Below are some top WWE & AEW news stories of the day, involving Gunther, John Cena & Bryan Danielson:
• WWE Elimination Chamber 2024 premium live event at Perth’s Optus Stadium reached 80,000 pre-registrations in just 48 hours after it was announced, signaling an imminent sellout for WWE’s return to Australia after 6 years.
This PLE will air in Australian prime time. This means the show will air at 6 AM ET & 3 AM PT in the United States on Saturday, February 24th.
Current Intercontinental Champion Gunther is going to miss this event.
During an interview with Krone, The Ring General revealed that he’s not allowed to leave the US for the next 6 months due to strict residence regulations, so he will only wrestle in the US.
He isn’t going to be a part of today’s Crown Jewel PLE in Saudi Arabia either.
