WWE brought an Aussie-style celebration to the Crown Jewel kickoff show—and it ended with a shoey party fans didnâ€t see coming.
Grayson Waller kicked things off by hitting the stage in Perth, Australia with cans of beer in hand, and it didnâ€t take long to see where this was going. Waller and fellow Australian Rhea Ripley were clearly ready for a shoey, and the crowd knew it too.
But the celebration didnâ€t stop there. Waller pulled out a third can and turned to IYO SKY, asking if she wanted to join them. The Genius of the Sky didnâ€t hesitate, stepping up and joining the impromptu beer-soaked moment to the crowdâ€s delight.
Then came the curveball. Waller pulled out one more can and asked the crowd who should join next. The fans chanted for Michael Cole. Waller asked him directly, and Cole replied with a grin that heâ€d never turn down a beer.
Rhea, IYO, and Waller all did their shoeys like pros, pouring the beer into their shoes and chugging it. Cole opted to skip the footwear and just drank straight from the can—but the crowd still popped huge for the whole segment, closing the kickoff show on a high note.
The celebration wasnâ€t just entertaining—it was a perfect example of WWEâ€s connection with international crowds. With Ripley and Waller proudly repping their home country and IYO SKY and Michael Cole joining in, the moment captured exactly what WWE does best: creating unforgettable memories, even before the first bell rings.
