WWE NXT Live Philadelphia: 11 Interesting Observations
10. Balor Club Merchandise Was EVERYWHERE
Everywhere I turned Wednesday night, it was impossible not to notice the intense support for one Finn Balor. The NXT champion had to enjoy a profitable night at the merchandise stands as his Balor Club t-shirts not only were selling at a swift rate, but fans were arriving to the show already decked out in t-shirts and hoodies. The franchise star, it really is no surprise that Balor was so well represented in the stands. What was, though, was that the ratio his merchandise surpassed other immensely popular stars like Bayley, Enzo and Big Cass and even Samoa Joe. At a time when WWE is looking for a merchandise seller to eclipse John Cena, they should concentrate their effort on throwing the Balor Club logo on whatever they can because there are a wealth of fans eager to eat it up.
