2025 Topps Exalted WWE Checklist

2025 Topps Exalted WWE enters the hobby as a new premium wrestling release built around bold foil design, on-card style appeal, colorful serial-numbered parallels, autograph content, and high-end memorabilia cards. The product is hobby-exclusive and keeps the format simple: one pack per box, five cards per pack, and a hit-driven breakdown that gives collectors two autographs and one memorabilia card in every hobby box.

For a first-year brand, Exalted arrives with a strong mix of current WWE stars, NXT names, and legends. The checklist is also anchored by several tribute concepts, most notably John Cena cards tied to his final WWE season. That gives the product a built-in chase element beyond the standard rookie-style and superstar autograph hunt.

Release date for 2025 Topps Exalted WWE is April 1, 2026.

2025 Topps Exalted WWE hobby box format

Topps is positioning Exalted as a compact, premium rip rather than a volume break product. Each hobby box includes five total cards and delivers a predictable mix of content.

Cards per pack: 5
Packs per box: 1
Boxes per case: 10
Set size: 100 cards
Release date: April 1, 2026

Expected hobby box content:

2 Autographs
1 Memorabilia card
1 Numbered parallel
1 Base card

That structure makes Exalted an easy product to understand for both WWE set builders and hit-focused collectors. You are not opening this for bulk commons. You are opening it for premium star power, scarce color, and showcase-level singles.

Base set and parallels

The base set contains 100 cards and blends modern headliners, developing NXT talent, and major WWE legends. Big names at the top include John Cena, The Rock, Triple H, Undertaker and Shawn Michaels, while the active roster is represented by names such as Cody Rhodes, Gunther, Seth Rollins, CM Punk, Roman Reigns, Tiffany Stratton, Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, and many more.

Every base card can be chased through a rainbow of numbered parallels:

White /150
Aqua /99
Green /50
Blue /25
Purple /10
Red /5
Black /1

The parallel structure is clean and familiar, which should help both player collectors and rainbow chasers. The inclusion of a White /150 tier also gives the base side of the product more depth before collectors move into the tougher low-numbered colors.

Autograph lineup highlights

Autographs are clearly the main attraction. Exalted Autographs headlines the signature side, but the overall autograph program is deep, with multiple themed designs and a mix of legends, current stars, and NXT talent.

Aqua /99
Green /50
Blue /25
Red /5
Black /1

Exalted Autographs, 47 cards
Streamline Signatures, 21 cards
Ambient Autographs, 21 cards

John Cena, The Rock and Triple H tribute cards

One of the biggest talking points in 2025 Topps Exalted WWE is the tribute-driven content built around major franchise names.

The standout is John Cena: The Last Time is Now Autograph, a one-card insert with the same Aqua /99, Green /50, Blue /25, Red /5 and Black /1 parallels. There is also a four-card Celebrating Cena Autographs set, with each card numbered to 10.

Cena is also featured on a special relic card under the same The Last Time is Now banner. According to Topps, the memorabilia is event-worn and includes pieces from his final WrestleMania appearance, which gives that card extra historical appeal for WWE collectors.

The Rock has his own Retrospective Autographs with two cards numbered to 10, plus Red Refractor /5 and Superfractor /1 versions.

Triple H appears in a three-card Tribute Autographs set, each card numbered to 10.

Collectors chasing dual and ultra-premium signature pieces will also find:

Superstar Rivalry Signatures: Triple H & The Rock /5, Triple H & Shawn Michaels /5, with Superfractor /1 parallels
Superstar Rivalry Variation Signatures: Stephanie McMahon & Trish Stratus /25, with Black Refractor /10, Red Refractor /5 and Superfractor /1

Memorabilia cards and relic themes

Relics are not an afterthought here. Exalted offers several formats, from standard single-swatches to multi-wrestler combinations. Most relic sets use the same parallel structure as the autograph line:

Aqua /99
Green /50
Blue /25
Red /5
Black /1

Memorabilia sets include:

Exalted Relics, 49 cards
Mega Materials, 25 cards
Rivaled Relics, 10 cards
Tag Team Relics, 10 cards
Quad Relics, 5 cards
John Cena: The Last Time is Now Relics, 1 card

Key relic checklist notes

Exalted Relics has a long single-subject checklist that includes Alexa Bliss, Bianca Belair, Becky Lynch, Bronson Reed, Jordynne Grace, Kelani Jordan, Ludwig Kaiser, Lyra Valkyria, Montez Ford, Naomi, Penta, Rey Mysterio, Seth Rollins, Sheamus, Sol Ruca, Stephanie Vaquer, The Miz, Uncle Howdy and Zelina Vega.

Mega Materials leans more heavily into marquee names such as Charlotte Flair, Carmelo Hayes, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Drew McIntyre, Damian Priest, Gunther, John Cena, Jacob Fatu, Jade Cargill, Kevin Owens, LA Knight, Liv Morgan, Randy Orton, Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, Tiffany Stratton and Trick Williams.

Rivaled Relics is one of the more compelling chase sets because it pairs notable WWE feuds and competitive storylines on the same card. The full matchup list is:

Ilja Dragunov / Bron Breakker
Bayley / Iyo Sky
AJ Styles / LA Knight
Santos Escobar / Rey Mysterio
CM Punk / Drew McIntyre
Seth Rollins / Gunther
Liv Morgan / Rhea Ripley
Roman Reigns / Cody Rhodes
Jimmy Uso / Jey Uso
Chad Gable / Sami Zayn

Tag Team Relics shifts the focus to established tandems and team pairings:

Kairi Sane / Asuka
Bianca Belair / Jade Cargill
Shayna Baszler / Zoey Stark
Kayden Carter / Katana Chance
Johnny Gargano / Tommaso Ciampa
Axiom / Nathan Frazer
Montez Ford / Angelo Dawkins
Piper Niven / Chelsea Green
Chris Sabin / Alex Shelley
Elton Prince / Kit Wilson

Quad Relics pushes the concept further with four-subject memorabilia cards. Those five combinations are:

Uncle Howdy / Dexter Lumis / Joe Gacy / Erick Rowan
Finn Bálor / Carlito / JD McDonagh / Dirty Dominik Mysterio
Lola Vice / Roxanne Perez / Cora Jade / Kelani Jordan
Trick Williams / Je'Von Evans / Ethan Page / Oba Femi
Jacob Fatu / Tama Tonga / Tonga Loa / Solo Sikoa

Best early chase cards in 2025 Topps Exalted WWE

Because this is a premium WWE debut, first-year brand appeal will matter. Collectors will likely gravitate toward a few obvious targets immediately:

John Cena The Last Time is Now autograph and relic
The Rock Retrospective Autographs
Triple H Tribute Autographs
Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, CM Punk and Seth Rollins autographs
Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Tiffany Stratton and Jade Cargill autograph cards
Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold Steve Austin signatures
Superstar Rivalry dual autographs
Black 1/1 parallels from the base set and autograph sets

NXT collectors should also keep a close eye on names like Oba Femi, Giulia, Stephanie Vaquer, Jordynne Grace, Kelani Jordan, Sol Ruca, Trick Williams, Zaria and Lola Vice. Premium releases often become important long-term anchor cards for fast-rising talent.

Final thoughts

2025 Topps Exalted WWE looks designed for collectors who want quality over quantity. The one-pack format, consistent hit mix, layered autograph checklist, and strong memorabilia themes give the product a clear identity right out of the gate.

The biggest selling point may be the blend of eras. Legends like The Rock, Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart and Trish Stratus sit alongside current main-event names and NXT standouts, while the John Cena farewell content adds a timely story element that should drive demand.

If the card stock, foiling, and autograph presentation match the ambition of the checklist, Exalted has a real chance to become one of the more desirable WWE hobby launches of the year.

Print runs for non-serial-numbered cards have not been announced.
