Speaking of the word story, it has been a staple word when it comes to the American Nightmare’s promos. Ever since his Royal Rumble 2023 victory, his resolve to finish the story that his father started to win the WWE title, has been fervent. Despite suffering a loss at WrestleMania 39 and encountering serious foes like the Beast, Brock Lesnar.

Cody’s recent victories over opponents who posed threats to Roman Reigns’ title reign send a strong message. Additionally, his alliance with former Bloodline member Jey Uso in winning the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Title raises questions about his intentions toward the Tribal Chief. Could this partnership be a strategic move to gain an advantage over Reigns?

Cody Rhodes’ merchandise hit an incredible milestone

Every superstar in WWE is a brand in themselves. Their persona is expressed through various means like catchphrases, signs, logos, ring gear, and even their merchandise. Face wrestlers like Cody Rhodes, John Cena, Jey Uso, and many others are usually the bestsellers in this case. Recently, the American Nightmare’s merchandise achieved a new milestone.

Cody was able to outsell the generic WWE merchandise at certain live events. Outselling basic logo t-shirts, merchandise, and belt replicas is something that doesn’t happen too often.

It should be noted that a lot of sales for Cody Rhodes come from the sale of his customized weight belts. Since his return in 2022, his weight belts have become iconic merchandise for the WWE Shop.

Recently, as John Cena returned, he has dwarfed the sales of the American Nightmare’s merchandise. Lately, it has been a see-saw for Rhodes’ and Cena’s merchandise, when it comes to being the bestsellers. Cody Rhodes is set to face Damian Priest of the Judgement Day at WWE Crown Jewel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
