NXT Stars On RAW Fallout, Real Attendance Numbers For WWE's Recent Japan Tour
- WWE NXT stars Adrian Neville, Sami Zayn, Tyler Breeze and Tyson Kidd are featured in a Fallout video from last night's RAW, as seen above.
- WWE's recent tour of Japan was not as successful as the numbers first indicated. WWE announced 6,176 and 12,000+ in attendance for the two shows at Sumo Hall in Tokyo and 6,048 for the show in Osaka. The second number for Sumo Hall is impossible as there are only 11,066 seats in the arena.
The Wrestling Observer reports that the actual in-building numbers were 5,000 and 11,000 for Sumo Hall and 5,000 for Osaka. WWE's business website, which reports real numbers for shareholders, noted that the three shows combined did around 14,000 paid attendance. With the tour being heavily papered, the actual paid numbers would be closer to 3,670 and 7,140 at Sumo Hall, and 3,600 for Osaka.
