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

#1 SummerSlam 1992

An event to remember

The biggest non-WrestleMania event in WWE’s history came in 1992. SummerSlam 1992 was attended by no lesser than 80,355 individuals in London, England.

The highest attended SummerSlam of all time was headlined by Bret Hart and The British Bulldog for the WWF Intercontinental Championship. At that time, the Intercontinental title was one of the biggest prizes in the company and was kept relevant by being battled for in main events too along with the other championships.

Not only did the event host one of the greatest main event matches in the company’s history, but also set a merchandise record, as over $1.4 million in sales were recorded with the live gate sales of $2.2 million.

Being one of the biggest main events ever held outside North America, WWE ensured that almost every major superstar of the era featured in the event making it even more successful.

The British Bulldog won the main event by pinning Hart to win the title as the crowd roared in appreciation.
