While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that tickets have been moving well recently.
“So ever since [Friday’s SmackDown], the tickets have started to really pick up, ever since Friday, which kind of tells you as far as Roman Reigns-Jey Uso, you know, making it official and everything like that. They’ve topped 45,000, and they’re moving pretty good. So they’re gonna, we’re a couple of weeks away. I think they’re gonna get to 50 [000] and maybe….products super hot. The Roman Reigns-Jey Uso angle is exceedingly strong.”
