I don't think those were big enough for cards. Starrcade was a taped event. It was really just Saturday Night Main Event with a different name. NXTUK should get cards for NXTUK TakeOver Blackpool in January. I think that NXT cards have been dropped though. After skipping WarGames I'm not expecting any new ones.

Default The Topps Company & WWE® Extend Exclusive Global Trading Card Agreement

Just announced on Topps.com:


The Topps Company & WWE® Extend Exclusive Global Trading Card Agreement

The Topps Company today announced a multi-year agreement that extends its global partnership with WWE for licensed trading cards. Topps has featured WWE Superstars on trading cards for more than a decade while continuing to enhance the WWE trading card experience with Superstar autographs and embedded pieces of mat relics, shirts and shorts.

“Topps is at the forefront of innovation and the leader in the category for e-commerce and on-demand trading cards,” said Topps General Manager and Vice President David Leiner. “We’re excited to see how far we can push the WWE license to bring new and exciting products to fans around the world.”

Topps has highlighted multiple WWE eras through Topps® Legends of WWE, which includes autographs of many all-time WWE greats; Topps® WWE Women’s Division, highlighting current and past female Superstars; and Topps® WWE Undisputed, a high-end autographed set with dynamic designs.

“Topps is a proven innovator across multiple product lines and valued long-term partner,” said Brian Flinn, WWE Chief Marketing & Communications Officer. “Our extended partnership with Topps will enable us to further reimagine the trading card experience and deliver unique ways for our fans to connect with their favorite WWE Superstars.”

With the extended agreement, Topps will continue featuring WWE Superstars within the TOPPS NOW® program, highlighting the most iconic moments on weekly trading cards including title changes, new rivalries and more. TOPPS NOW is sold exclusively on Topps.com for just 24 hours, and only the number of cards purchased are the number printed.

TLC cards are up.

I don't get why Topps would skip on a Rousey card. I'm more surprised they didn't make two Rousey cards. One for her win over Nia Jax and one for that ladder tipping moment. If the quality of the match or the moment is the issue then there will never be cards. The events should still be chronicled a little more. There are people out there would would love these cards. How about a card for R-Truth and Carmella winning the MMC2? And skipping a card of Natalya with the Neidhart jacket? Leaving money on the table here.

Yeah, a little disappointed that there are only 2 cards for TLC. Missing moments that collectors would want to buy.

Betting we get a second-day card for Rousey. It's happened a few times.

You could be right... but I'm not holding my breath. I think they only did that once where Rousey was on a different day than the other cards. The other times all the cards were just delayed a day.

I stopped collecting WWE Topps Now when they released a relic card 2 days after the event, rather than the next day with other cards...
And I missed it, despite of having bought every other relic card until then.
I think it was the Stone Cold relic.

I bought 10 x Asuka today as an exception to my boycott for WWE Topps Now...

#70 - 270
#71 - 70
#72 - 295

Pretty good number for Rousey considering it was a day later

It's extremely rare they do a RAW or SmackDown card but I hope they do one for Mean Gene. Even if it's Hogan standing in the ring next to a large picture of Gene. "Hulk Hogan returns to honor Mean Gene Okerlund"

That would be a great idea!
But, unfortunately, Topps Now usually doesn't capture the moments in WWE like they do for MLB

NXT TakeOver Blackpool is today. Would be nice to get a couple cards for this. A lot of WWE fans in the UK I know would be buyers on these.

Anyone watching this? I hope we get a Dave Mastiff card. I was legit nervous for the guy though everytime Eddie Dennis tried to lift him. Don't drop him on his head!

I'm hoping we get cards for Dave Mastiff, Toni Storm and Pete Dunne. I'd be a buyer still even on the Grizzled Young Veterans and Finn Balor. Should not overlook the UK market on these. Great atmosphere. Even an additional card for WALTER and Dunne staring down would be cool. C'mon guys. All you have to do is find pictures that hopefully don't suck. Let's get some life back into these cards.

Can only hope that there's some good cards coming out on Monday and/or Tuesday!

Is it a good sign for some Topps Now cards that Mr. McMahon liked NXT TakeOver?

The SLAM digital card app has recap cards now. They just do them a week later. Still would be great to see NOW do next day recap cards.

Yeah, they could release on Monday after PPV, Tuesday after RAW, and Wednesday after SmackDown Live. Or just consolidate and release them all on Thursdays. But there needs a bit more consistency with there Topps Now.

I think most of them wouldn't need to be cards. Half the time the main event is a thrown together 6 man tag and other repetitive crap but you could probably get a card or two out of the weekly shows.

I wonder if there is any chance of locking down a deal for AEW.

Nice effort with 2 Royal Rumble cards and for sale for a few days, but seems like they could have done few more of the matches, too.

I'm a little surprised by the match preview cards actually. I think the last time they did those was SummerSlam 2017. Not my favorite cards though. There's a good chance the winner of the match won't be on the card. A wider group shot like the ones WWE usually uses when promoting it would have been better for these cards. Still glad they did something. Nothing drives me crazy more than ignoring the events.

Here's hoping for some NXT TakeOver Phoenix cards!
