New WWE Premium Live Event Announced

WWE

WWE has officially confirmed a new premium live event for the company’s return to Australia later this year.

In recent weeks, WWE began advertising ‘WWE TakeOver Perth’, with an episode of Raw, an episode of SmackDown, and a then-unnamed PLE taking place in the region in October.

Now, more specifics have been revealed.

WWE has announced that the Crown Jewel Perth PLE will take place on Saturday, October 11.

This is the first time Crown Jewel is being held outside of Saudi Arabia, with the 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 editions all having taken place in Riyadh, and 2020 being skipped due to Covid.

In addition to Crown Jewel Perth, the Friday, October 10 and Monday, October 13 editions of SmackDown and Raw will also be held at RAC Arena in Perth.

The previous WWE TakeOver Perth advertisements have also noted that these shows will play host to John Cena’s final match in Australia as part of his farewell tour this year.

WWE last visited Perth for Elimination Chamber in February 2024, a show headlined by home country hero Rhea Ripley. October 11, the date of Crown Jewel Perth 2025, is Ripley’s birthday.

Ripley has traveled to Perth with fellow Aussie Grayson Waller as part of the announcement.
