We reported last week here on eWn that New Japan World set several records after the Wrestle Kingdom 15 event.
According to a report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the service had over 130,000 subscribers for the first time ever. This is the second largest increase for the Tokyo Dome show ever, as it had over 20,000 on the week of Wrestle Kingdom. The record is still 40,000, set in 2018 due to interest in the Kenny Omega vs. Chris Jericho match.
The subscriber increase this time around is likely due to how many people wanted to see the event but couldn’t attend live due to the ongoing pandemic.
