This past Tuesday, the WWE released their monthly business figures. Those figures include preliminary ppv buys for that given month. According to the figures for this year's SummerSlam, headlined by Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar, the ppv drew 350,000 buys.
These preliminary numbers are an increase of nearly 20% over last year's SummerSlam, headlined by a rushed CM Punk vs. John Cena rematch, and are dead even with the 2010 show, headlined by Team WWE vs. The Nexus.
While Lesnar's participation hasn't added mind boggling numbers to either the Extreme Rules or SummerSlam ppvs, the numbers have still been strong and significantly higher than the shows of last year.
