WWE’s Shipping Plans for Elimination Chamber Affected by Real-Life Pirate Activity

Michael Cole shared an interesting piece of information during the media event on the Saturday’s WWE Elimination Chamber PLE that included pirates.

The incident

WWE will host the show at The Optus Stadium in Perth, Western Australia. The show is WWE’s first visit to Australia since the year 2018. The WWE previously hosted an event called the Super Show-Down event at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, Australia, which was featured with Triple H vs. The Undertaker.

For a reminder, the pre-show begins at 4 a.m. ET. The main show starts at 5am ET.

Plans change

The long-running WWE announcer revealed that pirates from the real world impacted WWE’s plans to bring the structure into Perth.

“The structure took over a month to arrive here. It was initially planned to travel via to the Suez Canal, but pirates stopped the plans. It was sent to Miami which was then transferred via the truck route until Los Angeles, taken by ship to Sydney followed by train to Perth Then Perth, where the Elimination Chamber is being constructed in the present moment.”
