Cody Rhodes has been one of WWE’s top stars for a long time now, and it shows in how well his merchandise has sold over the past year. However, Rhea Ripley has now revealed that Cody actually gets “mad” when she outsells him in merchandise.
While speaking on Stephanie’s Places, Stephanie McMahon told Rhea Ripley that how popular a wrestler is can often be seen in how well their merchandise is selling, and that Rhea is topping the charts, even beating Cody Rhodes, saying, “Often, how over you are is shown by how well your merch is selling. You’re topping the charts, beating Cody.”
Rhea Ripley responded by revealing that The American Nightmare sometimes gets mad about it and sends her messages now and then, admitting that she beat him that week. The Eradicator admitted that she loves it whenever Rhodes does that, saying, “He gets so mad sometimes. I get a message every now and then—he’ll be like, ‘You got me this week.’ I love it.”
This might not come as any surprise for fans of Rhea Ripley, as she is undoubtedly one of the biggest Superstars in WWE right now, and her popularity only continues to grow each and every week.
The friendly merch rivalry between Cody Rhodes and Rhea Ripley shows just how popular both of them are with WWE fans. A bit of backstage teasing only adds to the fun. Therefore, we’ll have to wait and see who comes out on top in merchandise sales this month.
