Before he had his final match, The Champ did a few things that fans had been waiting for, for a really long time!

Now, according to live event trade publication Pollstar, the number of tickets sold for Night 2 has been revealed. WWE sold tickets worth $6,553,883 for Night 2. This marked the biggest ever arena gate of all time in the Stamford-based promotion’s history.

Before this, the record was held by WrestleMania V. However, now John Cena’s final WrestleMania has taken over that position even after adjusting for inflation.
