The WWE Australia & New Zealand Live Tour lands in Melbourne on 9 December, with tickets out 15 October.

WWE is back in Melbourne at Rod Laver Arena on 9 December, and it’s bringing CM Punk with it.

Three new shows have been added to the WWE Australia & New Zealand Live Tour, covering Melbourne, Brisbane Entertainment Centre on 15 December and Spark Arena in Auckland on 17 December. Brisbane hasn’t had a WWE show in seven years. Auckland has gone 10. The Melbourne card is the one stacked with belts: Sami Zayn arrives holding the undisputed WWE championship, Trick Williams has the United States title and Chelsea Green has the women’s championship. Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Charlotte Flair, GUNTHER and Jade Cargill are all on the Rod Laver bill too, with more names still to come.

Over in Brisbane and Auckland, Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch headline the announced talent, alongside Oba Femi, Liv Morgan, LA Knight, Je’Von Evans, tag team champions The Vision and The Bloodline. Every card comes with the usual caveat that talent can change between now and December.

General tickets go on sale 15 October at 2pm local time. Two presales run the day before: Mastercard cardholders get in at 1pm on 14 October, Live Nation members at 3pm, and both windows shut at midday on 15 October. Anyone who wants the general presale can register at wwe.com ahead of the 14 October start.

Perth got its run announced earlier and is already selling through Ticketek, with three nights at RAC Arena across 11, 12 and 14 December. That makes six WWE events in Australia and New Zealand inside nine days.

VIP packages are available for all dates. The top tiers put fans in the front row, inside the barricade and in autograph signings, with the option of a ringside photo holding a championship belt. Packages also carry merchandise, a 3D commemorative poster, priority check-in and early merch access. Details and pricing are at superfan.live/wwe.
