WWE RAW ticket sales in London doing well but way down on 2025 number, here’s why
WWE RAW will be taking place live from the O2 Arena in London, England on Monday, June 22nd 2026. While ticket sales for the show are doing quite well about a month or so out, it is still way down on the tickets sold the last time the company ran the venue in 2025.
9,477 tickets have been distributed for the show, according to the latest report from WrestleTix (as of writing). The number of tickets available on the venue map sit at 16,868, but the current setup is around 11,835 when you factor in current staging and areas that are currently closed off.
The last time that the company ran the building was 3/31/2025, which again was for an episode of Raw. That show saw 16,276 tickets distributed. That could be classed near enough as a sell out of the building, and although we’re just under a month out, it is very unlikely that WWE will reach that number again.
Why is WWE RAW in London not going to sell as well as last year?
There are a number of contributing factors that you really need to bear in mind here. The March 31st episode of the show was part of the build-up to WrestleMania, and just at the start of the John Cena heel turn.
It cannot be overstated just how important the John Cena Retirement Tour was for the company last year, especially from January’s Royal Rumble to WrestleMania, with the Cena heel turn at Elimination Chamber creating a massive amount of buzz (initially).
Telling fans in England this was their last time to see Cena live was a big draw for the show. The company just does not have that sort of driver now to get people into the buildings, at least at that level. A cost-of-living crisis in the UK has also not helped, with many having to make cuts to their entertainment spending due to global market issues driving the price of oil and other necessities up.
