WrestleMania 41 has officially become the most successful event in WWE history, both in terms of revenue and viewership.
Held across two nights, 19–20 April, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the wrestling spectacular brought in a record-breaking 124,693 fans.
WWE confirmed the milestone on Tuesday, stating the event also set a new record as the most-viewed WrestleMania ever, with numbers up 114% compared to last year.
Among the standout moments: Cody Rhodes lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to John Cena, aided by Travis Scott, Seth Rollins triumphed in a Triple Threat Match against Roman Reigns and CM Punk, and Becky Lynch made her return.
It was also the first WrestleMania to stream live on Netflix across most international regions, and notably, the first to be held during Easter weekend.
Onsite merchandise sales, in partnership with Fanatics, surged 45%, contributing to the event becoming WWE’s highest-grossing of all time.
E-commerce purchases jumped by 86% versus last year, and the number of sponsors hit a record 28. WWE's hospitality partner On Location saw a 75% boost in sales and package bookings.
The week also featured WWE World, a five-day interactive fan experience by Fanatics Events, which welcomed over 50,000 attendees—a 21% increase from the previous year.
Social media buzz was immense, with WrestleMania 41 racking up 1.1 billion views over the weekend. Sunday alone became the most-viewed day in WWE YouTube history.
This announcement comes just a day after WWE revealed “WWE: Unreal,” a new Netflix docuseries arriving this summer that will give audiences unprecedented access to the promotion’s inner workings and writers' room.
