Major International WWE event expected to generate millions for local economy

Major WWE event is expected to bring in a significant boost to Western Australia's economy.

It was earlier announced that the promotion would be heading to Australia in 2024 for one of its Premium Live Events, Elimination Chamber, which is set to take place at the Optus Stadium in Perth.

Tourism Council of WA CEO Evan Hall has now declared that the event is expected to generate $33 million for Western Australia's economy. Hall also said that the country was becoming a major destination for top international events.

“This is game-changing territory. The size and scale of the events that we are bringing in: the fact that they are Australian exclusive events, we are becoming a major events destination. The WWE, only in Perth can you see that. There is nowhere else you can see it in 2024, in the Asia-Pacific region." [ The West Australian ]

Elimination Chamber next year is set to take place on February 24, 2024. This will be the company's first show-down in Australia since 2018.
