Former Impact World Champion LA Knight is making waves in WWE, and it’s not just in the ring.
According to data from Wrestlenomics, Knight’s merchandise has been flying off the shelves on WWE’s online shop, even surpassing sales of top WWE stars like John Cena, Cody Rhodes, and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.
Wrestlenomics’ estimates reveal that LA Knight has had a remarkable 71 items featured in the daily top-10 rankings on WWE’s online shop. His black “YEAH” shirt, in particular, has spent an impressive 30 days on the top-10 list. It’s worth noting that this data is based on traffic and rankings, and the actual volume of merchandise sold wasn’t factored into the study.
Knight’s rise to prominence in WWE has been evident in recent weeks. He scored a significant victory over John Cena at WWE Payback, and he’s now set to team up with Cena against Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso at WWE Fastlane. Knight’s performance in the SummerSlam Battle Royal also solidified his position as the face of WWE’s partnership with Slim Jim.
Despite reportedly having contract that runs through 2025, there are rumors that LA Knight is in the midst of contract renegotiations. His impressive merchandise sales and rising stock within WWE make him a valuable asset for the company, and fans can expect to see more of him in the coming months.
LA Knight’s merchandise sales have been incredibly strong, surpassing those of top WWE stars like John Cena, Cody Rhodes, and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin on WWE’s online shop. How do you think his rising popularity and merchandise sales will impact his future within the WWE and the wrestling industry as a whole? Leave us a comment.
