Just How Much Did John Cena Help WWE Ticket Sales (It’s A Lot)

He’s still got it. There are very few stars in the history of professional wrestling near the level of John Cena. While he might have moved on to Hollywood for the most part these days, Cena is still the biggest name in wrestling and the reactions he has received since his latest WWE return would offer some proof of his superstar power. Now we have something a bit more concrete.

According to F4WOnline.com, Cena’s return to WWE live events have had a positive impact on ticket sales. This weekend’s live event in Fort Myers, Florida saw 63% of its sales after Cena was announced for the show. Shows in Louisville, Milwaukee and Detroit have all seen 50% increases in ticket sales since Cena was announced. Cena is currently advertised to appear until the September 10 New York City SmackDown.

Cena has been a big deal since he returned. Check out what he has been doing this time around:

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that should not be a surprise as Cena really is a legendary star, but at the same time, it shows you how little fans care about the current regular WWE roster. These events are taking place after a year plus hiatus for live crowds and you would think that fans would be ready to come back in droves. That does not seem to be the case outside of Cena though, and that should be scary going forward.
