WWE fans can now secure their tickets to December's WWE Weekend Takeover in Perth, with all three blockbuster events at RAC Arena now on sale.
The 2026 WWE Weekend Takeover marks the first instalment of the Cook Labor Government's new threeyear agreement with WWE, which will see Perth host a Weekend Takeover every year from 2026 to 2028.
This year's program will bring three nights of worldclass entertainment to RAC Arena, featuring Friday Night SmackDown on 11 December, Wrestlepalooza: Perth on 12 December, and Raw on 14 December.
Some of WWE's biggest names are set to head to WA for the spectacular, including Undisputed WWE Champion CM Punk, "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, Women's World Champion Liv Morgan, Randy Orton, Trick Williams, Kevin Owens, Seth "Freakin" Rollins, Becky Lynch, LA Knight, World Tag Team Champions The Vision, and many more.
Three event combo-tickets will be available from 10am AWST, Thursday 10 September, with registered fans already able to access tickets through the pre-sale.
The event festivities will be complemented by a WWE merchandise superstore, fan meet-and-greet opportunities and community events, helping drive activity across the Perth CBD and enhancing the visitor and fan experience.
WWE events have proven to be hugely successful in Perth, with the 2024 Elimination Chamber: Perthat Optus Stadium attracting more than 18,000 out-of-State visitors, while the 2025 WWE Weekend Takeover featuring Crown Jewel: Perth saw more than 12,500 out-of-State attendees.
Collectively, Perth's WWE events have generated millions of dollars for the WA economy to date, supporting local jobs in the tourism, hospitality and retail sectors through an influx of out-of-State visitors.
Investing in major events is a key pillar of the Cook Labor Government's economic diversification strategy, boosting the State economy and supporting local jobs and businesses.
