He’s not done yet. There are a variety of ways to gauge how strong a wrestling star is and many of them have to do with the amount of money they are bringing in. While that can be tricky to figure out in one way or another, certain metrics are around to get a more definitive result. One such WWE star is doing rather well, despite one heck of a recent career setback.

Cody Rhodes lost to Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 39 after winning the 2023 men’s Royal Rumble. However, according to Fightful Select, Rhodes’ merchandise was selling well on WWE’s recent European tour, even occasionally outselling general WWE merchandise. Rhodes is scheduled to face Brock Lesnar at Backlash this coming Saturday after Lesnar attacked him last month on Monday Night Raw.
Rhodes has been doing well lately. Check out his efforts since WrestleMania:

Opinion: That is a great sign for Rhodes’ status in WWE, as he is still doing well despite losing the biggest match of his career. Rhodes is still certainly a main event star in the company and it would not surprise me to see him in the World Heavyweight Championship picture a lot sooner than later. WWE has something with him and this is the kind of thing that is going to prove that in numbers.
What do you think of Rhodes’ recent work? Will he be World Champion? Let us know in the comments below.
