Sports Business Journal’s Austin Karp, on The Sports Media Podcast, noted that that ESPN saw a massive spike in sign ups for their app around the first WWE PLE Wrestlepalooza in September citing an Antenna report.
Karp, a top SBJ reporter, commented, "You can see the spikes when NFL started, when college football started, and particularly late in September when ESPN had its first PLE, Wrestlepalooza really seeing a spike there in signups. So, I thought it was a really good start there for those two services."
ESPN has not officially released any numbers.
