WrestleMania is often described as the “Super Bowl” of the wrestling industry. And WrestleMania 39 proved that fact.
WrestleMania 38 set the bar high for this year’s April Extravaganza. Many people wondered if The Showcase Of The Immortals this year would live up to the hype. Not only did it prove to be one of the best, if not the best WrestleMania ever, but it also broke numerous records. Recently Triple H announced on social media that The Show of Shows this year is the most successful WrestleMania of all time.

This amount of viewership is the highest that any WWE PPV event, or in fact any edition of WrestleMania has ever gotten.
