The Elimination Chamber event in Perth, Australia was a significant success for WWE, marking a pivotal moment on The Road to WrestleMania XL. It showcased two Chamber matches, with Australian star Rhea Ripley emerging victorious over Nia Jax in the headline bout, garnering high praise from Triple H.
WWE and UFC parent company TKO Group Holdings also shared their Q1 2024 Financial Results, highlighting a 58% increase in live event revenue to $50 million, citing a boost in site fees and ticket sales as key drivers. Notably, a substantial contribution to this revenue surge was attributed to a “meaningful payment” from the local government for hosting the Elimination Chamber in Perth, making it WWE’s largest PLE outside the Middle East.
Forthcoming Events And Plans
Looking ahead, TKO officials revealed exciting details about WrestleMania Vegas, set to take place at the Allegiant Stadium next year. Additionally, WWE is gearing up for its next Premium Live Event in Saudi Arabia, featuring the King and Queen of the Ring show at the Jeddah Super Dome on May 25.
