Saturday's Rumble — which packed more than 51,000 people into San Antonio's largest sports facility — was both the most-viewed and highest-grossing iteration of the event in WWE history, according to a company news release.
Beyond that, the event set an all-time WWE gate record at more than $7.7 million, blowing past the previous one set in 2017, according to the release. What's more, the spectacle broke all-time merchandise and sponsorship records.Roman Reigns-Sami Zayn videos garnered upward of 20 million views across platforms, according to the WWE release, while Reigns' Tik Tok account, launched in conjunction with the event, drew 100,000 followers in its first 24 hours.
The Royal Rumble is one of several high-profile events scheduled for this spring at the Alamodome. The facility is hosting the Vargas vs. Foster Showtime Boxing bout on Feb. 11, the return of XFL Feb. 19 and the Red Hot Chili Peppers May 17.
