As per the report, The Rock stands third on the list despite the recent backlash by fans for his WrestleMania dream match against Roman Reigns. It reflects that The Rock is still a fan favorite even though his return seems to have hijacked Cody Rhodes’ storyline. As of now, The Rock features on the top of the WWE merchandise page, prompting people to buy more.

While it can be seen as fans’ love for Dwayne Johnson, WWE is also trying to push The Rock more ahead of his WrestleMania appearance. At the same time, they are also trying to push their fans towards Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins feud.
