WrestleMania 42’s Big Hitters REVEALED (WWE News)
Who sold the most merchandise at WWE WrestleMania 42?
With WrestleMania 42 now in the books, there's news on which WWE talents moved the most merchandise during 'Mania Weekend.
Per Fightful Select, CM Punk was the top-selling star at Allegiant Stadium last weekend, with this report adding that the Second City Saint has had strong merchandise numbers throughout his entire second run with WWE. Of course, Punk walked into WrestleMania 42 as the defending World Heavyweight Champion, losing that belt to Roman Reigns in the Sunday main event.
In second place, WWE Champion Cody Rhodes was edged out by Punker. For Rhodes, he walked in and out with his gold, headlining on Saturday in what was his fifth WrestleMania main event.
Behind CM Punk and Cody Rhodes, the wrestler with the third-highest merchandise number was Danhausen. The Very Nice, Very Evil star has been a revelation since joining WWE earlier this year, and WWE and Fanatics were said to be "blown away" by how much demand(hausen) there was for Danhausen merch, with that merch needing to be restocked several times.
For long-time Danhausen fans, it's great to see the 6'7", 300 lbs powerhouse getting an opportunity on the biggest stage imaginable, while those not previously familiar with Danhausen continue to be won over by the Mockingbird Lane resident's unique brand of professional wrestling entertainment. As those strong reactions to Danhausen don't look like fading any time soon, he finds himself as one of those rare talents who are a regular on both Raw and SmackDown each and every week.
Love that Danhausen.
