The grapplers hit it big on Peacock. WrestleMania XL, which took place April 6-7 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, is now Peacock’s most-streamed entertainment event ever with 1.3 billion live minutes across both nights.

Based on average minute audience, WrestleMania XL on April 6 saw a 26% increase versus last year’s day one performance. The April 7 installment registered a 30% increase vs. last year’s day two performance.

Saturday and Sunday combined to mark Peacock’s second-highest usage weekend of all-time, trailing only the weekend of the exclusive NFL Wild Card game.  

WrestleMania XL highlights included Cody Rhodes defeating Roman Reigns to win the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship on Sunday, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Roman Reigns defeating Cody Rhodes and Seth “Freakin” Rollins on Saturday.
