2016 Topps WWE Undisputed preview

Topps laid the smackdown on wrestling collectors last year when they released their first high-end WWE product, 2015 Undisputed. Fans and collectors rushed to pin down autographs from a deep checklist of WWE Superstars and Legends. 2016 Topps WWE Undisputed will have a similar configuration with the promise of a hit per pack, including six autographs and two auto relics per ten-pack box.

A total of 100 cards make up the base set, which will cover past and present WWE Superstars. There are three set of insert to compliment the base set: NXT Prospects, Divas Revolution and Undisputed Tag Teams.
