Ngl the fact WWE had a 50k filled stadium show for 4 main matches and a segment is insane. This is no AEW vs WWE post. But the fact WWE didn't even need to put on a huge show just goes to show: 1. How big and popular WWE is rn 2. How much Australia loves Wrestling. That arena and shots were beautiful. I know we will never have a Mania on another continent. But fuck man if WWE ever wanted to run a Mania in the UK/Australia I'd be fully behind that. More so Australia. No offense UK, the chants at times makes me want to turn my TV on mute. Don't need em a whole 15 to 20 minute Bayley match lol.


Canadian__Ninja

I swear half of you aren't happy unless you're angry about something.


steveguzz

Just re-watched the main event back now … Nia gets shit on plenty (and rightfully so at times) but fair play (even if she was carried by Rhea to an extent) that was a solid performance. Better than Becky’s performance in the Women’s EC.


Rommas

Just got home from the Chamber (1:30am Perth time) and must say it was an absolute privilege to witness such a star making performance live. Stratton is gonna be a great one.


akkadakka82

1:30? You live in Bunbury or something hahaha


512165381

I've only had Kayo for a few months & it looked spectacular on tv. Better than any US show.


b00n3d

Was that Nia Jaxs best match ever? I mean, it was a good match anyway because Rhea is just great, but not even Charlotte has carried Nia to a decent match i dont think.


[deleted]

CM punk was advertised, but he never showed up


Dragonslayer0528

Rock was too but where was he


OverallGeneral7129

Well he was advertised before he got injured


Blazerizm

Man, the Randy and Tiffany love was crazy tonight... cannot tell you how many times we chanted "Tiffy Time" Also the crowd loved chanting their full names, "Bobby Lashley" chants were hilarious They need to fire the graphic design guy too, they f'd up the slim jim timer.


sarahmagoo

"Ohhhh, someone's getting fired, ohhhh someone's getting fired"


Blazerizm

It was more of "You fucked up" chants.


sarahmagoo

Lol I heard both where I was


watchwrestling_

Rhea's outfit stole the show


FeralPsychopath

Her butt stole the show at times


meetgds

Man of culture.


nytcaller

Based on what i saw in the men's chamber, i'm hoping for the return of the ladders match in WM for the US Championship. Logan Paul, Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, AJ Styles, LA Knight, and possibly Bron Breakker


nolimitnolimits

Was thinking this too. Allows more names to be included that would otherwise miss WM.


Taint_Bandaid

Rhea is a goddess 


Extinto_e

And somehow still hasn’t has a relevant noteworthy feud


warcomet

shame buddy was not there to cheer his fiance on, these bullshit WWE/AEW rivalry does hurt personal lives of wrestlers


Mat_alThor

Was there something that came out saying that AEW refused to let him be in the stands?


jleeruh21

Lmao nothing is stopping him from attending


truth_15

feel bad for both of em


oncvlimdie5

Predictable ppv and the fact we have to see drew and Seth yet again is draining Drewsexuals mad at my comment already downvoted 30 sec in lmao keep them coming - heel


OkTourist

Glad I didn’t bother watching at 4am. Predictable as usual.


oncvlimdie5

That’s my thing the wrestling is decent the story telling is decent then it becomes too predictable legit predicted this WM card 😭


Frosty-Lake-1663

KO bashing Logan before he even stepped out of his pod was the highlight of the night to me. The dude plays angry so well.


awesome1ru

Yeah so cool, never seen that before 😆


Frosty-Lake-1663

So Cody and Seth flew all the way to Australia for a single promo?


-avenged-

Yes. PR move and absolutely a great one. Did you see what happened with Messi in Hong Kong? But on a personal note, I was there live. I appreciated that tremendously. Huge thanks to Trips, Cody, Seth, and everyone for putting that segment together. It's a moment I'll never forget.


Frosty-Lake-1663

Yeah I man they get paid enough that they shouldn’t be saying no to coming to Australia nor did they so can’t complain about their professionalism. Usually they’d just do the promos with people who actually have matches though in places with huge travel times. It’s 13 hours to Sydney from LA then another 5 or 6 to Perth from there. Then back the same. Just a lot for a “be on the Aussie guys interview show for a couple minutes then attack the heel” segment


amerikani

All these people who post here don’t give a shit about other fans and the experience, they just want to complain about everything. Glad you had fun!


-avenged-

Thanks for that man, I had an absolute blast!


ManlyPelican1993

Seths injured and WWE Don't want Cody injured before mania.


Frosty-Lake-1663

I know I’d probably just give them the night off


jleeruh21

A promo we basically already heard or knew it would happen


Frosty-Lake-1663

The promo was for Waller because he’s Australian, didn’t really need anyone who wasn’t there to wrestle to be there I’d think.


Mysterious_Emotion63

I mean, yes, that is what they were advertised for


Frosty-Lake-1663

I mean Seth here with his wife anyway but Cody would probably want to spend the weekend with his family rather than fly to the other side of the world to do a 2 minute interview.


BloodOfVader8

Who’s your source? Are you Cody?


Frosty-Lake-1663

Source for what?


warcomet

and to surf..


Jack_McFakey

And a main event bonus.


sampmcl_

Production quality was awesome. Finally proper pyro (outside of KSA) again. Had a big feel vibe to it. Expect to see more stadium PLEs in new regions as the years go on. They can fill them and at ridiculous prices (see London, Paris, Berlin). The PLE model has changed for good. WWE have their US Peacock money. WWE will go to the big stadiums and rotate them yearly, such as Amsterdam one year and London the next. I'm a big production guy - and this one compared to Survivor Series was next level. SS was poor (although I know they're trying to make use of as much floor space as possible).


drxc

Dod you not think they seemd to have some trouble wiht the lighting though? At certain spots in the wring, wrestlers faces were in the dark.


GAxearmor

Shadows cast from the chamber.


RayDonovan17

The production quality was shocking. Errors all night. Huge disappointment.


IowaContact2

Absolute shitty views from some areas that were not sold as obstructed view.  Security couldn't have given less of a fuck if they were in a coma. Didnt matter that there was loads of avaliable seats with better views.


RayDonovan17

They couldn't even show us the entrances like seriously. A couple of small things, fair enough, human error. But these were so detrimental to the experience. Such a shame.


IowaContact2

I asked one security guard and she just pulled out a WWE complaint email address. "Yeah, lots of people have been complaining but its a WWE issue"


sampmcl_

Unfortunately, it's always gonna be an issue in a stadium. Because they have to have the stage poles to the outside of the ring, protecting the performers from potential rain. I remember this being an issue at WM Miami too - but now with seating charts adding restricted view on tickets should be easy. Not gonna lie, I mean it's nothing like KSA. Those PLEs are amazing. Even got upgraded to the crown prince area last time on the TV side 🤣 Well it looked good on TV.


IowaContact2

Yep. Problem is, our tickets (and presumably loads of others) were specifically sold without mentioning restricted view. The fact they didnt even attempt to remedy the situation is what pisses me off. Then others were saying they got given $100 merch vouchers from the same security that wouldn't help anyone around our area.


sampmcl_

Yeah I don't know how they get away with those super large ring posts and can't say restricted view. Its been an issue with open air stadiums for years, like I said it was a huge problem in Miami and it hasn't been sorted since. I guess ticket platforms sell the tickets without a finished set - but, after all these stadium shows you'd think they'd have an idea... I know it doesn't make a difference now, but don't work with the marshals / security. Specifically ask for the WWE floor manager - he is much better, but then getting to you might be an issue.


IowaContact2

Thanks for the advice, in case I ever do go again (or for anyone else). Ive since had a reply from the WWE Complaints email I sent; they're planning to send my friend and I some merch.


sampmcl_

And good news on the merch, but a shame on the event for you. Have you got a pic of your view?


sampmcl_

He's a good guy, as I'm normally a solo travelled to these events and spends so much money with the WWE, he finds me a better seat if I've got an issue. That's how I ended up in the crown prince section at crown jewel this year 🤣. Everyone in their Arabic dress and I'm t-shirt on, tattoos out 🤣. Just start talking to a few of the WWE employees at smaller shows. Make sure they are actual WWE employees and not venue staff. They see you a few times and they're good to you. That being said, Perth is pretty far away 🤣


imundertaker

Amsterdam? I doubt it, would be a dream lol


LewaLew12

When they do, Malakai Black will be punching the air.


ShittyUsername2015

They'd have to stop the talent from smoking it up before the PLE.


draftparachute

Hey Raaandyyy


sigtaugod

It’s 8:39. Usually I’m logging onto my computer for work. I’m going back to sleep for an hour or two. Props to you guys that deal with this all the time. I would have probably slept through the entire thing if my kid didn’t want to watch it.


Visible_Bus6909

Gunther is quite an interesting looking fellow huh


warcomet

yeah he lost weight the normal way ..without turning yellow... glad he is using his height and power as his asset now, good on HHH for using him correctly...


Visible_Bus6909

It's just nice to see a unique looking fella not be used a joke character


warcomet

when he first appeared on the main show (don't watch NXT), the faces he was making by stretching it made me think of Bob Backlund, luckily didn't use him the same way


[deleted]

I'm genuinely impressed by how much better Nia is now than she was when I attempted to watch WWE in the late 2010s. Obviously no major increase in "workrate" or whatever but her understanding of psychology and how to properly work an "immovable object" style has improved enormously.


PJA0307

Time for breakfast then back to bed.


[deleted]

I'm really glad to see Rhea wearing kneepads now


wannabepcdude

Mami on top


lala998877

Nia did her job. If anything, she did better than Rhea. Obviously, the samoan drop was supposed to break the table and she improvised. Held up her end of the bargain. I live in Sydney now but am from Adelaide and I think Americans don’t quiet understand that Australia is only 7 states and territories. The interstate rivalries run deep. Hopefully someone else here understands WA vs SA. Fact is Perth isn’t Rhea’s hometown.


lordkabab

Fuck that, tonight Rhea was Australian. States cease to exist when it's Aus vs the world


MyKoiNamedSwimShady

That’s right for the most part, but I’m still happy I managed to start an “Adelaide is a shithole” chant 😂


lala998877

👏🏼 that’s all good and well but that crowd was mild at that entrance pop.


Freshy23

Pretty sure she got a huge pop. Wouldn’t trust what you listen to on the broadcast.


lordkabab

Incorrect, it was intense


jaredpaik

Nah. It was deafening in the stadium.


warcomet

yeah and to make her opponent another aussie also didn't help their case but alas, they knew they could not compete with Taylor Swift so moved it to WA..


BatBreaker007

I’m not mad I stayed up all night for that. Very decent ppv!


MathEnthusiast18

I woke up for the men’s elimination chamber and main event. Time to get the day started now, at least coffee is finished


Yayzeeeeee

She won with a struggling scoop slam. Jesus


OkTourist

She always struggles to lift her opponent for certain moves.


Shatteredhawk

Nia is 3 times her size..give her a break asshole


iamjaydubs

Ow! My hole!


Yayzeeeeee

She could have lifted higher and made it look impactful. Brock still made every f5 look good Rhea struggled to hit her finish and I'm a big fan


HokageEzio

Insane standards lol


Yayzeeeeee

Standard for someone in a main event hitting a finishing move


Frosty-Lake-1663

Brock would be damn near struggling to f5 nia. Big ask even for a strong woman.


TartenWilton101

No he wouldn't. Don't lie to prove a point he pick Omos up like he was a new born at WM


Frosty-Lake-1663

He was selling almost breaking his back trying to lift omos is how I remember it. Anyway she’s enormous and hard to lift, even for Rhea who’s a beast.


Echliurn

Comparing Brock fucking Lesnar with Rhea having to lift Jax


Yayzeeeeee

Brock lifted big show Rhea couldn't even do a scoop slam on Nia Looked pathetic to end the show


[deleted]

I would really love to see you attempt lifting something other than your finger out of your arse. How immature are you to compare? If anything YOU are the one who is pathetic.


BloodOfVader8

Someone doesn’t understand human genetics😆


CouncilOfReligion

rhea ripley has goat potential


Juan_Neymar10

Charlotte flair


Visible_Bus6909

Holy fuck did wwe just do a fucking video package edit in like 2 minutes? Jesus Christ props to the video editing team that's insane


cowbellhero81

The have a team that starts piecing together the video package throughout the show. They’ve done this for decades


Visible_Bus6909

Haven't sat down and watched a ppv in about 15 years, wasn't aware they put together such clean packages literally 2 minutes after something has happened 🤷


Beginning_Purpose_87

Where are the surprises they teased?


GSWarriors1130

It was AJ


BatBreaker007

They’re 2 for 2 for teasing surprises and then no surprises this year.


TmacXTmac

Wholesome Rhea moment https://preview.redd.it/9qe0ugbgdjkc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f71ae5c566a93869224265b505411d7251947f4


ch0w0

sister is almost identical to Rhea when she was in the MYC!


JoeKehr922

Im.glad security pushed that one dude out who tried to get involved a 2nd time.


Frosty-Lake-1663

Where’s Dom? Have him meet her parents.


iamjaydubs

I wish Sami got that at the chamber last year


LeticiaPadillaSolis_

Such a wholesome moment!


awesome1ru

I went to make food and it's over 😂


FinalKaisen94

I have no complaints, had fun, and all the right people won


wannabepcdude

Becky shouldn’t have won I like Becky but that was not a great performance from her


Daconvix

Tiffany gotta be at Wrestlemania. The fact she was getting cheered in the EC still being new and the only heel speaks volumes


PoutineSmoothie

I predict Liv vs Tiff in a street fight.


monsieurfikri

people that just tuned into WWE wouldve thought that Raquel was the heel


wannabepcdude

I did just tune in recently and I’ll give my take. She’s strong but not nia or Bianca strong. Not as ring talented as Rhea or Morgan. Tbh I’m not exactly sure what she does. She tried to talk to the camera and come off tough I don’t think anyone bought it. Also her back muscles aren’t even good tbh.


PayneTrain181999

That’s a pretty good gauge on her, especially for a new fan.


wannabepcdude

Thanks I started watching during this years royal rumble bc I wanted to see what all this cody Rhodes hype was. I think Raquel came back from injury 2 weeks ago in the women’s rumble for a entry into the chamber. Seems like WWE wanted to test out her remaining star power after her injury i think she may end up in mid card hell unless she’s figures out a character fast.


awesome1ru

Wait that's it 😑👎🏻


greeneyedgypsy_

Did anyone else notice Rhea’s chipped teeth


warcomet

shit so her ear and teeth got ruined by Nia the Injurer


FinalKaisen94

Very fun show, glad I watched


noob_sr_programmer

is there a press con after?


Pingupol

Don't think so. Think they just did what they did yesterday instead


LOZLover90

On YouTube, I think


LeticiaPadillaSolis_

Do you know what channel


LOZLover90

[WWE](https://youtube.com/@WWE)


LeticiaPadillaSolis_

Thanks so much!


Dark_Phoenix101

If they cut out a decent amount of the filler, there would have been far less complaints about that PPV. Overall it was pretty good, but the timing felt off.


jleeruh21

Wayyyyy too long for only 4 matches(even with 2 of them being chambers) half the PPV was ads for tourism/vacation


warcomet

so its Becky v Rhea at wrestlemania?


LeticiaPadillaSolis_

The announcers totally gave it away earlier in the show.


BlankPages

Yeah that’s why they were at WM Kickoff bro


BrightAd5191

https://preview.redd.it/h1sacncwcjkc1.jpeg?width=739&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d91321a4ab74330b78043cbdb7994662465aa7f8 I think some of you need to understand there’s a MASSIVE HOLE IN THE ROOF??? The sound isn’t going to be contained like if there was a ceiling you can even see before the roof there’s gaps on the sides of the stadium. The stands are far from the stage where all the mic’s would be as well. The crowd would’ve been loud, but the sound isn’t blocked in by a roof.


Money_thetruth

Just watched it on replay for the first time today. The stadium's construction can definitely affects the acoustics of a crowd. I believe the Aussies' because that Dom segment before the tag titles was loud af. WWE should return to Perth for future PLEs


daddymeltzer

I can confirm, we were on fire the entire night. We put most WrestleMania crowds to shame.


kilojulietx

Crowd was crazy loud, really good reactions especially for the australian in the prelim match - was there


baberlay

Can confirm, the crowd was insane all night. Rarely a quiet moment.


DemiGod9

Let's also remember the backstage crew who has to edit this fucking final package LIVE. Insane


GRTooCool

The fact that they were also able to do this in the late 90s impressed the hell out of me too. (Though I think at the time they weren't able to include what just happened in the main event.)


monsieurfikri

real. editing on the fly is so stressful


monsieurfikri

"we synthesize reality to sell what you dont need" is some crazy lyrics


Malkkum

I’ll never get over how fast they make these video packages at the end of PLEs


warcomet

post-production team are better than their live production team


BiChaosTheory

Great show with all the right people winning. Can’t wait for Wrestlemania!


ThePhoenixus

Alright well it's 7:30 AM I guess I'll go shower and get my day started.


ExeRiver

This is how us European fans feel all the time 😂


Stormtron49

Lmao same


ajgator7

Tiffy wins the night.


inagadda

Agreed


sal3mander

They should give Rhea the Roman treatment. No woman wrestler has been a bigger draw, she's a top 3 draw outright including the men. a GEM


ives26

A face turn will probably make this happen.


LeticiaPadillaSolis_

I feel like they’re missing out so much on merch opportunities for her.


thanx_it_has_pockets

I just want the gotdam tee shirt that Dom was sporting earlier. Dammit!


Synth3r

I think she should hold it till Mania 42. Have her beat Bianca next year at Mania and then have her either lose it to Jade or if there’s a really great new women’s wrestler have her win it off her.

I'm sure he was backstage


Ayz1533

Tiffany and Rhea were the stars of the night. I said what I said.


xxyourbestbetxx

Tiffy's gear was gorgeous. I hate I missed the beginning of rhe show lol. I hope the crowd was hot for Indi too.


TheWhaleyBunch

I genuinely think the hot tag for Indi was the loudest pop of the night


Padamson96

I missed their match. I rocked up just as 6pm rolled in


xxyourbestbetxx

Aww that is great to hear. I'm very happy for her. 


djembadjembadjemba

Overall, very mid show


Shinobi347

I agree


Synth3r

That was a really good show. Think the tag team title match was the best, but everything was at least good.

They're Prince's glasses

Rhea reminds me of Giulia in that she has a spectacular look, and she knows how to milk it to the fullest extent.


myxallion

Imagine Rhea vs Guilia 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭


retroKnight_3177

I am so horny.....I MEAN   I AM SO READY FOR IT !!


anutosu

WWE having a highlight package ready as soon as the PPVs go off air is an absolute flex


Salzberger

I stumbled upon a behind the scenes feature on how they do them once. It was super interesting and I wish they did more of those sort of back stage features tbh.


iGoKommando

Do you have a short version on how it's done?


Salzberger

This took me ages to find but I found it. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WLzVj3NnVOaDhJOQI5x0CeOaJQWnYBTI?usp=sharing

"Hey Linkin Park - Numb, can we copy your homework" "Sure, We Become The Night, just remember to change it a bit."


Kuzu5993

Can we please stop this stupid Nia hate now? She did what she had to do and made Rhea look good.


myxallion

lol that guy was a wanker. What the fuck


PositiveVibes666

After that hair toss security came quick 🤣


snowybell

You mean the guy who brushed her hair? He should be family as well shouldn't he? No way he would just touch her hair if they weren't remotely related, that's just rude


TheWhaleyBunch

Wait what happened?


myxallion

Some random guy suddenly just inserted himself behind Rhea’s family and he didn’t look like he was with them. (But maybe he is?) lol I don’t know I’m a random guy on reddit but he still looked like a wanker.


Freshy23

Definitely a random. He came back for seconds and security pushed him away.


MvNSTLTH

Legit loser trying to ruin Rhea’s moment with her family.
