Joe Otterson TV Reporter The 2023 installment of WWE’s Money in the Bank pay-per-view has officially become the highest-grossing arena event in WWE history, the company announced Wednesday.

Both shows took place at the famed O2 Arena in London and collectively grossed more than $5.4 million, per WWE. Money in the Bank 2023 also set new records in a number of other areas, including a nine percent jump in sponsorship revenue compared to the record set in 2022. Viewership, meanwhile, was up 17% from last year’s record, while the event generated the highest gross for venue merchandise in WWE history. It also set a record for On Location fan experience packages, making it the higest-grossing non-WrestleMania event for such packages in company history.
