It makes sense, too—this year’s Rumble had a stacked card, major surprises, and a lot of buzz going in.
Those numbers are insane! A 14% jump in Peacock viewership, nearly doubling merchandise sales, and a massive 94% increase in sponsorship revenue? WWE is clearly thriving under Triple H’s leadership.
The international boost from Netflix must’ve played a big role, and it’s cool to see WWE finally making major moves with streaming beyond the U.S. Plus, hosting the Rumble in an NFL stadium like Lucas Oil Field was a smart move—it really gave the event that “big-time” feel.
Charlotte Flair and Jey Uso winning their respective Rumbles is interesting. Jey’s win must have been a huge moment, considering his rise in popularity. And Cody Rhodes retaining in a ladder match against Kevin Owens sounds like it was a brutal, must-see bout.
Also, Bron Breakker spearing IShowSpeed? No wonder that clip broke records—Speed always gets crazy reactions, and Bron’s spear is a beastly move.
With WWE committing to more big events in Indianapolis, do you think they’ll bring WrestleMania there in the next few years?
