WWE Elimination Chamber Breaks Live Gate and Viewership Records

According to WWE, Elimination Chamber this year broke the viewership record for the PLE as well as live gate records for the PLE and city of Montreal.


Elimination Chamber may not have ended with the results WWE fans were hoping for — Sami Zayn defeating Roman Reigns to become the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion — but it did end with the result WWE was hoping for. According to a press release, this year's Elimination Chamber broke WWE records for the PLE, including in live attendance for both Elimination Chambers and shows held in Montreal and viewership for Elimination Chamber events. In fact, the press release claims that viewership increased by 54% over last year, which was the previous record-holder.

From the press release:

WWE today announced that the 2023 Elimination Chamber, which emanated from the Bell Centre in Montreal, became WWE's highest-grossing and most-viewed Elimination Chamber in company history.

Viewership of the 2023 Elimination Chamber saw a 54 percent increase versus the previous record set in 2022. It also marked the largest gate ever for any WWE event held in Montreal and the largest gate in the history of Elimination Chamber.

In addition, 2023 Elimination Chamber broke the all-time event merchandise record and generated the highest-grossing Priority Pass fan experience packages for any non-"Big Five" premium live event through WWE's partnership with On Location. Elimination Chamber sponsorship revenue was up nearly 300 percent versus 2022.

On social, content featuring WWE Superstars Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn generated nearly 20 million views across WWE's social platforms.

WWE is on a roll heading into WrestleMania next month, with interest seemingly higher than its been in years. Part of that is the creative upheaval that's taken place in the company since Vince McMahon temporarily left last year, putting Triple H in charge of creative at the company. The desire to see Roman Reigns end his multi-year title run, and the popularity of Cody Rhodes, also help. WrestleMania takes place over two nights on April 1st and 2nd in Los Angeles this year. Will it break records too?

A prophecy claims that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Unfortunately, nobody can tell when the comics industry has reached its "darkest days" because it somehow keeps finding new lows to sink to. No matter! Jude Terror stands vigilant, bringing the snarkiest of comic book and pro wrestling clickbait to the undeserving readers of Bleeding Cool.
