2016 Topps WWE Wrestling preview

With Topps’s continually expanding calendar of WWE releases, 2016 Topps WWE serves as the “flagship product” that gives an overview of the entertainment company’s full roster of superstar much in the same way Series 1 Baseball or Topps Football does for their respective sports.
