripley is a surefire bet to be part of the card for Wrestlepalooza in her home country of Australia.

This could be where the deciding match between lineal champion and interim champion takes place to decide the ‘true’ WWE Women’s Champion going forward between Ripley and Green – or someone else if Green loses the interim title before then.

Roman Reigns vs. Royce Keys

This week’s episode of WWE Raw saw the start of a big push for Royce Keys as the leader of a new trio with NXT stars Bronco Nima and Lucien Price.

Keys and OTM ambushed both The Usos and Solo Sikoa & LA Knight during their tag team main event.

This likely sets Keys on a path towards The Usos’ leader in The Bloodline, World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns, which could make for his first real breakthrough main event moment in WWE.
