CM Punk’s return to WWE has garnered significant attention and engagement across various social media platforms. Naturally, fans are excited, and they are also opening up their wallets in a big way.
The Second City Savior’s comeback at Survivor Series and subsequent promo on Raw generated considerable buzz in the wrestling world. As Ringside News exclusively reported, CM Punk is currently listed as a free agent, allowing him to appear on both Raw and SmackDown. He is expected to make an appearance on the upcoming Raw episode, and he is assigned to the RAW brand for now.
The impact of Punk’s return on WWE’s viewership is notable, as the latest episode of Raw drew an average of 1.884 million viewers, with an average rating of 0.65 in the 18-49 demo on the USA Network. This marked an increase from the previous week’s viewership of 1.459 million and a demo rating of 0.49, making it the highest-rated key demo since the Raw after WrestleMania 39.
According to a post from Wrestle Features, CM Punk’s new t-shirt has gained immense popularity on WWE Shop, ranking among the top three best-selling t-shirts for men, youth, and women. His presence continues to make a significant impact on WWE’s audience and merchandise sales.
The current top selling t-shirts on WWE Shop:
1: CM Punk t-shirt (youth)
2: CM Punk t-shirt (women’s)
3: CM Punk t-shirt (men’s)
4: La Knight t-shirt (men’s)
5: Jey Uso t-shirt (men’s)
LA Knight was dominating WWE’s merchandise sales numbers prior to CM Punk’s return. Knight is still on the list, but it’s obvious that Punk has taken over.
WWE also dropped a new line of CM Punk merchandise, including Survivor Series plaques. Only time will tell how much they add to his store, but it’s sadly too late to get any Christmas ornaments out in time for this year.
