WWE looks to seize momentum, go big

Earlier this year, AEW’s All In at the iconic Wembley Stadium reportedly smashed the record for the highest number of footfalls with 81,035. That joy was, however, short-lived for Tony Khan and his company. A revised report put the figures at around 73,000, well short of WWE’s record haul of 80,709, which they managed during WrestleMania 32 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The AEW numbers were debunked. It has added more momentum to WWE’s juggernaut and the Stamford-based company has since had a decent run in all their PLEs. It’s setting multiple records during SummerSlam 2023.

The arena size shows also signifies that Triple H is looking to flex his muscles and go big with the shows. Now giving NXT, the developmental brand, another shot in the arm. With fans supporting WWE in the Triple H era, expect the company to churn out good numbers and extend its dominance over its closest competitors.
