As the Road to WrestleMania rumbles on, many have speculated on what Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins will be doing at WWE Elimination Chamber in Perth, Australia later this month. Well, that PLE will see Rhodes and Rollins get that Grayson Waller Rub.

Despite Seth Rollins currently recovering from a torn MCL and a partially torn meniscus, some fans suggested we could see Rollins & Rhodes vs. The Rock & Roman Reigns in Australia. Clearly, that match is now on the horizon for WrestleMania XL - seemingly Night 1 of that Showcase of the Immortals - but it seemed unthinkable that two majors stars in Seth and Cody wouldn't be involved in a huge PLE such as Elimination Chamber.

Announced by Grayson Waller himself on The Bump, he'll be hosting Rollins and Rhodes for a special edition of The Grayson Waller Effect at Perth's Optus Stadium.

Of course, Waller is Australian - essentially the Australian Prime Minister, as per Waller - and it was always expected he'd have a role to play as WWE returns to Australia for the first time since a three-date house show tour in 2019. Prior to that, the market leader held the WWE Super Show-Down PLE from the Melbourne Cricket Ground the year before.

While Grayson Waller is one Australian who'll be featured at Elimination Chamber, taking a bigger role is Rhea Ripley, who'll be defending her Women's World Championship against Nia Jax. Elsewhere, Bronson Reed came up short on Monday in his quest to qualify for the men's Chamber match, and fellow Aussie Indi Hartwell has her chance to qualify for the women's Chamber on this week's SmackDown.

As for other Australian WWE talent, there's Duke Hudson down in NXT, although one has to imagine Duke likely won't be involved in Elimination Chamber in any form or fashion. Then there's the curious case of Xyon Quinn, who was announced as a free agent as part of the WWE Draft back in April, but who's only match since then was as part of a battle royal to crown a #1 contender for the Intercontinental Title during a May 2023 episode of Raw.
