WWE stars tackle Perth ahead of Saturday’s Elimination Chamber at Optus Stadium

What do WWE competitors do in Perth to pass the time?

Ahead of Saturday’s WWE Elimination Chamber event at Optus Stadium, some of the biggest names in wrestling entertainment had Perth firmly in their grasp and used their spare time to explore our glorious city.

Some opponents proved easier to pin down, with stars LA Knight, Montez Ford, Bianca Belair, Pete Dunne, Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell submitting to the cuteness of one of our favourite furry friends, the koala.

Apparently still getting used to the sub-continental weather, many could be seen donning pants and all black, which locals know is a sure sign to attract the heat in Perth’s extreme summer weather.

Some broke a sweat away from the sun, throwing their weight around Doherty’s Gym to pump themselves up before the big day.

Overnight, sneaky Aussie star Grayson Waller snuck into the Bell Tower to change the tune of Perth’s most famous bell — into that of the WWE’s.

However, it didn’t go unnoticed, with eagle-eyed locals pointing out the unforeseen upgrade.

Australia’s own Rhea Ripley touched down in Perth, back in the land it all started under her given name Demi Bennett.

The ruthless Ripley caught her own eye on a flagpole as she drove through the city, where the 27-year-old’s signature chains and black leather will soon make an appearance.

She enjoyed intimidating fans and radio jocks ahead of the spectacle.

With global name Logan Paul returning earlier in the week, and the hope of stars The Rock and John Cena attending, Perth is buzzing with anticipation ahead of the weekend’s event.

All the WWE action is set to commence from 5.30pm Saturday.
