WWE has been riding a wave of success over the past year, with impressive metrics across the board, from TV ratings to revenue, attendance, merchandise sales, and more.
SmackDown, in particular, has been on a remarkable upswing, thanks to captivating storylines like The Bloodline, the continued rise of LA Knight, and the highly anticipated return of John Cena.
Cena made his triumphant return to WWE on the September 1st episode of SmackDown, igniting a new chapter in his WWE journey. Since then, he has been a consistent presence on the SmackDown roster, appearing on every show. While his upcoming match against Solo Sikoa at Crown Jewel is believed to be his last WWE date for the time being, Cena’s presence has been a major draw for fans.
One noteworthy achievement is the impressive attendance record for SmackDown. WrestleTix pointed out that the recent SmackDown event from the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, WI, drew over 11,000 fans in attendance. This marks the eighth consecutive SmackDown event with over 10,000 fans in attendance.
The recent contract signing between LA Knight and Roman Reigns for their Undisputed WWE Universal Title match at Crown Jewel was a highlight of the event, showcasing WWE’s ability to consistently deliver compelling content and draw in a passionate audience.
WWE’s winning streak shows no signs of slowing down, and the future looks bright for the world of professional wrestling. Fans can continue to expect top-tier entertainment and unforgettable moments from WWE’s flagship program, SmackDown!
