Apparently some sales numbers for the WWE 2K series were recently revealed as part of an on-going lawsuit involving copyright infringement claims regarding Randy Orton's tattoos in the games.
WWE 2K16, 2K17, and 2K18 averaged around 3.38 million copies sold while 2K20 is currently well below that pace.

That’s a per year average of 3.38 million units and $139,564,000 in total revenue. The numbers are way down this year due to the issues with this year’s game, but that shows the value of the WWE franchise in that market.
