SUMMARY
- Fans express disappointment over the stage setup for WWE's Elimination Chamber event at Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia.
- Fans take to social media to voice their dissatisfaction with the reported incomplete and underwhelming look of the Elimination Chamber stage.
WWE’s next stop for premium live events is in Perth, Australia. For the first time, WWE will be holding a premium live event in Australia and fans can’t wait for the action to unfold. With Elimination Chamber right around the corner, fans wanted to have a sneak peek of the stage and overall look of the Optus Stadium.
The Elimination Chamber press event was conducted outside the Optus Stadium leaving fans in wonder about the actual stage of the event. While there are several stellar matches on the card, the event with such hype should have a blockbuster arrangement. This was not the case when a photo from inside the stadium was recently released.
There was a time when WWE actually used to put effort into making stage setups for PPVs. 🥲

The stage wasn’t the one fans expected as there were two big titantrons in the middle of the stage. Fans instantly called out the management and production company. “If WWE is doing better business than ever where’s the titantron? Haha” wrote one fan about the record-breaking sales and viewership in recent times.
“Saudi Arabia pays better they get the WrestleMania stages” stated another user on looking at the potential stage. People also talked about how the pirates attacked the shipment of the Elimination Chamber. “The pirates took the stage!” said the user. “This looks like a House show stage…” wrote another user.
With Elimination Chamber moments away, fans are eager to see how the stage looks. The photo released on X might have displayed an incomplete look of the stage.
Real Pirates nearly cost WWE the Elimination Chamber
The Elimination Chamber structure was virtually required to be absent from the Saturday, February 24 pay-per-view. At Thursday night’s WWE Elimination Chamber Press Event in Perth, Australia, Michael Cole disclosed that pirates caused the structure to take more than a month to reach Australia.

“A structure which took over a month to get here. Originally it was supposed to ship through the Suez Canal, but pirates ended those plans.”, stated Cole. On Saturday, there will be two bouts held at Optus Stadium in Perth.
The women’s match at WrestleMania 40 will pit Becky Lynch against Bianca Belair, Tiffany Stratton against Liv Morgan, Naomi against Raquel Rodriguez, and Naomi against Liv Morgan. Kevin Owens, Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, LA Knight, and Bobby Lashley will compete in the men’s match to determine who gets to confront Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania.
