Thanks to Brock Lesnar&#8217;s involvement, WWE Extreme Rules also delivered the company&#8217;s best marks in three years.<\/p>\n<p>Over The Limit narrowly lost to the 2010 show but handily beat the 2011 number, while No Way Out was up considerably over both.  Money in the Bank was down from 2011, although that was to be expected given the failure to replicate last year&#8217;s CM Punk title storyline.<\/p>\n<p>The company rebounded for Summerslam and Night of Champions, however.  Both drew better than the respective 2011 and 2010 shows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>WWE&#039;s PPV Hot Streak Continues; Night of Champions Rises Over Last Year<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Television ratings--particularly those for WWE RAW--have been abysmal in recent weeks, but pay-per-view news should continue making WWE executives smile.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2012\/10\/24\/wwes-ppv-hot-streak-continues-night-of-champions-rises-over-last-year\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"WWE&#039;s PPV Hot Streak Continues; Night of Champions Rises Over Last Year\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Television ratings--particularly those for WWE RAW--have been abysmal in recent weeks, but pay-per-view news should continue making WWE executives smile.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2012\/10\/24\/wwes-ppv-hot-streak-continues-night-of-champions-rises-over-last-year\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2012-10-25T04:26:20+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2012\/10\/24\/wwes-ppv-hot-streak-continues-night-of-champions-rises-over-last-year\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2012\/10\/24\/wwes-ppv-hot-streak-continues-night-of-champions-rises-over-last-year\/\",\"name\":\"WWE's PPV Hot Streak Continues; Night of Champions Rises Over Last Year\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2012-10-25T04:26:20+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2012-10-25T04:26:20+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"Television ratings--particularly those for WWE RAW--have been abysmal in recent weeks, but pay-per-view news should continue making WWE executives smile.\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2012\/10\/24\/wwes-ppv-hot-streak-continues-night-of-champions-rises-over-last-year\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News &amp; Charts, TV News &amp; Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
