Its a business. If Bayley doesnt have 80 shirts in print its because either they dropped a bad print no one wanted or her base was good with the one shirt.
Bayley like Cena has a huge leg up with her having t shirts and arm tassles and head bands. Shes super marketable in that way.

WWE also bases their merch sales and supply by people who they actually care about the most, according to the dirtsheets and other wrestlers.
Cena and Reigns tops the charts only because the WWE overstocks their merch for house shows and online shop at the expense of others. Bellas got a ton because of Total Divas and being the main focus of the women's division at the time.
Orton and Punk have complained about this before for house shows and Ryder had to plead several times to get more merch during his peak.
Bayley has more now but took a while for the WWE to start pumping out more merch numbers for her even though she kept selling out or was the top seller for NXT.
