Stone Cold Steve Austin continues to dominate the WWE market
WrestleOps via Wrestlenomics recently posted a tweet on their Twitter handle, giving a list of the top 5 highest merch sellers in WWE for the month of June 2023. The 6-time WWE/F Champion sits in the third position just behind Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes.
Not to forget, Reigns and Rhodes are active WWE superstars. Plus, they are fan favorites too. Therefore, their merchandise sales doing great is not an out-of-the-ordinary thing. What caught the fan’s attention is that Austin, who has retired from WWE, is still drawing in a lot of money for the merchandise department.

The WWE Universe cherishes Austin’s amazing accomplishment.
The fact that Stone Cold Steve Austin is top 3 after damn near 20 years of retirement (I didn't do the exact math) is such an accomplishment. His impact on the WWE/WWF and the wrestling business in its entirety cannot be matched IMO.

I love how Stone Cold has been in the best sellers FOR 2 DECADES STRAIGHT. Then some people go on to say that he's overrated and not better than (for some reason) Kenny Omega. I literally don't know why but I've seen many people compare or even say that Kenny is better..

It fascinated the fans how even after not being a regular WWE superstar; he is drawing more money than those who are. The last time the WWE Universe saw Austin inside the wrestling ring was 463 days ago at WrestleMania 38. On the biggest premium live event of the promotion, he fought Kevin Owens.

At first, he was reluctant to wrestle again, but Owens used his tactics to lure him inside the squared circle. It was a No Holds Barred match that saw the 3:16 star coming out victorious. What do you think of Austin being in the third spot in the highest merch sellers list of June? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below.
