Tonight’s RAW Opening Revealed + Early Over The Limit Buyrate

Partial Source: The Pro Wrestling Torch

— WWE has announced that the anonymous RAW GM will open tonight’s show with the announcement of the consequences for the Nexus attacks.

— The preliminary PPV buy numbers for WWE Over the Limit are out: 229,000 buys. That puts it slightly ahead of Judgment Day last year (228,000). This figure includes international and domestic buys, and although the price in the US is $5 higher than last year the revenue may still be lower if there were more international viewers this year. Over the last four years the May PPV has hovered around the quarter million mark:

Judgment Day 2007: 242,000 buys
Judgment Day 2008: 252,000 buys
Judgment Day 2009: 228,000 buys
Over the Limit 2010: 229,000 buys (preliminary)
