According to Wrestlenomics by way of Cagesideseats.com, during the month of October, Jey Uso sold more merchandise than CM Punk and Roman Reigns combined. Uso was the Intercontinental Champion for most of the month and but did not wrestle on the month’s Premium Live Event Bad Blood. During the same month, Punk wrestled in the Bad Blood’s signature match and Reigns headlined the event.
He’s on fire. Check out what Uso did in October:
Opinion: This is quite the impressive feat and it is all the more difficult to pull off when Uso wasn’t even wrestling on the biggest show of the month. You can see that the fans are very much into whatever Uso is doing as his entrance alone, complete with all of the YEET stuff everywhere, has fans going nuts. It shouldn’t be surprising that Uso is cleaning up at the moment and good for him for capitalizing on his success.
What do you think of Uso’s recent success? Who should he face next? Let us know in the comments below.
