Cody Rhodes Falls Short in WWE Atlanta Merchandise Sales

The Bad Blood Premium Live Event took place at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia and the show was headlined by Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns teaming up to face The Bloodline. Rhodes is obviously a huge merchandise seller, so it was expected he would top the merchandise sales in Atlanta, but it appears that was not the case.

The show featured many unforgettable moments, including Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns winning against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu, aided by a returning Jimmy Uso. The night took a surprising turn when The Rock made a shocking comeback and The Great One set up his next program with Cody Rhodes as well.

Fightful Select reports that Cody Rhodes did not lead the merchandise sales in WWE for Atlanta, according to their internal charts. Instead, he ranked second, while the top spot went to merchandise related to “WWE/Bad Blood,” which includes WWE or Bad Blood-branded items like title belts.

While this might be somewhat shocking to fans who expected Cody Rhodes to top merchandise sales, it’s still a testament to his drawing power that he still secured the second spot. Nonetheless, WWE will continue to promote Rhodes as much as possible and that’s all that matters.
