A year ago Cody came up short against Reigns, but set a record for selling the most merchandise of all time at a WrestleMania event.

Well that record has now been broken by Cody himself. Fightful Select reports that between WWE World and WWE Shop, $1 million of Cody merchandise was sold throughout WrestleMania weekend. This was revealed via an internal memo from WWE to several members of its organization.​

that's great, though idk if that counts as a record if your addidng wwe world on top of the online sales which was the previous record,. i assume.

that aside, Cody is the merch king, sorry Phillip!

 

[Jimmy King]

For anyone that cares or is interested in this sort of thing

 

[Dale]

I don't care for them personally, but seeing Rhea/Bex at 4.25 when both had their issues going into the match is a surprise.

 

[Cwalker]

These boys cooking on all cylinders

Logan Paul gonna get those mythical 7 stars one day......just you wait.

 

[Cwalker]

Miz can officially say he’s had a 4 star Match at Mania.

 

[Smart Marx]

Cody gives raw its first 2/3 in literal ages and then he draws $1 million merchandise gate this week? He is him.

 

[Smart Marx]

I think Dave could’ve just given Cody the five-star, but I don’t wanna split hairs that’s still a great rating.

I’m not too worried about the actual record but the fact that they did $1 million gate on Cody merchandise alone is fucking impressive. If I’m WWE and I’m looking at this I’m never doubting that Cody is my guy.

surely that mania win was him being anointed as the new FotC

 

[Cwalker]

He’s definitely “the guy”

Probably will be til they’re ready to crown Bron

It’s honestly surprising how often WWE will anoint somebody for the win, but then won’t give them the actual baton to run with, but I think this time they will.

 

[Comrade Khan]

I don't think Bron's ceiling is fotc level star personally but I'll certainly be interested to see where he is at in 5 years
