WWE announces that WrestleMania 38 made history in several unique ways
WWE WrestleMania 38 turned out to be a roaring success, with most of the wrestling world praising the spectacle and matches over its two-night extravaganza. WWE has announced that the awe-inspiring event has also managed to break quite a few records as well.
The two-night event streamed live on Peacock from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and has been declared by WWE as the highest-grossing and most-attended event in the company's history.
The Show of Shows saw approximately a combined attendance of 156,352, represented by fans from 50 different states and 53 separate countries converging on the stadium of the Dallas Cowboys.
WrestleMania 38 smashed the records that were set back in 2016 and proved that holding the event for two nights was a hit concept. WWE sent out an official press release statement regarding the impressive record-breaking attendance numbers.
An excerpt from the statement by the company reads:
"We are thrilled that WrestleMania’s return to Dallas again generated record results, proving that everything is indeed bigger in Texas,” said WWE Executive Vice President of Special Events John Saboor. “We are grateful to the Jones Family and the entire Dallas Cowboys Organization, the Dallas Sports Commission, the city of Arlington, the city of Dallas and all the public and private sector partners who were instrumental in making WrestleMania 38 the most stupendous two-night WrestleMania in history. We now turn our attention to next year, where WrestleMania will take over Hollywood.”
WWE calls Wrestlemania 38 the "highest-grossing and most-attended event in company history", conflating the 2-night event as singular. Wrestlemania was a 1-night event 1985-2019.
No live gate number is disclosed in the press release.
