Details regarding the 2025 WWE Crown Jewel: Perth PLE
WWE announced its return to Perth, Australia for a three-night event series in October 2025. SmackDown will take place on October 10th, Crown Jewel on October 11th, and RAW on October 13th. All three events will be held at the RAC Arena.
The event is part of an expanded partnership between TKO Group Holdings and the Western Australian Government, which will also bring four additional UFC and WWE events to Perth through 2026. This follows the success of WWE’s Elimination Chamber: Perth in February 2024 which drew over 52,000 fans to Perth Stadium.
Crown Jewel, traditionally held in Saudi Arabia, will be hosted outside the region for the first time.

While speaking to The Project, Grayson Waller confirmed that John Cena will be at Crown Jewel…
“This is John Cena’s last appearance in Australia, and that’s a crazy thing. John Cena is obviously the GOAT, he’s a legend of this industry, but he has to remember, he’s coming to Australia. This is my house, I run this place, if he wants to come here, he’ll have to go through me. That retirement tour is supposed to finish in December, maybe it finishes in October because if he comes anywhere near me in my country, I’m putting him out to pasture.” (quote courtesy of WrestleTalk.com)
