Cody Rhodes has been positioned as one of WWEs biggest stars, but a new claim suggests the companys merchandise numbers might tell a different story. Speaking on The Dirty Sheets podcast, Billi Bhatti challenged the narrative that Rhodes sits at the top of WWEs merchandise rankings. According to Bhatti, both his personal observations at WWE events and conversations with sources suggest that CM Punk is actually the stronger seller. Bhatti explained that one of the easiest ways to gauge merchandise demand at WWE shows comes from signed photos that are sold at arena stands for top talent. He said hes had plenty of opportunities to observe the situation firsthand while attending events with his son, who collects the photos. Bhatti then explained why those items can reveal which stars are actually moving merchandise during the night. Based on what he claims to have seen at live events, Bhatti believes Rhodes merchandise has often remained available even after shows conclude. He contrasted that with what he says happens when it comes to CM Punk merchandise. Bhatti said he eventually reached out to sources to find out what the numbers actually look like behind the scenes. According to Bhatti, the information he received pointed to Punk selling significantly more merchandise than Rhodes. He added that the gap extends across other categories of merchandise as well. Bhatti made it clear that Rhodes is still moving merchandise, but he rejected the idea that the Undisputed WWE Champion is the companys clear top seller. The claim is sure to spark debate among fans as WWE heads deeper into WrestleMania season with Rhodes positioned at the center of the companys main event scene. Do you think CM Punk is actually WWEs biggest merchandise seller right now, or is Cody Rhodes still the companys top draw? Let us know what you think and leave your feedback in the comments.
