Report: 'Point Of Contention' Within WWE Over Lack Of LA Knight Merch At Live Events

While LA Knight merchandise has sold incredibly well online, with the former Eli Drake estimated to have finished in top spot for WWE's merch sales in July 2023, Knight's merchandise hasn't moved so well at WWE house shows. 

Fightful Select recently obtained data on WWE's merch sales at live events and it has been reported that Cody Rhodes was at the top of several lists, with multiple items in the top five. The Usos have also moved merchandise, selling more than every talent except for Cody Rhodes at live events, while Seth Rollins, Rhea Ripley, and Roman Reigns regularly pop up in the top five. 

Generic WWE merchandise like title belts and tour shirts almost always sell very well, while Cody Rhodes' weight belts have brought in plenty of money for WWE, as have The Usos' "We The Ones" t-shirts. 

A major portion of LA Knight's merchandise, meanwhile, comes from online sales where he has t-shirt sales close to the top spot alongside Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. LA Knight often does not appear as a top merchandise seller at WWE live events, however, something which was a "point of contention" within WWE recently as there has been a lack of his merch at certain live shows as of late.

LA Knight currently finds himself as one of if not the most popular talent on WWE TV based on crowd reaction and the reception to the former IMPACT World Champion online.
