The Sports Business Journal is reporting that last weekend's Royal Rumble show attracted the second-highest gate in the event's long history. It was also the second-largest live attendance WWE has pulled since crowds returned last year; SummerSlam 2021 retains top spot as the biggest.

Another interesting note is just how much merchandise the company shifted on Saturday night.

WWE sold a lot of t-shirts and other items at the Rumble, but who sold the most? According to the SBJ, four stars stood out from the pack and managed to rake it in with their merch. Royal Rumble winners Ronda Rousey and Brock Lesnar were amongst them - the other two were Roman Reigns and rapper Bad Bunny.

Bunny made WWE a ton of cash last year during his WrestleMania 37 stint. It appears he's on course to please Vince McMahon's accountants in 2022 as well, and the fact he ranked up there with top names like Lesnar, Rousey and Reigns suggests the musician ain't going anywhere pre-Dallas.

Reigns continues to be a top seller himself. He's the only full-timer of the bunch, which is also worth mentioning.
