NEW DELHI: CM Punk's return has sparked a surge in demand for his merchandise, with items reportedly flying off the shelves at an astonishing rate.
The former AEW star, who chose RAW as his new home, has not only declared himself for the upcoming Royal Rumble but is also positioning himself as a top superstar leading into WrestleMania.
The impact of Phil Brooks, better known as CM Punk, on WWE's business is undeniable. Punk recently took to his Instagram Stories to showcase two WWE merch options, one of which was an autographed 8" x 10" photo from Survivor Series 2023.
However, to the dismay of fans eager to get their hands on a piece of wrestling history, Punk soon realized that the signed pictures were already sold out on the WWE store.
In a rare display of humility, Punk publicly apologized to fans for the unexpected sell-out. This incident only further underscores the tremendous impact Punk's return has had on the market, with fans scrambling to secure a piece of memorabilia from the celebrated wrestler.
CM Punk, true to his words from his first promo back on RAW, declared that he wasn't returning to make friends but to increase his bank balance. It appears that Punk is achieving exactly that, with the rapid sell-out of his merchandise showcasing the financial windfall WWE is experiencing thanks to his return.
