[AFDogs]

Got tickets to all 3 events. Just over 1k. Flying over from Melbourne with 4 mates. House booked for the week. Keen as mustard.

Anybody else going?

Obviously looking forward to Crown Jewel the most and hope they give us a better card than they did for Elimination Chamber last year.

Don't think we will get Brock vs Cena unfortunately but that would've been cool.

How much for flights and accom?

Flights around $600 and accom around $650.

We booked as soon as it was announced though.

Fair enough. Sounds about right. Was going to save cash for heading to Mania in a few years, but taking into account how borked the US is at the moment, might hold off.

Should be fun though, enjoy mate.

if the men's world champions stay the same: Seth vs Cody is a good choice

in theory, IYO and Rhea could team up to challenge the tag champions.

Heading over from Melbourne on the Thursday and back on the Tuesday

Have tickets to all 3 as well for about 1k

Never been to Perth, will be like travelling in a time machine I imagine.

I think with Brock Lesnars appearance dates in September it will be Brock vs Cena at Crown Jewel.

I dont think they will have Lesnar appear in September to draw out a match til end of November. I also think Naomi drops the title to Rhea with her injury and Rhea faces Tiffany. My prediction of the card is

Lesnar vs Cena
Rhodes vs Rollins
Rhea vs Tiffany Stratton
Wyatt Sicks vs Finn/JD
Dirty Dom vs AJ Styles
LA Knight vs Solo Sikoa

You think Brock Lesnar is going to return to the WWE, to then have to fly to Perth?

IKR, his arms would get tired!

I think so. Cena has no other opponent

 

[Senor M]

TKO isn't paying Lesnar $$$$ for a PLE airing at 8:00am on a Saturday morning for the US East coast; even earlier for Texas & California.

Cena Vs Lesnar will happen in the USA.

Based on current storylines, it’ll be Cena Vs McIntyre in Perth.

Fantastic. It would be a great experience biggest wrestling event in Australian history.

Depends how much money the W.A govt is paying moreso then the PLE airing time. With Netflix involved its not as important. I just dont get why Lesnar is appearing in September for a match in November. The timings dont match up

In saying that your idea is much better if it happens. McIntyre vs Cena shits all overs Cena vs Lesnar as a match. Cena vs Lesnar will be a 5 min snoozefest I feel

Netflix only has international PPV rights, not US PPV rights.

The main WWE audience is still in the USA.

According to TKO the Western Australia government paid $16 million for Elimination Chamber 2024— that was held at Optus.

Based on the venue choice, you’d have to say the WA state government paid less for Crown Jewel.

For a company that makes $500mil a year from Netflix, will make $400mil a year from ESPN for US ppv rights starting in 2026 and nearly $300 million a year from the USA network for Smackdown— the WA contribution is insignificant in comparison.

Cena/Lesnar would draw lapsed fans from the 2010’s back in—- it’ll be significantly more successful at doing that during US prime time than 8am on a Saturday morning.

Dream all you want, but its not happening

My dream is for Cena vs McIntyre to be honest. That will be a killer match

Then why are you going on about Cena/Lesnar, mate?

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Then why are you going on about Cena/Lesnar, mate?

I’m saying that’s what I think the card will be as opposed to what I want.

I can assure you also my dream card has Jacob Fatu on it that’s for sure

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Rumours are that it will not be a Champion vs Champion format. The WWE belts for this are in a Saudi Arabia museum and they don’t want to move them over and away from Saudi

That will open the card up a fair bit and drive away from Seth vs Cody atleast.

 

[PrancingPony]

With the rumours that there will be no Crown Jewel Championships this year, I'm glad if it means that we end up with actual storylines and title defences, I'd love to see Cena vs Lesnar but I don't think that's likely, I could see Cena facing either Mysterio or Styles for the Intercontinental Championship.

I think Ripley and Sky face Bliss and Flair for the Women's Tag Team Championships as they seem to be teasing a partnership with the former duo and a likely feud with The Kabuki Warriors.

Reed will be somewhere on the card, if not on the RAW after, I do think they should have saved Reed vs Reigns for Perth if they wanted another marquee match.

I could see Rhodes vs McIntyre too.

 

[AFDogs]

I'd be devastated if we got Cena vs Mysterio. Couldn't care less.

 

[BEEG]

Anyone tried get tickets today?

I'm trying but doesn't give me option of how many.

 

[PrancingPony]

Looks like Crown Jewel and RAW at least are sold out, possibly SmackDown too according to Punk.

Also pretty much confirms Punk will be coming to Perth.

 

[PrancingPony]

House show announced for Melbourne after they're done in Perth.
