WWE Royal Rumble is in the books, and the company’s merchandise did very well in sales.
Contacts close to Fanatics and WWE spoke with Fightful and confirmed the top 4 in sales for the event and weekend. Generic and Royal Rumble branded WWE merch was the top seller, which is usually the case. This includes Royal Rumble shirts, title belts and the like.
As far as talent, John Cena unseated Cody Rhodes for the top spot for talent,, after Cody has largely led the way the majority of the last couple of years. Rhodes ended up number two for talent and three overall. Jey Uso was third for talent and fourth overall, and his merchandise went through the roof online after his Royal Rumble win.
It was hinted at, but not outright stated that Roman Reigns rounded out the top 5.
