WWE issued its annual post-WrestleMania press release on Tuesday morning, calling WrestleMania 41 the most financially successful and highest-viewed event in company history.

The two-night event took place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Saturday and Sunday. With WWE announcing a combined attendance of 124,693, this was the largest gate for any WWE show ever. WWE did not disclose the exact gate figure, but the previous record was estimated at nearly $40 million for WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia (combined for both nights).

WrestleMania 41 aired on Peacock in the United States and — for the first time — streamed on Netflix outside of the U.S. WWE says viewership for the show was up 114 percent from the previous record that was set in 2024.

WWE also touted records for merchandise sales, sponsorship revenue, fan convention attendance, and social media views:

MERCHANDISE: In partnership with Fanatics, merchandise sales onsite were up more than 45 percent versus the previous all-time event record set by WrestleMania XL in 2024, making WrestleMania 41 the highest-grossing event of all-time. Additionally, ecommerce sales were up 86 percent versus last year’s record.
SPONSORSHIP: WrestleMania 41 featured a record 28 total partners and set an all-time event record for revenue.
WWE WORLD: WWE World at WrestleMania 41, the five-day interactive fan experience in partnership with Fanatics Events, became the most-attended WWE fan convention of all time with more than 50,000 attendees – a 21 percent increase over last year’s event surrounding WrestleMania XL.
SOCIAL: WrestleMania 41 became the most socially viewed WWE event of all-time, generating 1.1 billion social views throughout the weekend. Additionally, WWE’s YouTube channel saw its most-viewed day ever on WrestleMania Sunday.

Following WrestleMania IX in 1993, this was WWE’s second time ever bringing WrestleMania to Las Vegas. New Orleans will host WrestleMania 42 in 2026 with the Superdome getting its third WrestleMania.
