WWE have their house in order when it comes to merchandise, so there's a good chance the company had John Cena t-shirts ready to sell following the star's shocking WrestleMania return. Similarly, the 'Dallas 3:16' shirt worn by Steve Austin must have sold by the truckload at merchandise stands peppered around the AT&T Stadium.

In total, vendors pulled in an incredible $4.5 million in sales at the event. That's an mind-boggling amount of money, up $1.2 million from WrestleMania 31, representing a 37% increase. It wasn't only with merch that WWE pulled in revenue, ticket sales also provided a healthy sum of money for company coffers too.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the actual attendance figure for the event, WWE can boast a return of $17.3 million from ticket sales alone. This means that WrestleMania 32, was the highest grossing single event in WWE history, pulling in well over $20 million in profits for the promotion.
