Lower ticket sales for WrestleMania 42 drove a $33.7 million year-over-year decline in WWE’s live events and hospitality revenue.
TKO’s second-quarter results show that the category generated $152 million, down from $185.7 million in the same period last year.
The company said the decrease came from lower ticket revenue and was “almost exclusively” related to WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas.
TKO did not disclose a gate for this year’s two-night event at Allegiant Stadium.
WrestleMania 41 generated $66,074,558 in ticket sales across its two nights in 2025. Pollstar data showed that 113,412 tickets were sold in total.
The $33.7 million decline cannot be subtracted directly from last year’s WrestleMania gate to calculate the 2026 figure. This is because WWE’s live events and hospitality category covers all events during the quarter and also includes hospitality and financial incentive packages.
However, TKO’s attribution indicates that WrestleMania ticket revenue fell significantly from the record set one year earlier.
WrestleMania business this year was dreadful compared to last year, yikes. No, I am not saying it was dreadful overall, just in comparison to last year’s WrestleMania.
So when is Kairi debuting in AEW?
Lena Kross > Megan BayneWho cares she won’t go over and the roster is already bloated - Toni/Mone/Willow are the chosen ones not even Jaime Hayter can get any traction. Megan Bayne should get a singles push but she’s stuck in the tag thing.
Regardless there’s like 20 women on the main roster there so they need more? Not to mention stuffing some down in roh.Lena Kross > Megan Bayne

Does TK develop talent? Edge hasn’t put over one person nor has Lashley.
Fletcher getting shoved down our throats doesn’t mean he’s developed he already ended Adam Cole’s career.

Brock officially announced his retirement.
Silver Lake, the private equity company that owns Endeavor/TKO/WWE, was already massively in debt from buying UFC and now they even more massively in debt. If you thought the ads were bad before…
