WWE Worried About WrestleMania 29 Buyrates

WrestleMania 29 may have been a visual spectacle, but F4WOnline is reporting that its pay-per-view buyrates may have been far from it. Three sources connected to the outlet say WWE officials are worried about the numbers the event drew.

Initial projections for the show went down following Elimination Chamber in February, which drew 221,000 buys. While this number was considered to be strong, it was far less than they had anticipated following an excellent buyrate with the Royal Rumble pay-per-view.

Though no number is known at this time, it is expected to nowhere near match last year’s WrestleMania buyrate. The 28th edition of WrestleMania drew in a record 1.27 million buys.
