According to a report emanating from Twitter, some names appear to have dominated the complete list of names that have sold the most products on the WWE Shop, but the top name is very unexpected.

Former Bloodline star Jey Uso continues to capitalize on his flourishing fame as he ranked #2 with his YEET T-Shirt. Wyatt Sicks too captured the hearts of wrestling fans worldwide as their T-shirts round off the third, fifth, and sixth positions on the list. CM Punk continues to garner support from fans despite not being active in the ring. Interestingly, both Fatu and the Wyatt Sicks debuted last week on WWE programming and have truly etched their places in the WWE realm.

Nevertheless, the Wyatt Sicks had enjoyed a slow but fruitful buildup that increased anticipation of their debut and subsequent popularity. Conversely, the news of Jacob Fatu’s signing only garnered some acclaim during WrestleMania season. His scintillating debut surpassed all expectations and skyrocketed his hype. Moreover, he has formally surpassed other Bloodline members like Solo Sikoa and Roman Reigns in terms of merchandise. Is that, however, a major issue for WWE?

Could Jacob Fatu’s increasing popularity prove a foil to WWE’s plans involving Solo Sikoa?

WWE has always weighed its options carefully before putting the pieces on the board in the Bloodline story. They are aware of the enormous impact their one decision can make on the whole WWE Universe. Especially with the long-term build they have initiated with this ongoing narrative. Rumors had suggested that WWE had held back on Jacob Fatu’s debut because they thought his charm and skill would eclipse Solo Sikoa and the Bloodline.

This phenomenon has now become a reality since Fatu’s fan base has exponentially increased since he joined the Bloodline. While this might potentially cause issues for the WWE in the future with the Bloodline plot, it is beneficial for the wrestler. It remains to be seen how WWE will handle the faction and increase Solo Sikoa’s popularity and importance.
