6 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 6 we hope aren't: Why Vince McMahon was "angry" at Seth Rollins, RAW superstars' push reportedly "over"

#2. Hope is true: Becky Lynch no longer the #1 merchandise seller in WWE

Becky Lynch has been the top dog in WWE in terms of merchandise sales for a while now. It may surprise some as that spot used to be dominated by top men in WWE including John Cena and Roman Reigns, but her persona from last year till now has seen her popularity rise immensely.

While we love the fact that she was in that spot, she would inevitably be overtaken at some point or the other. It was just a matter of which character was strong enough to do it. The answer to that is The Fiend.

The current Universal Champion is now the top merchandise seller in WWE according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Fightful reported earlier in the year that The Man was at #1 but she has now been dethroned in that spot.

We hope this is true because Wyatt deserves to be WWE's top merchandise seller and has worked hard to make The Fiend character work wonders. Merchandise sales at that level will only ensure a continued push.
