WrestleMania 41 Will Feature Match-Worn Gear Turned Into Trading Cards

Trading card collectors, get ready to open your wallets—because WWE and Topps just took memorabilia to a whole new level. In partnership with Topps, WWE has confirmed two new programs that are set to turn match-worn gear into ultra-rare trading cards, starting this weekend in Las Vegas.

Confirmed to Ringside News, WWE is officially launching the WrestleMania Patch and the Main Roster Debut Patch. For the first time ever in WWE history, Superstars will wear “Logoman”-style patches—similar to what’s been used in MLB and MLS card drops—to commemorate big moments in the ring. And yes, those patches are going straight into one-of-one autographed cards.

Every WWE Superstar set to compete at WrestleMania 41 on April 19 and 20 will be sporting a special WrestleMania Patch, with most placing it on their boots. Once the match ends, the patch comes off and is prepped for insertion into a single trading card, later signed by the Superstar who wore it.

But that’s not all. Starting with Monday Night RAW on April 21, any Superstar making their official main roster debut will be wearing a Main Roster Debut Patch. That includes debuts on both RAW and SmackDown going forward. The goal? Document every first-timer in a way that’s never been done before.

Each of these cards will feature custom authentication, including a Fanatics Authentics hologram, the date and location of the match, and of course—an autograph from the Superstar.

Topps will release the sets into hobby shops later this year. It mirrors the debut patch programs they first rolled out with Major League Baseball in 2023 and Major League Soccer earlier in 2024—but this time, it’s hitting the squared circle.
