WWE and Topps are teaming up to unveil two match-used patch programs this weekend: The WrestleMania Patch and The Main Roster Debut Patch. This would be the first time WWE has had elevated "Logoman"-style patches for trading cards. The following was sent to us:
- All Superstars scheduled for a match at WrestleMania on April 19-20 will wear the WrestleMania Patch (with many wearing it on their boots). And starting at RAW on April 21, ALL Superstars making their first main-roster appearance will be wearing a Main Roster Debut Patch (a program that will continue for any main roster debut in any future RAW or Smackdown).
- All patches will be removed from the Superstar after the match and then inserted into a one-of-one trading card, with the Superstar later adding their autograph. There will also be custom authentication on the card -- a COA/Fanatics Authentics hologram – as well as day, date and name of the event.
- Sets including WrestleMania Patch and Main Roster Debut Patch cards will hit hobby shops later this year. Debut patch programs from Topps started in March 2023 with MLB, extending to MLS in 2024.
