Paul Levesque has announced that Saturday Night’s Main Event set a new financial milestone for WWE’s arena shows.
Following the December 13 event at the Capital One Arena in Washington, DC, the WWE Chief Content Officer stated that the show was the highest-grossing arena event in the company’s history.
The card was headlined by the final match of John Cena’s career, where he was defeated by Gunther.
The announced attendance on the broadcast for the show was 19,232.
Triple H wrote on X:
Thank you @CapitalOneArena! Tonight’s #SNME was not simply the highest grossing @WWE arena event ever, but highest grossing event ever at Capital One Arena.
While no specific gate figure was released for Saturday’s event, the distinction would place it ahead of the debut of Monday Night Raw on Netflix earlier this year. That event, held at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles on January 6, generated a gate of approximately $4.8 million.
Prior to the Netflix debut, the record had been held by international events such as Bash in Berlin and Backlash France in 2024, which surpassed the $3.3 million gate set by Money in the Bank in London in 2023.
