– WWE grossed $3.7 million dollars in merchandise sales at Wrestlemania 33, according to the Wrestling Observer. This was the second-highest merchandise grossing event in company history behind last year’s WrestleMania 32. This year’s WrestleMania sales figure is even more impressive when you consider WM32 was attended by nearly 30,000 more fans.
– Stephanie McMahon has been vacationing in the Caribbean, which is why WWE wrote her off television for a few weeks with the table bump at WrestleMania.
– Mojo Rawley spoke with TMZ Sports this week and indicated WWE is interested in signing NFL star Rob Gronkowski when his football career is over. Gronk physical in the ring at WrestleMania, which garnered WWE a lot of mainstream media coverage. In talking about a WWE career for Gronk, Mojo says, “of course we’ve explored opportunity” but acknowledged Gronk’s top priority right now is his role with the New England Patriots.
Back in October, Mojo told the hosts of Good Morning San Diego,“Trust me we’ve had that conversation many times and [Gronk is] dying to get in the ring.”
Also last year, Gronkowski appeared on Access Hollywood and discussed joining WWE after his days in the NFL are over.
