• Top 3 Merch Draws From WrestleMania 42 Revealed, WWE Blown Away By Surprising Name
The results are in for the top merchandise sellers at WrestleMania 42, and while the usual big names dominated, there was one major surprise on the list.
According to Fightful Select, these rankings only track sales for specific wrestlers inside the stadium. They don’t count general items like WrestleMania t-shirts or replica title belts.
1. CM Punk: After headlining Night 2 for the first time in his career, Punk took the #1 spot. Since returning to WWE, he has consistently been one of the company’s biggest merch-movers, and this weekend was no different.
2. Cody Rhodes: Coming in at #2 was The American Nightmare. The Undisputed WWE Champion has topped these lists for years, and even after headlining his fourth straight WrestleMania, his popularity with the fans remains massive.
3. Danhausen: The biggest shock of the weekend was Danhausen taking the #3 spot. His merchandise sold so fast that staff had to restock his items several times. WWE was reportedly blown away by his numbers, which is why he was quickly added to the upcoming Fanatics Fest lineup.
