Details on Traditional PPV Buys, Google Interest For WWE King & Queen of the Ring

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has details on the traditional PPV buys for WWE King & Queen of the Ring, which happened last Saturday in Saudi Arabia. Of course, WWE gets most of its views from Peacock and the WWE Network internationally. Traditional PPV is more reserved for rural markets or customers without internet access these days.

It had around 4,850 PPV buys, above 23.7% from Backlash earlier in the month. It was down 18.1% from Elimination Chamber.

Of those who bought the Jeddah show, 11.3% also bought AEW Double or Nothing. 42% bought Backlash, 2.4% bought Canelo Alvarez vs. Jaime Munguia and 1.8% bought TNA Rebellion.

Google search interest was lower than usual, as it did not hit the top twenty. WWE shows typically get around 200,000 searches and Backlash previously did 100,000. The threshold to hit the top 20 that day was 20,000 and it didn’t hit that mark.
