WWE touts new records set by Fastlane 2023

WWE issued a press release on Monday touting the success of Fastlane 2023.

The show, which took place in Indianapolis on Saturday, was the “most-watched and highest-grossing Fastlane” in company history. It was also the highest-grossing WWE event to ever take place in the city of Indianapolis.

This was the first Fastlane event since 2021. Viewership for the show was up 71 percent from that previous record. Fastlane 2021 was the first WWE pay-per-view to ever stream on Peacock.

“The sold-out show marked the largest gate ever for any Fastlane, up more than 31 percent versus the previous record set in Cleveland in 2016,” WWE wrote. “In addition, Fastlane sponsorship revenue was up 60 percent versus the previous record set in 2021.”

The main event of Saturday’s show saw Seth Rollins defeat Shinsuke Nakamura in a Last Man Standing match to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. There was also a tag team match with John Cena & LA Knight defeating The Bloodline’s Jimmy Uso & Solo Sikoa.

WWE’s next premium live event is Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, November 4.
