WWE executives received a memo on November 30 detailing the following about the PPV:

⁃ It claimed the most-viewed Survivor Series on record, jumping 46% vs. 2021’s edition of the show

⁃  The best in-venue merchandise sales in the event’s history, up 20% from last year’s Survivor Series. 

⁃ The live gate was highest ever in Boston and for Survivor Series, which Triple H noted at the post-show press conference.

⁃ Fan enjoyment rating popped 48% vs. last year. We aren’t sure how this is measured internally within WWE or the metrics associated. 

⁃ It also touted (though none were on Tout) that social media video views were up year over year, with the TikTok of Roman Reigns sending Sami Zayn into the match garnering 13 million views alone.

WWE Survivor Series WarGames was a big night for the company, and it marked Triple H successfully bringing WarGames to the main roster. Obviously, the event received a lot of attention, and WWE has the numbers to prove it.
