Update On How Much WWE Merchandise CM Punk Sold Within 24 Hours Of His Return

CM Punk’s return to WWE has proven to be a big success in the short term. Social media engagement went through the roof, with Punk’s comeback being the most liked post on X for WWE in history. Millions of views across many platforms and a huge boost in merchandise in sales is sure to paint big grins over those higher up in the company. 

On the Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash has spoken about the number he heard when it comes to the sheer scale of merchandise sales surrounding Punk’s WWE return, remarking that it was $600,000 in 24 hours.

"I think he did $600,000 worth of merchandise in like the first 24 hours that he came back. I watched SmackDown last Friday because I knew he was gonna be on. That was the reason I watched. I wasn't gangbusters over his initial interview that he cut."

Nash went to show respect for Punk, noting that it must’ve been daunting going out there for the first time in 10 years to speak to WWE fans live, praising his appearances on all three brands and especially his interactions with Shawn Michaels on NXT.
