#3 Most Pay Per View buys: WrestleMania XXVIII
The night after WrestleMania 27, The Rock and John Cena announced that they would face off one year later at the main event of WrestleMania 28.
The news was a huge shock to fans, as never had a major main-event been announced a year in advance, making the 2012 edition of the Showcase of the Immortals a must-see for fans.
Indeed, WrestleMania 28 drew a record-high 1.217 million buys, as fans shelled out their hard earned money to see The Brahma Bull defeat Cena in Miami.
But now, the WWE Network has practically killed off pay per view buys in the company, as fans are rightly seeing US$9.99 a month for a pay per view and other content, better than US$50 on one show.
Perhaps this number would've been eclipsed if the Network wasn't around, but we'll never know.
