10 WWE SummerSlam Records You Didn’t Know About

Naturally, those impressive attendance numbers have translated into some serious dollar coming through the gates.

In total, the show’s been estimated to have brought in over $21.5 million from ticket sales, and that’s without even factoring in the revenue from last year’s 2015 event. By now the number is likely much closer to the $23 million mark.

That figure is aided by eight shows that managed to gross over $1 million, with the highest of the lot being that 1992 instalment from Wembley, which earned the company a cool $2.2 million.

It wasn’t until the year 2000 that they’d once again breach a seven-figure gate, but since 2011 the show’s regularly brought in more than $1 million each year, with the highest Northern American gate coming in 2014 when $1.3 million was grossed at the Staples Centre. Unless last year’s show in Brooklyn trumped that, of course.

With another stacked card to look forward to this year, and with the show emanating from the Barclays Centre - a slightly bigger venue than its Staples-branded counterpart - expect another record revenue number from 2016’s offering.
