The most recent edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter claims that the May 19 edition of “RAW” drew a huge attendance figure in London, England. According to this report, WWE sold out the O2 Arena, pulling in more than $1.2 million at the gate, making May 19’s event one of the highest grossing “Monday Night Raw” tapings of all time, if not the greatest.

Altough WWE announced that the attendance in the O2 Arena on May 19 was 16,991, there were honestly 15 thousand, which is still considered a sell-out crowd. The following is a list of attendance figures for the WWE European Tour as of May 21:
