As John Cena prepares for his final full-time year in WWE, fans will soon have the chance to own a one-of-a-kind collectible inspired by his legendary “You Can’t See Me” catchphrase.
Mattel has announced a special transparent action figure as part of the WWE Elite Greatest Hits 8 series, designed to commemorate the 16-time world champion’s farewell year in wrestling.
A Playful Nod to Cena’s Iconic Catchphrase
John Cena Invisible Collector’s Edition Mattel Action Figure – ‘WWE Elite Greatest Hits’ Series 8
Cena’s “invisibility” has been a long-running joke in WWE, stemming from his signature taunt and widely embraced by fans. The gag has extended beyond wrestling, appearing in memes, interviews, and even mainstream entertainment. WWE officially acknowledged it in a memorable Raw segment on September 4, 2023, featuring The Miz.
The new transparent figure cleverly embraces this theme, featuring a fully clear Cena model with interchangeable heads, hands, and accessories. While Mattel has not announced an exact release date, the figure is confirmed for launch in 2025.
As Cena’s WWE journey nears its final chapter, this collector’s edition is set to become a must-have for fans looking to commemorate his legendary career.

Two eras. One legacy. Toy manufacturer FOCO has announced the release of a Cody Rhodes and Dusty Rhodes WWE American Dream-American Nightmare Dual Bobblehead. The handcrafted and hand-painted collectible portrays two of the most popular pro wrestlings in history wearing their ring gear in action poses looking ready to take on the competition.
“The American Dream” and “The American Nightmare” text were emblazoned on the front of the base of the display. The thematic, split-color base brings a double dose of WWE greatness. It’s the perfect addition to fans young and old.
The American Dream and the Tmerican Nightmare
This is the latest in a series of high-quality bobbleheads from FOCO, which prides itself on being the leading manufacturer of sports and entertainment merchandizing celebrating more than 20 years in the industry. So many have been immortalized in bobblehead form from nWo, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, and Roddy Piper to LA Knight, Seth Rollins, and AJ Styles.
Along with WWE, they have also licensed all major sports leagues including NFL, NBA, NHL, NASCAR, MLS, and over 200 colleagues and universities as well as other entertainment properties such as Nickelodeon and Peanuts.
Visit Foco.com to preorder the Cody Rhodes and Dusty Rhodes Bobblehead set and see their full line of wrestling merchandise.
Fans of classic video games WCW/NWO Revenge and WCW Vs. nWo World Tour can show their love for these classics with new merchandise available on WWEShop.com. The two shirts have a regular retail price of $34.99 (not including shipping) and are the latest addition to WWE’s ‘Homage’ range of WCW-themed shirts.
The two shirts are listed as ‘special event’ items and will ship no later than Thursday, November 3. Fans who purchase today, Monday, August 5, will be able to grab these retro shirts for the low price of $26.24 (not including shipping.)
WCW Vs. nWo World Tour hit shelves in December 1997 in North America before releasing the following February in Europe. The game, like its successor, featured the AKI engine and was praised at the time for its ease of play. The game’s success made it the second-best-selling wrestling game for the Nintendo 64 and it is considered a classic of the game console to this day.
With the release of WCW/NWO Revenge, players were now able to enjoy improved graphics, more arenas, more signature moves, and ring entrances. Like World Tour, the game was praised for its ease of play, especially compared to the slightly more finicky WWF WarZone. WCW/NWO Revenge hit shelves in late 1998 and would not only be the best-selling wrestling game on the N64, but at the time, it was the top-selling third-party Nintendo game ever. It also served as the final AKI-developed WCW game, as their next would be WWF WrestleMania 2000 after THQ acquired the WWF license.

The top WWE merchandise sellers bring in a lot of money for the company, and their royalty checks also reflect that. Since WWE is always going, a lot of factors can play into someone’s rise up the charts, especially a title win.
For women’s apparel as of May 26, 2024. Leading the pack is Liv Morgan, whose ‘ProSphere Purple Liv Morgan Revenge Tour T-Shirt’ has become the top-selling item in WWE. Morgan, the new Women’s World Champion, will continue her reign on RAW this week after clinching the title at King & Queen of the Ring.
Following Liv Morgan in the rankings are the Kabuki Warriors, Bayley, Tiffany Stratton, and Lyra Valkyria. These stars have maintained strong merchandise sales, showcasing their significant fan bases and influence within the WWE universe.

The top WWE merchandise sellers for men’s apparel includes CM Punk’s BITW Ringer T-Shirt tops the list, marking a significant achievement for the returning superstar. Jey Uso’s ‘Yeet’ T-Shirts, available in both black and white for youth and men, also made a strong showing, highlighting his continued popularity.
The popularity of Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes is proving impossible to ignore with the SmackDown Superstar reaching a high-point with Fanatics.
Rhodes merch is often in high demand at WWE live events and all of those sales have been adding up. The American Nightmare is the only wrestler to appear on Fanatics’ top ten list of overall sellers, Fightful Select reports. This is no small feat for Rhodes as Fanatics carries NBA and NFL products amongst its catalog as well as WWE.
These figures will come as good news to higher-ups in WWE who have selected Rhodes as the face of the ‘new era.’ The report adds that The Undertaker recently did a signing for Fanatics but WWE is looking beyond Fanatics for moving their licensed merch.
A deal between WWE and Fanatics was reached in March 2022, mere days before Rhodes’ return to the promotion at WrestleMania 38. The deal has seen Fanatics sell several items of licensed merch ranging from t-shirts to replica championship title belts. At the time of the agreement’s inception, then-WWE Chairman Vince McMahon described Fanatics as an “industry leader” and Fanatics founder/CEO Michael Rubin as a “visionary.”
The popularity of Cody Rhodes can’t be ignored.
What’s to Come?
Rhodes merch will surely be in high demand at the upcoming WWE King And Queen of the Ring event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The May 25, show will see Rhodes defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against the U.S. Champion Logan Paul. While Rhodes’ title is the only on the line at this time, Cody has teased on social media that the match will see both titles on the line.
WWE’s merchandising partnership with Fanatics continues to be lucrative for both companies. Executives from both companies, including Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque, Nick Khan and Fanatics’ CEO Michael Rubin were among the business leaders who spoke at SBJ’s CAA World Congress of Sports conference earlier this week in Los Angeles, CA.
Fanatics works with some of the world’s top sports leagues, including NFL, NCAA, MLB NASCAR and many more. Rubin has seen it all, but even he underestimated the insatiable demand for WWE merchandise.
“The biggest growth sport in my mind Well, are we looking at percents, dollars? What’s wild, I’ll tell you honestly, what’s going on with WWE is insane. If I look at the growth in our WWE business, and it’s a big business already, it’s absolutely insane.”
“NFL is a multi-billion dollar business. Baseball is a multi-billion dollar business. We look collectively within our overall business, if you talk about growth percent, what’s going on with WWE is spectacular.”
When WWE and Fanatics announced their long-term partnership in 2022, Rubin explained it was a great fit. “WWE is one of the most widely admired sports and entertainment properties worldwide, and it made perfect sense to activate many parts of our Fanatics global platform to create a first-of-its-kind, all-in fan experience.”
Michael Rubin, Fanatics CEO
His statement in the press release continued, “From e-commerce and licensed merchandise to trading cards and more, we’re going to offer up an incredible set of capabilities to help WWE’s passionate fans worldwide celebrate their favorite Superstars, marquee events and the WWE brand overall.”
Cody Rhodes finally finished his Story at WrestleMania 40 by defeating Roman Reigns to bring the WWE Championship home to his family. Cody’s win was celebrated around the world by his legion of fans who are proud to show their support for the American Nightmare.
WrestleMania 40 was monumentally successful in many ways and we’ve just learned a new one. Fightful Select reports that WWE sent an internal company memo touting that Cody Rhodes merchandise grossed over $1 million during WrestleMania weekend.
The amount of Cody Rhodes merchandise in the crowd at WWE events is a sure sign that they have the right Superstar on top.
WWE released a commemorative t-shirt immediately following Cody’s win with the phrase, “The Story Continues.”

Cody Rhodes also out-performed The Rock in terms of Google searches on Monday, April 8, after he won the Undisputed Universal Title. Cody obviously has the WWE Universe’s attention right now, and for good reason.
WrestleMania 40 took place in Philadelphia on April 6 and 7 in Lincoln Financial Field. WWE SmackDown (4/5) and the RAW After WrestleMania (4/8) were both held in the Wells Fargo Center.
Cody Rhodes’ WWE Contract Situation
Rhodes previously stated that it was his goal to retire from in-ring competition before he turned 40. Cody Rhodes recently signed a new multi-year contract with WWE. The 38-year-old second-generation Superstar revealed this fact in a recent interview.
While speaking with Justin Walker, Cody confirmed that “40 is out of the question just because, not to give you scoop, it was widely reported, but I did sign a new contract with WWE. It extends beyond my 40th birthday.”
He does not have an immediate challenger for the Undisputed Universal Championship yet, but The Rock made it clear that he is coming back to WWE for a match against the American Nightmare.
AEW’s most recent pay-per-view was attended by 16,118 fans, according to Venues Now. This is up significantly from the previous year’s event, which saw 9,000 gather in San Francisco’s Chase Center.
This year’s event was the highest-attended AEW Revolution pay-per-view in history. It was the highest-attended AEW pay-per-view since last year’s record-breaking All In event inside London’s Wembley Stadium.
AEW Revolution 2024 Gate
Last weekend’s show generated a gate of over $1 million, another huge win for Tony Khan’s first promotion. The average ticket price was $55 for the pay-per-view.
On-Site Purchases
OVG Hospitality’s food and beverage per capita spending averaged at $19, excluding suites, resulting in $306,242 in concessions revenue. In terms of merchandise, the average amount per attendee was $21.64 and was said to be largely driven by Sting’s final match in the main event. This resulted in approximately $349,000 in gross sales.
Nearly all merchandise items sold out. The report stated that the commercial performance was at the higher end for family-oriented shows and more in line with the revenue generated by concerts
The Rock and Cody Rhodes have taken their WrestleMania feud to a whole new level: WWE Shop, pro wrestling’s premiere merchandise store.
At last month’s WrestleMania XL Kickoff event from Las Vegas, the ‘American Nightmare’ announced his intention to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Championship. The decision enraged The Rock, who envisioned himself battling Reigns in what he saw as the biggest match in WWE history.
Rhodes delivered a scathing message to the Bloodline, claiming their ancestors would be ashamed of them. The Rock responded by slapping the lips off Cody’s face in what Paul Heyman would later dub, The People’s Slap.
Battle of the Shirts
If you’ve been following WWE television as closely as most of our readers, you know things haven’t quieted down since then.
The Rock’ “Slap” T-Shirt
First, The Rock released a new t-shirt mocking Cody Rhodes, his ‘Cody Crybabies’ fanbase and the The People’s Slap. As seen below, the shirt invokes the popular ‘Batman slapping Robin’ meme.
Now, Rhodes has fired back with a shirt of his own. While this one still includes The Rock’s slap last month, the defiant Rhodes makes clear that the Brahma Bull should ‘get ready to learn the lyrics to Kingdom.’
Rhodes’ message is clear: No matter what, his theme will be playing after the main event of WrestleMania 40 with Cody standing tall as the new Undisputed WWE Champion
WWEShop: Cody Rhodes “Slap” T-Shirt
What’s Next?
Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins will be at this Friday’s episode of SmackDown, where they will confront The Rock and Roman Reigns. The show will be the first face-to-face between the four men since the WrestleMania 40 kick-off event. It is believed that Rhodes and Rollins will respond to the challenge laid out last week for a tag match at WrestleMania 40.
The 2024 WWE Royal Rumble Premium Live Event was a special night for the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes, both in and out of the ring.
Rhodes won this year’s match from the #15 spot, last eliminating CM Punk to score the hard-earned victory. With this win, Rhodes becomes the fourth man in WWE history to have won back-to-back Royal Rumble matches.
Cody’s Special Royal Rumble Night
Cody was the last man standing in the Men’s Royal Rumble match and also proved to be on top when it comes to merchandise. Fightful Select reports that Rhodes was the top-selling superstar at the WWE Superstore at Tropicana Field. Cody’s ‘Rumble Winner’ shirt was also the top seller on WWEShop.com.
Despite speculation by some fans, Cody was always scheduled to win the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble match. This puts to bed any rumors that Punk was going to win but his torn triceps led to the pair calling an ‘audible.’
What’s Next?
Before this year’s Royal Rumble, Cody’s path was obvious: win the Men’s match and dethrone Roman Reigns as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion at WrestleMania 40. On this week’s Raw, however, Seth Rollins confronted Cody and stated Rhodes should challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40. Seth Rollins’ originally scheduled opponent for WrestleMania, CM Punk, will miss this year’s two-night mega show in Philadelphia. Cody told Rollins he’ll think about it.
This segment from Raw was a change of plans for WWE and was specifically caused by CM Punk’s injury. It is unclear when Cody will declare his plan for WrestleMania 40.
Is a victory for Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania written in the stars…
NJPW legend Kazuchika Okada will be a free agent in just a matter of days. As the wrestling world braces for news about his next career move, an announcement regarding his current line of merchandise being pulled has fans jumping to conclusions about what what this really means.
‘The Rainmaker’ will soon be able to see what his services are worth on the open market. In the increasingly competitive wrestling war between WWE and AEW, Okada is one of the most valuable pieces on the chess board.
Okada’s merch removed
Pro Wrestling Tees owner Ryan Barkan posted a message on social media on Tuesday evening announcing that all of Okada’s merchandise is being removed within 12 hours.
What does this mean?
Pro Wrestling Tees sells very limited merchandise for a few WWE Superstars, but they’re primarily a store selling merch for everyone else – All Elite Wrestling, New Japan Pro Wrestling, GCW, and countless other independent wrestlers and promotions.
Okada’s merchandise being pulled from PWT is not a confirmation that he’s headed to WWE. Whichever company signs Okada will immediately get to work slapping his likeness on everything from t-shirts to keychains.
Thankfully, Okada will be a free agent very soon. He’s working NJPW New Beginning on February 24, but could sign with another company as early as next week.
CM Punk is riding high with his return to WWE and it’s now going to translate over into a popular sports clothing line.
Today on his Instagram, CM Punk announced that he will have an upcoming featured clothing collection on Roots Of Fight. Punk evidently be collaborating with the band Rancid on the collection, as he’s formed a friendship with Lars Fredrickson.
“Following in the footsteps of the greats. I’ve been excited to share this with you all,” Punk shared in his post. He also tagged several other legends who are associated with the Roots Of Fight brand, including Bret Hart, Randy Savage, Roddy Piper and Rey Mysterio.
If you’ve been following CM Punk on television and on social media, you’ll notice that he’s been sporting a great deal of the brand’s merchandise. Any of the Bret Hart styles you’ve seen him wearing is all under Roots Of Fight. As a matter of fact, just as he was getting ready to compete against Dominik Mysterio at Madison Square Garden he was wearing a Roddy Piper tee from Roots Of Fight.
The merchandise brand isn’t just isolated to pro wrestling. Roots Of Fight specifically featured legendary names in boxing, including Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Roberto Duran, Mike Tyson and Rocky Marciano. They also showcase baseball legends including Roberto Clemente, Babe Ruth and Ken Griffey Jr.
As far as other wrestling legends featured, Roots Of Fight showcases Ric Flair, The Iron Shiek and Andre The Giant.
Punk’s line is set to release on January 15, 2024 and it should be a huge seller considering the type of numbers he has done for WWE.
WWE NXT North American Champion Dragon Lee is included in Masked Republic’s new merchandise line and some details have come to light regarding the deal.
Dragon Lee has become one of the fastest-rising superstars in WWE. He gained massive popularity in a short period of time and most recently captured the NXT North American Championship by defeating Dominik Mysterio at NXT Deadline.
Meanwhile, Masked Republic recently announced a new merchandise & apparel line with Mad Engine last week which is around their Cinelucha brand. It is available on Amazon and it’s worth noting that it includes a licensed Dragon Lee T-Shirt.
As Lee is signed to WWE, some fans might wonder how the deal is possible as WWE doesn’t allow to sell the superstar merch through a third party.
Dragon Lee has a unique WWE deal
It has come to light via PWInsiderthat the new Dragon Lee merch was approved by WWE as part of Masked Republic’s Lucha Libre Agency negotiating Lee’s WWE contract.
Last year, in a press release it was mentioned that The Lucha Libre Agency negotiated WWE agreement for Dragon Lee.
It contained unique terms that would allow Lee to continue with his contracted Legends of Lucha Libre officially licensed products from parent company Masked Republic.
Additionally, it would allow him to continue with entertainment projects which included starring in the forthcoming middle-grade book series from Future House Publishing in which he and his brothers will be featured as monster-fighting luchadors.
Masked Republic has also been quite busy helping a number of international stars secure work visas so they can perform for top promotions such as WWE, AEW, and other promotions.
As Dragon Lee continues to garner more fans, he was also spotted exchanging masks with a fan. Read more in detail below:
Posted December 22nd, 2023 in News, WWE. Tagged: Merch.
Jey Uso made YEET pop with the WWE Universe. This is something that the Usos were saying for a while, as they brought the saying over from other places, but Jey Uso really gave it a life of its own.
The YEET trademark was a matter of dispute for a moment, and a big question mark hovered over Jey Uso’s famous word. That cause the company to list his YEET merchandise as “sold out,” but that was only for a limited time.
YEET is Blurred in New WWE Merchandise
WWE was able to work out the legal situation involving YEET, so they can use it again. Now, they have dropped a new piece of merchandise to commemorate that period of time when fans couldn’t get their hands on any YEET merchandise.
The company released a YEET shirt, but the word is blurred on the front. This is a nice touch, and it only proves that they are well aware that this story was a hot topic with fans.
What Does YEET Mean?
YEET did not originate from pro wrestling but gained popularity in Vine videos around 2014. People began using the word before executing significant moves or tossing objects. Over time, it transformed into a viral meme and found its way into various contexts, including video games and, more recently, pro wrestling.
The Problem With YEET in WWE
WWE’s trademark issue concerning Jey Uso’s YEET is clear-cut. The trademark was previously owned by Kasey Huffman, an independent professional wrestler from West Virginia, who has held the rights to the term “YEET” since 2021. This situation has led to evident complications.
WWE and Kasey Huffman were apparently able to work out a deal, because it is YEET once again for Jey Uso in WWE. Now, it is off to the races with new merchandise to make up for the short period of time that it was no YEET at WWE’s official shop.
Jey Uso recorded a short plug for his new merchandise backstage at RAW. He proudly proclaimed that it’s his YEET now.
CM Punk returned in shocking fashion during the closing moments of the 2023 Survivor Series premium live event. His comeback sparked a huge wave of fan support, and they are opening their wallets in a big way for his merchandise.
PW Insider noted that CM Punk moved a ton of merchandise on the night of his WWE return. It was stated that his merchandise moved into the six-figure rage on November 25th, the night of Survivor Series.
WWE only had one t-shirt out initially after CM Punk’s return at Survivor Series. It was a Survivor Series t-shirt that noted The Best In The World is back.
CM Punk merchandise is always a best seller at WWE Shop
Odds are, WWE will keep adding CM Punk merchandise to their official shop, because it is selling. CM Punk is proving once again that he is a merchandise mover, and the amount of tickets that move after his appearances are announced proves he also moves the needle.
CM Punk didn’t even have to wear any of his own merchandise at NXT Deadline. As he opted for a Bret “Hitman” Hart hoodie instead, Punk even teased Shawn Michaels about forgetting his HBK merch.
Keep checking back with us here at SE Scoops for more updates on CM Punk. At this point, anything is possible in WWE, and that could also call for some creative shifts as they make room for the Second City Savior on the WrestleMania 40 card.
WWE has a lot of things going on, and Logan Paul needs a new challenger for the US Title. A single-elimination tournament was started to decide just that, and now we know which Superstar from NXT will fight for that honor, as Carmelo Hayes is set to get that spotlight. He also has his eye on some AEW merchandise.
AEW has a Devil gimmick going on right now. They also have some merchandise ready for whoever is under that mask.
All Elite Wrestling dropped some new merchandise for The Devil. Carmelo Hayes certainly noticed. He chimed in on social media how much he wants one of those new pieces of merchandise. Of course, that new Devil merchandise also stole his, “I am Him” slogan, which he was calling attention to as well.
WWE has outlined their plans for the upcoming December 15th SmackDown episode. In the recent show’s conclusion, several details for the next episode on FOX were confirmed. Roman Reigns is set to make a return to the blue brand, which is anticipated to attract significant attention. Whether he responds to CM Punk’s call-out from the previous week remains uncertain.
Additionally, fans can expect a match between Grayson Waller and an unspecified NXT Superstar in the first round of the United States Championship tournament. The chosen Superstar for this shot was to be selected by Shawn Michaels. Another first-round match will feature Kevin Owens facing off against Austin Theory during the December 15th episode of WWE SmackDown.
Which NXT Superstar will wrestle for the US Title
Shawn Michaels logged onto social media in order to make that big announcement. He appeared in a very short online video where he said that, after a line of Superstars gathered at his door for that spot, he was finally able to narrow it down to one Superstar.
We will have to see how Carmelo Hayes does in this tournament. This may be the big break he needs to get that WWE main roster call-up.
Carmelo Hayes is ready for the WWE main roster
There aren’t many things that Carmelo Hayes hasn’t done in NXT at this point. After winning titles, and carving out a mark for himself, he very well could be main roster ready at this point.
Shawn Michaels is certainly hopeful in Carmelo Hayes’ abilities. Only time will tell how he does on the main roster at this point, but he will get a big shot during the December 15th episode of WWE SmackDown.
Carmelo Hayes went on to comment on this decision, proclaiming that they can’t “lil bro us anymore.”
