Before WWE had the WWE network and channels signed in like Peackock, their WWE Pay Per View sales were their biggest profit earner. With many ups and downs, WWE has become the biggest wrestling company in the world. Nevertheless, history reveals that WWE cared a lot about how many people watched the shows. It was a big indicator of whose stars, stories, matches, and overall cards persuaded viewers to buy the show. The cheap monthly membership fee for the WWE Network makes it easy to just stay enrolled. So, here today we will look at the most sold pay-per view in terms of money by WWE. These events included many main events and many memorable memories as well.
Tickets sold out in less than a minute after going on sale, making it the fastest-selling WWE and Staples Center event ever. The firm generated $2.6 million in gate money thanks to a sold-out audience of 20,193 at Staples Center and a high pay-per-view buyrate. With an incredible match card, Wrestlemania 21 was one of the best PPVs. It gave the first money in the bank match, and WWE set up two new faces John Cena and Batista. Randy Orton went against The Undertaker and almost ended the streak. Every moment was inexplicably awesome. Also, the fans got one hell of a show.

WrestleMania 23 was placed at Ford Field in Detroit, and it drew an all-time high of 80,103 fans. The total gate proceeds for the tournament were $5.38 million. WWE’s major events at WrestleMania 23 were John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker vs. Batista, both for the world titles. With his fight with Vince McMahon culminated in a Bobby Lashley vs. Umaga bout, Donald Trump’s notoriety aided the organization as well. The requirement that one of the billionaires shave their heads contributed significantly to the show’s 1.2 million sales. WrestleMania 23 also featured the most star-studded Money in the Bank ladder match, helping it to finish second in all-time WWE Pay Per View sales.
The WWE was more than delighted to share the record-breaking news when the stats were released. The 78,363 in attendance at Miami’s Sun Life Stadium earned $8.9 million in gate proceeds, a new business record. The event was broadcasted live to 1.2 million people in 120 countries. WWE spent nearly a year building the ideal bout between John Cena and The Rock. The last match at WrestleMania 28 made it the most successful pay-per-view event in WWE history.
The Undertaker went 20-0 by defeating Triple H in WrestleMania’s Hell in a Cell battle, CM Punk retained the WWE Championship against Chris Jericho, and Daniel Bryan lost the World Heavyweight Championship to Sheamus in under 18 seconds. Since the WWE Network is now the home of monthly PPVs, WrestleMania 28 was a home run and established a record that will likely never be broken.
