Perth is about to become a recurring stop on the global WWE calendar, with a new three-year agreement bringing three WWE Weekend Takeovers to Western Australia between 2026 and 2028. The first arrives in December 2026, with Friday Night SmackDown on December 11, Wrestlepalooza: Perth on December 12 and Monday Night Raw on December 14 at RAC Arena. The surrounding festivities will extend beyond the arena with a WWE Superstore, fan meet-and-greets and community events, turning the weekend into a citywide experience for visiting fans.

For Western Australia, the deal adds another major international event to Perth’s growing calendar while giving travelers a reason to build a trip around the spectacle. The combination of headline entertainment and destination experiences makes this more than a single night at an arena, particularly for fans traveling internationally to experience WWE in Australia.

The Curated Take:
Major sporting and entertainment events can fundamentally change how travelers experience a city, and Perth is increasingly giving visitors reasons to plan around the calendar rather than simply the destination. For WWE fans, three consecutive days of programming offer an unusually easy excuse to turn a live event into a Western Australian getaway.
