5 highest attendance figures at non-WrestleMania events in WWE history

#3 Super Show-Down 2018

Buddy Murphy won the Cruiserweight Championship

The Melbourne Cricket Ground is famously known as one of the largest cricket grounds in the world both in terms of its field and seating capacity. That must have been the reason why the WWE decided to hold its first massive pay-per-view in Australia in Melbourne.

70,309 wrestling fans showed up to fill the massive stadium which can house up to 100,024 spectators. The event received a lot of promotion as it was another big step for the WWE in a new region, and they received quite an encouraging response.

The event had some top-tier matches which were highlighted by Triple H and The Undertaker’s rematch billed as ‘The Last Time Ever’. With Shawn Michaels by his side, Triple H defeated The Undertaker in the No Disqualification match which saw Kane take The Undertaker’s side.

Other matches included The Miz vs Daniel Bryan, The Shield vs Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, and Braun Strowman, and AJ Styles vs Samoa Joe for the WWE Championship.

The IIconics, a female tag team from Australia, also got a chance to shine at the event as they won their match to the applause of the crowd. Buddy Murphy, another Australian native, also won his first CruiserWeight Championship at the event.
