In the world of WWE, nostalgia sells. The entertainment giant has a penchant for reviving old stables and gimmicks to boost merchandise sales and keep fans engaged. Ahead of WrestleMania 39, Rey Mysterio approached Legado Del Fantasma with an idea to resurrect the Latino World Order (LWO), and it appears to have paid off.
The LWO, carrying on the legacy of the late Eddie Guerrero, was reintroduced to the WWE Universe to much fanfare. Although Legado Del Fantasma’s sudden babyface turn surprised some, the stable has since won over its fair share of supporters.
The retro LWO t-shirt, once a must-have for wrestling fans, hit the shelves again and has been flying off them since. According to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics, the LWO has secured the top spot on WWE’s merchandise sellers list for three consecutive weeks.
While the stable may not have been successful in the ring lately, their devoted fanbase continues to cheer them on. As the WWE Draft kicks off on Smackdown this week, the LWO is up for grabs as a unit. Could we see them drafted to Monday Night RAW? Only time will tell.
