WWE is truly the global juggernaut of professional wrestling as they have a connection with fans that no other promotion in the world has. That’s why it comes as no surprise WWE surpassed all other sports in sales at the Fanatics Fest convention in New York City.
At the ongoing Fanatics Fest NYC event, WWE has emerged as a standout performer, surpassing other sports in sales. According to Fox News, WWE Superstars have been the only group to sell out all their photograph and autograph opportunities amidst a crowded field of sports stars in New York City.
This achievement is particularly notable given the presence of legendary athletes such as Barry Sanders, Cal Ripken Jr., Adrian Peterson, and Jerry Rice at the convention. WWE host Peter Rosenberg expressed his enthusiasm about WWE’s success, pointing out the impressive growth of the company.
“The company growth has been insane. It’s been one of the great times in the history of the company… seeing where it’s gone from when I first got in the door to where we are now, it’s been an amazing time.”
On the first day of the three-day event, many celebrities showed their love for WWE. Rob Gronkowski received a WWE Legacy Championship from CM Punk, and Derek Jeter was also given a championship. Tom Brady made a memorable entrance inspired by Hulk Hogan at the WWE area in the Javits Center.
On the second day, WWE continued to shine with appearances from legends like Rey Mysterio and Triple H. We will have to wait and see how the third day of the Fanatics Fest will turn out, as WWE certainly has more surprises in store for fans.
