The Rock can arguably be considered as a huge part of the massive success enjoyed by WWE’s premier event this weekend, WrestleMania 40 with The Great One having the privilege to announce the smashing records it clinched.

The Rock took to his X to begin stating that over 140,000 fans in Philadelphia were in attendance for The Show of Shows and its festivities. Following that, he mentioned WrestleMania 40 being the highest-grossing and selling event in the history of WWE which was around 78% up from WrestleMania 39 last year.

In terms of viewership, WrestleMania 40 became the most viewed show both on live television (41% up from last year) and social media with over 700 Million social viewers in the first 48 hours.

The Rock was on the victory side at WrestleMania 40 Saturday teaming up with Roman Reigns to defeat Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, making the main event for Night 2 a Bloodline Rules match.

Of course, Cody Rhodes defied all odds and ended Roman Reigns’ historic title to become the new WWE Champion, while also leaving the door open for a potential future feud with The Rock following the events that transpired on the RAW after WrestleMania 40.
