April 3, 2023 Observer Newsletter: WWE WrestleMania 39 week preview

What will be by far the biggest money weekend in the history of WWE and pro wrestling in general is upon is with two days of WrestleMania, an NXT Stand & Deliver special, sellouts for Smackdown & The Hall of Fame as well as Raw at the Crypto.com in Los Angeles, and countless shows from promotions all over the world.

A number of WrestleMania records are guaranteed to be set including most tickets sold (adding up the two nights), most viewers watching (due to it being on Peacock which has grown greatly in subscribers over the past year), most merchandise sold (because from the merchandise standpoint the company is at its hottest period) and by far the most sponsorship revenue.

The two WrestleMania shows at SoFi Stadium will have two-hour pre-shows starting at 6 p.m. Eastern with an 8 p.m. main show. The first night will have seven matches and the second night will have six, unless something is added, due to the Bobby Lashley vs. Bray Wyatt match being canceled. There will no doubt be plenty of surprises. The show is also there to showcase the product and the fan enthusiasm for any prospective buyers.
