Various: Main Event Results, Mysterio/Rousey YouTube Views, NJPW Sellout

Main Event Results

WWE taped these two matches for Main Event before Raw:

– Bayley defeated Sonya Deville

– Gran Metalik, Kalisto and Lince Dorado defeated Ariya Daivari, Jack Gallagher and TJP


Rey Mysterio Video vs. Ronda Rousey Video

As of right now, WWE’s Rey Mysterio Royal Rumble video from last night has 5.1 million views on YouTube, while the Ronda Rousey video has 1.9 million, so take that for what it’s worth. A lot of people might have seen the Rousey video elsewhere since it was a bigger mainstream story (and will no doubt bring more mainstream interest to WWE), but it looks like WWE’s fans were a lot more interested in Mysterio. The third most popular video from the Royal Rumble featured Trish Stratus and that had 1.6 million views.



NJPW in the US Sells Out Fast

New Japan Pro Wrestling’s “Strong Style Evolved” show on March 25 in Long Beach, California at The Walter Pyramid sold out in just 20 minutes.

The venue seats about 5,000 people.

NJPW was also in Long Beach (at a smaller venue) over the summer for the G1 Special.

That show aired in the US on AXS TV, so it seems likely that this show will also air on AXS.
