Cena No Longer The #1 WWE Merch Seller Empty Cena No Longer The #1 WWE Merch Seller

Post by Mr H Mon 03 Oct 2011, 1:36 pm

WrestleZone has confirmed that an internal memo sent to WWE staffers this week listed the top 10 merchandise sellers, and John Cena has been replaced for the first time in several years as the number one seller.

The new number one?

CM Punk.

According to the memo, Punk is the number one merchandise selling WWE Superstar both on WWE Shop Zone and at the live events. The only time Cena was not number one was when The Rock returned to WWE Monday Night Raw, and his t-shirts sold a record number on ShopZone.

According to a key source in WWE, two of Punk's shirts have already eclipsed the Rock's one-day sales record. "Punk's merchandise is hot," our source told us, "no one has dethroned Cena in over 5 years, and Punk's numbers are way above anything or anyone else."

Punks always been a good merch shifter to be fair, I think he was in the top 5 in 07/08 when he was stuck in ECW, while this is good news I think it will need to be a prolonged period before Cena is seen as anything other than the top guy

I might go home and order some Punk merch just to do my bit to keep Cena off the top.

I think alot depends on whether the under 16 demographic have been swayed. I havent noticed myself, but i wonder how many kids in the live crowds have got Punk t-shirts on? If Vince sees a range of Punk fans from junior to adult then he'll have no choice but to accept that Punk is a serious threat to Cena as the No1 guy. Only then would there be any remote possibilty of a Cena heel turn.

No! Because his tribute shirts would go through the roof! Michael Jackson was the best selling artist of 2009 after he died!

On another note KB, WTF is going on at SJP? We're flying. Bit lucky at the weekend mind you.

That was the right decision too. I hate X-Factor. LONG LIVE RATM AND LONG LIVE PUNK.

I think that it's about time! The Best In The World shirts were going to sell like crazy after MITB. I'm personally waiting for the "He Spilt My Diet Soda" shirts Wink

This is why he's currently the top seller. He has so many images and catchphrases that could be put on a t-shirt, that he might just stay there a while if WWE capitalised on it.
