The time for talk is over as Perth hosts WWE’s massive Elimination Chamber, who will emerge victorious for the chance to fight in WrestleMania and can Rhea Ripley defend her belt?

It’s a stacked card with both men’s and women’s chambers featuring some of the biggest names in wrestling including the likes of Randy Orton, Logan Paul, Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair.

Whoever emerges from the chamber victorious will get their shot at WrestleMania while Australia’s own Rhea Ripley will defend her Women’s World Championship title against Nia Jax.

And if we’re lucky, we might even get a glimpse of The Rock.

Follow along with all the action below.

Perth public enemy number one Logan Paul is here

All eyes are on the stacked men’s Elimination Chamber match – especially now that Perth’s newest enemy Logan Paul has entered the stadium.

Paul goaded the crowd as he walked up to the chamber, after spending most of his days in Perth dissing our glorious city.

At yesterday’s WWE fan day he claimed “this place sucks”.

What will the reaction be if he stands tallest tonight?

He will take on Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton, Bobby Lashley, LA Knight and Kevin Owens in the chamber.

Who will be the last man standing?

WHAT. A. SHOW.

The State’s efforts to ensure Perth embraced the WWE as it deserved have undoubtedly been successful.

A 52,590-strong crowd lapped up every bit of action the stars through their way, cheering and wooing as all the action unfolded.

Tourism Minister Rita Saffioti expressed her joy at our city’s attendance, sharing an appreciative post to her Instagram account.

Saffioti has not disclosed the dollar figure the State parted with to acquire the massive show.

What an amazing show that was.

NIA JAX CAN’T ESCAPE THE RIPTIDE

What a match, Jax took out the announcers table with Ripley but Mami would not be denied in front of a home crowd.

MAMI is here!

Best for last? Rhea Ripley and Nia Jax kick it off!

Australia’s hometown hero Rhea Ripley is the last major drawcard to appear, and a powerful appearance she made.

Pyrotechnics, Australian Flags and her iconic makeup.

American Nia Jax can talk trash, and did at yesterday’s fan event, but can she back it up tonight?

Ding, ding, ding .... the Women’s Championship bout is underway.

Triple H reveals 52,590 people in the house!

Triple H has taken to the ring and thanked Perth for hosting WWE’s Elimination Chamber.

Attendance at Optus reached a whopping 52,590 people he told adoring fans.

All is fair in love and war... and WWE.

It’s a cruel sport at times.

With dirty tactics and opportunism at the heart of WWE, it can truly be anyone’s night.

Logan Paul came from the dead to serve Randy Orton on a platter for Drew McIntyre, though fans were at least pleased to see online sensation Paul’s night ended prematurely.

An appearance by AJ Styles to stir s*it up in the minutes prior gave McIntyre a smoother runway to the finish, and he took it with both hands.

MCINTYRE IS GOING TO WRESTLEMANIA

That was Orton’s to win after another devastating RKO but Paul came back to knock Orton out with the brass knuckles allowing McIntyre to claim the win.

What drama!

LOGAN PAUL IS OUT!

It’s over for Logan Paul - Perth’s most hated WWE superstar.

After getting his a*se handed to him the entire time he was in the Chamber, Logan Paul resorted to the dodgy tactics of his ol’ brass knucles before Randy Orton came up behind and hit him with a RKO and the crowd goes nuts.

Bad back or not, Randy Orton couldn’t bare the thought of the cheating Paul outlasting him.

It leaves Orton, McIntyre and Logan Paul as the last men standing, they all look spent.
