WWE News & Rumor Roundup: Sonya Deville's in-ring return confirmed, Reason why AJ Lee hasn't had another match, Interesting note on Roman Reigns' merchandise sales (October 10, 2021)

#4 Roman Reigns is on John Cena's level for WWE merchandise sales

As per Paul Davis of WrestlingNews.co, Roman Reigns' run as a top villain has made WWE management 'very happy.'

He also noted that Reigns is the company's top merchandise seller and has even surpassed all popular heel superstars in that regard. The Universal Champion is reportedly on the same level as John Cena when it comes to merch sales.

Cena, one of WWE's most marketable babyfaces of all time, has sold a lot of merch throughout his career, so it's impressive how Reigns seems to have similarly matched those numbers as a loathed heel.

#3 Sonya Deville to wrestle again after a long hiatus

Sonya Deville last wrestled Mandy Rose in a No Disqualification Loser Leaves WWE match at SummerSlam 2020. Since losing to Rose, she has portrayed the role of an on-screen authority figure alongside Adam Pearce.

The wait for her in-ring return is now over, as Deville will face Naomi on the October 15th episode of SmackDown. Interestingly, this will be the latter's first televised bout since the 2021 Women's Money in the Bank ladder match.

The two women have developed issues with each other over the last few weeks, as the on-screen official has repeatedly refused to book Naomi in a match.

Who do you think should emerge victoriously from their upcoming clash?
