Battle News reported the attendance for the two WWE house shows at Tokyo Sumo Hall this weekend. The event on July 1 was before 8,506 fans. Attendance for the July 2 show was slightly higher: 8,764. Depending on the configuration, this could have been close to a sell-out. The Tokyo Sumo Hall holds around 10,000 attendees when most Japanese promotions run there, although WWE probably blocks off more seats for their entrance stage.
