New attendance data for this past April’s WWE WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas has been revealed, leaving potential detractors without much to talk about.

Wrestlenomics’ Brandon Thurston reported on Wednesday that the Las Vegas Stadium Authority provided documentation showing Saturday’s attendance at 58,538 and Sunday’s at 60,103 for a combined 118,641.

Thurston noted that it’s “unclear if these figures reflect tickets distributed or ticket sales, or whether suite attendees are included in the totals.”

The numbers announced by WWE were 60,151 for Saturday (April 19th) and 61,389 for Sunday (April 20th) for a combined 121,540. The respective discrepancies between the LVSA data and WWE’s were 2.3% for Saturday, 2.1% for Sunday, and 2.4% overall.

The Wrestlenomics report also noted that according to LVSA data, 81% of attendees for Saturday came from out of town while Sunday’s mark was 84%. Additionally, the two nights were the most attended in Allegiant Stadium for Q2, beating out concerts by Post Malone, Kendrick Lamar, Coldplay, AC/DC, and Shakira.

WrestleMania will return to Las Vegas this April once again.

WWE WrestleMania night two notes: More celebrities, announced attendance

Here are some news and notes from Sunday’s second night of WWE WrestleMania 41 action from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Celebrities in the house

Much like during night one, a large amount of celebrities and luminaries were shown on-screen for the second night.

The list included comedian Tony Hinchcliffe who will host The Roast of WrestleMania Sunday night; musicians Flavor Flav, Ava Max, Quavo, and Rich The Kid; music producer Metro Boomin; Jahmyr Gibbs of the NFL’s Detroit Lions; former UFC two-division champion Daniel Cormier, current UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili and UFC fighter Colby Covington; boxer Terence Crawford, and actors Dean Norris, Vanessa Hudgens (also at night one), and Rana Daggubati.

Additionally, Slayer guitarist Kerry King played Damian Priest down to the ring. King plays the guitar for Priest’s entrance theme with his South of Heaven finisher named for a Slayer song.

Attendance

“Stone Cold” Steve Austin was the legend designated to give the attendance for the evening: a sold-out 63,226 and a two-night attendance of 124,693. As of 4 PM EST, WrestleTix reported just over 60,000 distributed with a setup of just over 60,000.

Much like night one, the announced number is shy of the 63,969 for the 2024 Vegas Kickoff Classic between USC and LSU but more than the 61,629 announced for that same year’s Super Bowl. Night one’s attendance was announced as 61,467.

Before he did that, he managed to drive his four-wheeler into a barricade which appeared to knock a woman down. After Austin did his business, WWE head Nick Khan was seen checking on the woman.

WrestleMania Debuts

After Jacob Fatu, Tiffany Stratton and Rey Fenix made their official WrestleMania debuts Saturday, even more made their first in-ring appearance on the big stage Sunday.

TNA World Champion Joe Hendry answered the open challenge to take on Randy Orton following Kevin Owens’ neck injury. Even though he isn’t under WWE contract, it’s the second major PLE Hendry has appeared at in 2025 following his debut at the Royal Rumble.

After Fenix debuted Saturday, Penta made his debut Sunday, failing to win the WWE Intercontinental title in a four-way. That match featured Bron Breakker, who also made his WrestleMania debut in losing the belt to Dominik Mysterio.

Reigning Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria made her WrestleMania debut memorable by winning the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles with the returning Becky Lynch.

WWE WrestleMania 41 notes: Celebrities, announced attendance, Rey Fenix

Here are some news and notes from Saturday’s night one of WWE WrestleMania 41.

Celebrities in the house

As expected, a who’s who of celebrities were at the first night including NFL star George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers, musicians Jelly Roll and Lil Yachty, UFC head Dana White (who was booed the second time he was shown on camera), actor Stephen Amell, podcaster Bill Simmons, former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, magician Criss Angel, music producer Rick Rubin, and TKO executives.

WrestleMania 41 attendance

Shawn Michaels announced night one was attendance was a sellout of 61,467. At 9 AM Saturday morning, WrestleTix estimated a distributed number of just under 56,000 with a setup for just over 57,000.

The announced number is shy of the 63,969 for the 2024 Vegas Kickoff Classic between USC and LSU and a few hundred behind the 61,629 for that same year’s Super Bowl.

WrestleMania in-ring debuts

A year ago, Rey Fenix was readying for his return to the AEW ring after dealing with injuries to his back and hip — ones he called the worst of his career.

Fast forward to Saturday night and Fenix came in as an injury replacement for Rey Mysterio who tore his groin in a trios match on Friday’s SmackDown, making his WrestleMania debut in the process. He still fell in defeat to El Grande Americano who continues his war with his, ahem, fellow luchadores.

Fenix wasn’t the only one to make their WrestleMania debuts Saturday as WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton picked up a successful title defense against Charlotte Flair. Stratton competed in a dark match on the SmackDown before WrestleMania just over a year ago.

Jacob Fatu made his first WrestleMania a big one as he defeated LA Knight for the WWE United States title — his first singles belt in WWE.
