WA state government have been extremely vocal about wanting to have big international events at Optus Stadium so it makes sense, time zones will be whack of course so that's not going to be fun.

Gee, I sure can't wait that if more than 72,266 people are at the show, all the E-drones and anti-AEW people online will say that this event sold more tickets than All In. Without realizing that All In sold 81,035 tickets, and that the paid tickets record is different than the attendance record.

If that happens save Becky Lynch vs Rhea Ripley for the main event of that show.

I'm in New Zealand so flying to Aus for a weekend wouldn't be that far out of the question. Depends on price though. Hopefully it will all work out.

Awesome!!! These overseas shows have had tremendous crowds that have given the events a "big fight" feel. I love it!

As someone living in the UK, it will be nice to watch a live PPV during the day that isn't a Saudi show.

That means Smackdown will have to be taped as there is no way they're going to be able to run that live.
Also maybe the earliest show to air live in NA ever?
