Do people even know what the main event/card is for a house show when they are purchasing tickets? I know I never knew what the exact card was whenever I went to a house show. That stat..

:kobe
Yeah the main event gets promoted all the time for house shows on local TV commercials.

I would question where these shows are being held. WWE may be sending their B and C shows to larger metropolitan areas like NYC knowing that they'll still get the numbers and sending their A shows to smaller areas hoping they can get people to travel out of the wood-works so they can increase sales.
Also the A headliner may have a weaker under-card while the B show may be stronger from start to finish. Just some thoughts.

Next thing, Rains fans will start saying that Kane is the draw not Ambrose, or that people came to see los matadores... :ti

rumang rains = the look

Seth Rollins = the skills


DEAN AMBROSE = THE DRAW
"It should be noted that most of the Ambrose main events were actually shows sold with Reigns as the top star when tickets were put on sale and for WWE, most tickets are sold the first few days."


Funny how such information was left out :)

The anti-Reigns crew will be all over this (I myself am impartial but there's no way he's ready for the spot he's about to get and even he knows it).

Say what you want about Cena but he still does strong numbers in the paid gates and it's nice seeing Ambrose drawing the biggest number with Kane.

Saying all of this though, I wouldn't read too much into these figures. There's more factors than just the main event that sell tickets in WWE these days (the brand alone will see kids drive their parents crazy for tickets).

So in interest level, the US house show audience favor the combos of

Ambrose/Kane

Reigns/Orton

Cena/Rollins

Ambrose/Wyatt

The most as far as the entire year goes...Thankfully for Reigns, those numbers were done before Summerslam when he was still red hot on his own.

before the injury believe it was supposed to be Reigns/Kane (since Orton does limited house shows now apparently)

I don't hate Reigns, but I think that Ambrose or Rollins (Wyatt too) are more ready for the Main Event role than him.

He's not ready and he's gonna be pushed like If he was better than the others(I honestly believe that he is not better than the others members in anything) Can he be better? Sure. Is he ready NOW? No and I strongly believe he won't be at WM 31 time.

OP conveniently failed to mention most of Ambrose's house shows were brought in advanced when Roman was the top star on the card. Roman got injured so Dean took over. Those are mostly Romans sells lol

The only thing I take from this outside the mark war.... Cena isn't the top draw! Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

I'm an Ambrose fan, but whenever I attended the Belfast house-show he headlined last month, it was abundantly clear that people came to see the WWE brand rather than any particular top star. I heard a few families who thought Cena would be there (he was on the other crew), and the video-wall they had hooked up to the Twitter feed posted the occasional comment about people looking forward to seeing Reigns or Orton (both initially advertised, then swapped out). As it happens, Ziggler got the biggest face reactions on that house-show, but Ambrose was accepted as a legitimate headliner during his main-event match (a handicap against Kane & Wyatt).

All that said, I think the WWE name means far more than any star -- most of the casuals in attendance are just going to see 'wrestling' rather than a particular wrestler, and some of them think they're going to a TV taping when it's a house-show.
