While speaking to The Today Show about WWE's return to Australia, Rhea noted that it's 'extremely special'.

"It's extremely special. We always love coming back home, especially with something as prestigious as WWE. Last time, as we can see, Elimination Chamber, it was the first time that I got to wrestle on Australian soil in seven years, and it was with WWE for the first time. So I'm glad that we can now not only bring another PLE with Crown Jewel Perth, but we can also bring Raw and SmackDown, and all the other superstars can experience Australia, and it gets more eyes on Australia and WWE in general. So it's going to be a lot of fun."

Buddy Matthews recently explained that he would love to work with his wife Rhea Ripley in pro wrestling in the future. You can read more about that here.
