In a press release issued today, WWE announced that the 2025
Royal Rumble became the most-successful and highest-grossing

The show generated the largest gate for any single-night
event in WWE history. The attendance is only behind
WrestleMania 40 Saturday & Sunday for any single-night gate.

Royal Rumble 2025 set the event’s all-time viewership
record, up nearly 14 percent domestically, distributed on
Peacock, from last year’s record-setting audience.
International viewing numbers are up even higher year-over-
year with Royal Rumble shifting to Netflix globally.


In partnership with Fanatics, merchandise sales were up more
than 95 percent versus the previous Royal Rumble record set
last year in 2024, making Royal Rumble 2025 the highest-
grossing non-WrestleMania event of all-time.

Sponsorship revenue was up 94 percent versus the previous
record set in 2024. Royal Rumble featured 14 total partners,
with 100 percent of the matches sponsored.

Royal Rumble 2025 set a record for the most social video
views in Royal Rumble history. WWE Superstar Bron Breakker
spearing popular streamer IShowSpeed became the most-viewed
Royal Rumble social post of all-time, generating more than
300,000,000 social views in less than 24 hours.
