John Cena continues to prove his impact as WWE’s top attraction and a major name in sales. As the Royal Rumble 2025 approaches, WrestleTix, an X user that discusses wrestling company ticket sales, has seen a notable increase in ticket sales for the February 1 PLE at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
WWE Royal Rumble 2025 has officially sold over 54 thousand tickets, more than 3500 sold out since last Monday’s debut of RAW on Netflix when John Cena took the mic and confirmed his presence in the Rumble match. He wants to win a shot at the world championship and break the wrestling company’s record of 17 world titles.
Cena is the biggest box office draw in WWE
John Cena’s farewell tour has created a lot of emotions among the fans. We have reached a stage where it is clear that the person who has the opportunity to “see” the 16-time world champion will not miss it, even if he has to spend a lot of money. And is that the Royal Rumble 2025 has the most expensive tickets of the historic WWE events, if you try to look for tickets on Ticketmaster, they are on resale for $ 200 dollars.
For its part, X’s WrestleTix explained the John Cena effect, which sold more than 3,000 tickets when he announced his appearance at the PLE:
“John Cena is once again proving why he’s the top draw in the business at the box office. Since I began tracking major wrestling shows in 2021, his return for the ‘Summer of Cena’ added 2-3K tickets (at minimum) to every show he appeared on. Very few can replicate that today”, they posted on social media.
Neither The Rock nor Roman Reigns come close to the “you can’t see me” effect.
According to more information from WrestleTix, The Rock only comes close to John Cena when he is in the wrestling business, CM Punk moves the market in big cities like Los Angeles, New York and Chicago. Roman Reigns makes an impact in many places, but still has a long way to go to surpass Cena, while the undisputed champion, Cody Rhodes makes an impact in several places in the United States, but not at John’s level, this site confirms.
