At some point, I do think they should do Roman/Cody at Mania again simply to break the tie. But that shouldn’t be for a while

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has provided some details on the traditional pay-per-view buys for WWE Bad Blood 2024.

As many of you know by now, traditional pay-per-view buys often come from rural areas, with the majority of WWE fans streaming the events on Peacock.

The show had 12,400 traditional buys, which is up 47.2% from Bash in Berlin. It is also the highest number for a ‘B’ WWE pay-per-view event this year. Of those who bought WWE Bad Blood, 73.5% did not purchase Bash in Berlin. Additionally, only 6.9% also bought AEW WrestleDream 2024.

One source stated, “Cody is a workhouse champion who makes people happy they’ve engaged the product. Punk is the legit attraction he always wanted to be. The Bloodline business is booming.”​

Man, I don't remember the last time I read something on how many PPV buys the WWE did for a current event ​

It's basically just people in rural areas that have cable to buy but don't have good enough Internet for streaming. Even when I lived in one of those areas I dealt with the buffering bc like it's still $10 vs $60 or whatever the PPVs are lmao

I would buy AEW PPVs on cable over streaming then tho bc obviously no buffering and it was only $10 extra
