WWE and trading card company Topps have reunited with a new
deal that officially starts on January 31.
This will mark the first collaboration between the two
companies since the end of 2021, when Panini took over the
license for WWE trading cards.
“As WWE reaches unprecedented heights, Topps celebrates the
legacy with the return of WWE trading cards in 2025. These
aren’t just cards—they’re your gateway to relive iconic
moments, collect autographs from Superstars like Jey Uso,
and own unique pieces of WWE history, such as ring mat
relics,” the Topps website reads. “Whether you’re a lifelong
fan or a newcomer, Topps WWE trading cards connect you to
the excitement of the squared circle, putting the ‘Together’
in WWE’s motto: Then, Now, and Forever. Together.”
In September 2023, Panini filed a lawsuit against WWE after
the company terminated its contract as WWE tried to get back
with Topps, which was bought out by Fanatics, a big WWE
partner in merchandise.
In mid-November, WWE and Panini settled their lawsuit
without prejudice out of court but no settlement terms were
ever released. In February of 2024, Panini announced that it
would continue its relationship with WWE through digital
trading cards.
