WWE Live Event from MSG created all-time record
Now, WWE has been on a roll, especially after their merger with the UFC under the TKO banner. The latest WWE Live Event was another example where they smashed AEW’s PPV event set from Uniondale, New York, this weekend.
According to Sean Sapp behind Fightful’s paywall, the December 26th Madison Square Garden WWE Live Event broke earlier WWE records as this has now become the highest-grossing non-television event of all time for the company with a total sell-out,
“Internal WWE live events reports claim that WWE’s live event in Madison Square Garden was sold out. The event was said to be the highest-grossing domestic non-televised event of all-time for WWE.”
