WWE Wrestlepalooza Date, Location Announced amid Rumors of John Cena Classic Tournament 2026

WWE announced Thursday that the Wrestlepalooza premium live event will be held at RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia, on Dec. 12, 2026.

The venue will also play host to SmackDown on Dec. 11 and Raw on Dec. 14 as part of an expanded partnership between WWE and Western Australia through 2028.

It was previously reported by False Finish that WWE was "looking at" holding the John Cena Classic tournament on Dec. 12 at a yet-to-be-determined location.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (h/t Wrestle Features) followed up by reporting Friday that the John Cena Classic will indeed take place on Dec. 12, but he too did not have details on the location.

Since it seems unlikely that WWE would have two major shows on the same day, signs point toward the John Cena Classic being part of the Wrestlepalooza PLE in Perth.
