Below are some top WWE news stories of the day.
• Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan were dominating the merch sales in the women’s division in WWE, but not anymore.
According to Billi Bhatti, WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton is the new #1 merch seller in the women’s division:
“WWE were getting very positive reactions for Tiffany Stratton from the crowd, and her merchandise sales were much bigger than the other women. This includes, of course, the Money In The Bank briefcase.
They recently witnessed similar-type sales with that type of price point product for the Penta mask. The Penta mask at $75 has done very, very well, in line with the Tiffany Stratton briefcase.”

• During an interview with USA Today, former WWE ring announcer Samantha Irvin revealed that her WWE story is not finished yet:
“That’s a guarantee. My wrestling career has barely even begun. I think it would be an absolute waste of everything that I’ve done so far to not continue the story. I gotta finish my story. Now, I want to just see creatively what else I can do. Hopefully, when I come back (to wrestling), I’ll bring even more value than I did before.”
After leaving WWE last year, Samantha said the following:
“I don’t like announcing. I’m serious! Announcing was only supposed to be my way in. I wanted to manage, maybe even become General Manager one day. But WWE saw no other future for me besides announcer. I love watching the action, but I don’t love being an announcer.”
