The merchandise business is one of WWE’s paramount sources of income. Through the years, top talents such as The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, John Cena, and many more have been instrumental in facilitating the sale of their merchandise and earning millions for WWE. It is also a way to measure a certain superstar’s power and popularity in the business. Although Stone Cold Steve Austin isn’t an active wrestler anymore, he continues to make a lot of money for the company through merch sales.
It’s a no-brainer that WWE’s poster boy Roman Reigns is, hands down, the top merch seller in the company today. Ever since Cody Rhodes’ return to the company, fans can’t get enough of him and his merch, which also makes him one of the top merch sellers in the company.
