Michael Cole shared an interesting nugget of information while hosting the media event for Saturday’s WWE Elimination Chamber PLE that involved pirates.
The event
WWE is holding the show from the Optus Stadium in Perth, Western Australia. It’s WWE’s first trip to the country since 2018. The WWE previously held the Super Show-Down event at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, Australia, which was headlined by Triple H vs. The Undertaker.
As a reminder, The pre-show starts at 4 am ET while the main card starts at 5 am ET. You can check out the card here.
Plans change
The longtime WWE announcer shared that real-life pirates impacted WWE’s plans to get the structure to Perth.
“The structure, which took a month to get here. Originally, it was supposed to ship through the Suez Canal, but pirates ended those plans. So it was sent to Miami, transported via truck to Los Angeles, taken by ship to Sydney, and then by train to Perth, and now the Elimination Chamber is being constructed as we speak.”
THIS IS INSANE!!!
