WrestleMania 38 Makes History: How Many People Attended WWE's 2-Night Event?

World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc (NYSE:WWE) announced that WrestleMania 38 ranks as WWE’s highest-grossing and most-attended event in company history.

What Happened: The two-night weekend event saw 156,352 fans converge on AT&T Stadium in Dallas, surpassing the previous gate and attendance records set by WrestleMania 32 in 2016.

“The week provided an economic windfall for Dallas and proved once again that our city is a first-class host for major sporting events,” said Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson

Wrestlenomics reporter Brandon Thurston told his Twitter followers there were over 131,000 tickets distributed for the event.

 

WrestleMania 38 included a pair of women's title matches on Saturday, as Charlotte Flair faced off against Ronda Rousey, and Bianca Belair defeated Becky Lynch to regain her title. Also, in his first match in nearly two decades, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin battled Kevin Owens.

The second night of WrestleMania 38 featured Edge and AJ Styles facing off for the first time. "Jackass" star Johnny Knoxville made an appearance on Sunday, taking on Sami Zayn.

WrestleMania 39 will take place in Los Angeles at Sofi Stadium and Hollywood Park on April 1-2, 2023. Ticket information will be announced later this year.
