Last weekend was a big one for the stars of WWE as the Royal Rumble aired live from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN. It appears that the show was a huge success as WWE issued a press stating that it was the highest-grossing non-WrestleMania event of all-time.
Fightful Select reports that sources close to Fanatics and WWE confirmed the top four in merch sales for Royal Rumble weekend. Generic branded WWE and Royal Rumble merchandise was the top seller, and that’s usually the case.
When it comes to talent it was John Cena who took the top spot from Cody Rhodes. The American Nightmare has claimed the top spot for the majority of the last few years, but he was number two for talent and number three for overall merch sales over Royal Rumble weekend.
Jey Uso was the third biggest merch seller for talent and his online merchandise sales went through the roof after he won the Royal Rumble match. It was hinted, but stated outright that Roman Reigns rounded out the top five. Alexa Bliss merchandise also performed well following her return.
