WWE’s partnership with Fanatics continues to evolve. The global leader in sports-entertainment partnered with the rapidly-growing sportswear manufacturer in 2022, announcing that Fanatics would be WWE’s official global e-commerce moving forward. This partnership has been lucrative for both sides, as WWE has reported record-shattering merchandise sales at its biggest premium live events such as WWE WrestleMania, WWE Royal Rumble, WWE Money in the Bank, and WWE SummerSlam. WWE WrestleMania 40 especially accomplished this, as the event sold 20 percent more merchandise than its predecessor. As Fanatics continues to evolve beyond sportswear and into an all-encompassing brand, WWE is along for the ride.
