I am not sure if any of your local TRU's are like this, but the entire WWE section has no been relegated to a single end cap of the aisle. END CAP.
This end cap only has DM GAB Sting, DM Warrior, Network Spotlight Helmsley and Ringmaster. There may have been a few basic Cena's. It was painful to look at. It makes me smile that I don't go to retail stores as much as I used to because I think I've saved myself a lot of disappointment.

It seems the 2016 year hasn't been good for distribution anywhere when it comes to WWE figures being in stores.
I know in Canada, its hit or miss a lot of the times, but this year we got screwed over with shipment after shipment after shipment of Elite 39. So many figures from that set still remain on our pegs.
I am not sure what happened this year with Mattel and distributing figures out to stores, but it didn't go that great.

TRU are redesigning their store setups now. They could have just put it on an endcap for now until it's spot is ready for them. Or your store doesn't sell that much WWE to be allocated a larger spot. I know my local store moved their DC items half is where the RC stuff was and all their Multiverse figures are in electronics. I asked why they were split like that and was told their area isn't ready yet so for now it was better like this having it on the sales floor than it is to have it sitting in carts in the backroom until they finish the aisles.

I'll second PJ. My TRU is doing a massive reset. They are transitioning for the holiday season. Was told that some employees went to TX to help stores down there.
Seems like retail is rushing to Black Friday & Xmas. I don't know about WWE 46, but I'm sure E45 will be the retail holiday wave.

I'd have to agree with this. Mine and several in the area just spent a month with about an endcap's space on a half shelf with pegs for each Network exclusive, 3 DM's, 1 reg elite, 1 WM elite, 2 basics and enough shelf space for a case of battle packs and whatever ring sets they have out. They just switched it back to 1/3rd of an isle like they had before. I'd bet yours is going through the same thing. |

My TRU just reset as well.
The Star Wars and Marvel stuff now faces each other in one aisle.
Funko merch and all the adult collector figures now have an entire side of an aisle facing the Transformers and Power Rangers stuff.
The DC and WWE merchandise was definitely condensed, but it's still there.

They could just be making room for "The Guy".

I recently noticed TRU had the wwe stuff in a very small corner of the store. Then the following week they had done resets so everything was in new locations.

They were relegated to a little tiny space in the middle of nowhere for two weeks, but now they're back in a more prominent spot with more space. Meanwhile, another TRU I visited last weekend moved them all the way to the other end of the store for some reason, near the board games. |

This is what the reset looks like at a TRU near me.   |
