As WWE continues to phase out their standalone PPV business, WWE reported $3.5 million in PPV revenue during the Second Quarter 2015. WrestleMania was not included since it occurred in the First Quarter.

Each of the three Q2-2015 PPVs (excluding the Elimination Chamber Network special) drew about the same number of buys, which were mainly from international sources.

Extreme Rules was essentially cut in-half from 108,000 Network-era PPV buys last year to 56,000 this year. Same for Money in the Bank going from 122,000 Network-era buys last year to 57,000 buys this year.
