WWE's Money in the Bank 2023 event has made history by becoming the highest-grossing arena event in the company's history. The event, held at The O2 in London, not only set a new record for WWE but also became the highest-grossing SmackDown event to date. With a combined gate of over $5.4 million, Money in the Bank 2023 shattered previous records and established new benchmarks for viewership, sponsorship revenue, merchandise sales, and social media engagement.
The success of Money in the Bank 2023 can be attributed to various factors. One of the key contributors was the presence of top stars like Roman Reigns and his faction, The Bloodline. Roman Reigns has been one of WWE's biggest draws in recent years, and his involvement in the event undoubtedly played a significant role in attracting a large audience. The ongoing storyline surrounding Reigns and The Bloodline has captured the attention and intrigue of fans, making them eager to witness their favorite superstar in action.
Moreover, the episode of SmackDown on Fox that aired on the same day as Money in the Bank 2023 saw a notable increase in viewership and ratings compared to the previous year. This synchronized programming strategy between the weekly show and the pay-per-view event helped create a buzz among fans and maximize interest in both platforms.
The financial success of Money in the Bank 2023 is a significant achievement for WWE, especially considering the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The company has faced ups and downs in its revenue streams due to the absence of live events during certain periods. However, with the return of live event touring starting in July 2021, WWE has been able to regain its momentum and deliver exceptional events like Money in the Bank 2023.
Overall, WWE's Money in the Bank 2023 has proven to be a landmark event in the company's history. With its record-breaking revenue, increased viewership, and the star power of Roman Reigns and The Bloodline, the event has solidified WWE's position as a global leader in the world of professional wrestling and entertainment.
While that is great news for WWE, the NXT callups from the Black and Gold era since 2019 have suffered staying with or reverting back to original characters. KOP explains.
