We're told WWE and Fanatics have been very happy with the promotion of Fanatics Fest, especially with the response after prime advertising real estate was on WWE shows.
Cody Rhodes' Fanatics Fest tickets sold out quicker than any athlete at the show, and this past weekend he had three top selling shirt designs.
Rhea Ripley's tickets also ended up selling before any athlete not associated with WWE besides Cody.
Terence Crawford's WWE shirt sold well, we're told.
Since there was a second Smackdown taping Friday, there was no post-show dark match.
WWE taped two episodes of Smackdown as they'll be in Japan next week.
