WWE PPV Social Media Tracking

– July 24: Battleground ranked #1 in Nielsen’s Twitter TV Ratings Sunday night with the following metrics.

Battleground generated 311,000 tweets from 49,000 unique authors, for an average of 6.3 tweets per person.

Last month, Nielsen did not release metrics for Money in the Bank to compare to the previous PPV.

Going back to Extreme Rules in May, Battleground attracted fewer unique authors, but there was a significant jump in total tweets.

It points to Battleground not drawing in more people than usual talking about the PPV, but the people who were drawn in tweeted more about the show.
