2025 Topps Exalted WWE is Topps’ premium WWE product – you can think of it as the WWE version of Topps Museum Collection Baseball or Panini Immaculate Football.

In this 2025 Topps Exalted WWE review, we’ll be running the rule over this premium WWE trading card set, letting you know about the collection’s quality and whether it’s worth your hard-earned money.

2025 Topps Exalted WWE: What to Expect

2025 Topps Exalted WWE only comes in Hobby box form. When you purchase a box of 2025 Topps Exalted WWE, you’ll receive five cards. Each box has the same make-up, meaning you’ll always receive:

• 1 x Base Card
• 1 x Numbered Parallel
• 2 x Auto Cards
• 1 x Relic Card

Of course, the quality of the cards can vary. Numbered base card parallels range from /150 to /1. Autographs can be simple Exalted Autographs of low-tier superstars, such as Kelani Jordan or Axiom, to 1/1 John Cena autographs from the highly-chased John Cena: The Last Time is Now Autograph card. The same range in rarity can be found in the memorabilia cards.

The cards themselves are premium quality, featuring high-resolution 300 DPI images on 35pt card stock. Autographs and relics are on 55pt cards. Therefore, make sure you have sufficiently sized toploaders to protect the larger hits from this set, of which there are plenty to collect.

The autographs also deserve special mention, as there are none of the sticker autographs moaned about by many collectors. Instead, all autographs, even base autos, are on-card, which only adds to the premium look and feel of 2025 Topps Exalted WWE.

What Cards Are in 2025 Topps Exalted WWE?

2025 Topps Exalted WWE has a large range of cards – collecting them all when there are only five per box will be a costly exercise, meaning most will just chase specific cards for their personal collections.

There are three types of cards in 2025 Topps Exalted WWE: base cards (including several parallels), auto cards, and relic cards. There are no insert cards in this WWE trading card collection.

You can see a rundown of the various card types in 2025 Topps Exalted WWE below:

2025 Topps Exalted WWE Base Cards

There are 100 base cards in 2025 Topps Exalted WWE. These all come with parallels, ranging from /150 to /1.

• Base Cards: These show the superstar front and center, standing in front of what looks like a large ball of energy. The background of the card is bright white, while the Exalted logo is at the top. The superstar’s name is in small type at the bottom. Parallels have different flashes of color in the background, depending on their rarity, although the /150 parallel is identical to the standard base card.

2025 Topps Exalted WWE Autograph Cards

Autograph cards are plentiful in 2025 Topps Exalted WWE, with two coming in every box. There are 13 different auto cards in total, ranging from common Exalted Autos to rare autos from John Cena, The Rock, and Triple H.

• Exalted Autographs: There are 47 of these auto cards. They have the same design as the base cards, aside from an autograph underneath the superstar’s image. Like the base cards, parallels have flashes of color in the background, which varies depending on the parallel.
• Streamline Signatures: There are 21 Streamline Signatures cards in 2025 Topps Exalted WWE, making them a more sought-after product than Exalted Autographs. These cards have the superstar in the middle, in front of a fiery scene. The card name is at the top, while the superstar’s name is below. Parallels have different colored borders around the superstar, the card logo, and the superstar’s name.
• Ambient Autographs: The most colorful of the auto cards in 2025 Topps Exalted WWE, the 21 Ambient Autographs cards show the superstar in the center, with swirling colors behing. “Ambient Autographs” is written at the top, with the signature at the bottom. Parallels have differently colored swirls behind the wrestler.
• Insignia Ink: The 19 Insignia Ink cards are landscape, with the superstar on the left and the superstar’s logo on the right. The autograph is inscribed over the top of the logo, with “Insignia Ink” written vertically on the far left side. Parallels see the card name and the border around the signature as differently colored holos, which look exceptional.
• Elevated Ink: The 29 Elevated Ink cards show the featured superstars in action in the ring, with the Elevated Ink logo above and the signature below. Of all the auto cards, they’re perhaps the least inspiring. Parallels have holos for logos and for the borders around the image and auto, which are coloured differently depending on the parallel type.

• Black & White Signatures: These are the best-looking autos in the set. In fact, they’re some of the most attractive WWE cards we’ve ever seen. There are 19 in total and, as the name suggests, they show the superstar in black and white. The superstar name is at the top, with a large “Exalted” logo underneath. The autograph is underneath the wrestler’s image. In parallels, the Exalted logo is a holo, which is differently colored depending on the parallel type.
• Apparition Autographs: These 21 cards show the wrestler in front of a colorful, smoky background. The autograph is below, followed by the card name, with the superstar’s name at the bottom. In parallels, the card name is a holo, which is colored differently depending on the parallel.
• John Cena: The Last Time is Now Autograph: This is just one card, and the 1/1 is one of the set’s main chase cards. It shows John Cena with “The Last Time is Now” partially covering him. His autograph is underneath, with his name printed at the bottom. Parallels have differently colored backgrounds.
• Celebrating Cena Autographs: These five cards show John Cena at different stages of his career. These simple cards show Cena in the center, with “Hustle” written behind and his autograph underneath. There are no parallels, with all five cards being /10.
• The Rock Retrospective Autographs: There are five of these cards, and each is numbered to /10, /5, and /1. These two cards show The Rock earlier in his career, with his famous Brahma Bull logo below. Underneath this is the autograph, then The Rock’s name. The coloring next to the Brahma Bull logo differs depending on the parallel.
• Triple H Tribute Autographs: There are three of this card type, all numbered to /10, with no parallels. We’re yet to see this card make an appearance online, so we don’t currently know what it looks like.
• Superstar Rivalry Signatures: There are two of this card type, portraying two classic rivalries from WWE. They come as /5 and /1, and have a wrestler on either side, with their signatures underneath. In the middle is the Superstar Rivalry Signatures logo. We don’t know how the /5 and /1 differ, as we’re yet to see the /1 cards.
• Superstar Rivalry Variation Signatures: This single card depicts the rivalry between Stephanie McMahon and Trish Stratus and comes as /25, /10, /5, and /1. The superstars are again on either side of the card, but unlike the standard Superstar Rivalry Signatures card, the autographs are at the top and bottom of the card, separated by the Superstar Rivalry Signatures logo.

Should You Buy 2025 Topps Exalted WWE?

2025 Topps Exalted WWE is a beautiful product – the best-looking WWE product Topps have put out since reclaiming the license from Panini at the beginning of the year. The cards are crisp and clean, and the variety of autographs is spectacular. Plus, there’s star-power aplenty, with some of the company’s biggest stars appearing, including, of course, John Cena, who is celebrated after his retirement from the company.

But there is, of course, a glaring reason why some won’t choose 2025 Topps Exalted WWE: you only get five cards. Sure, they’re incredibly high-quality and the chance for big hits is high, but for the outlay, many want several packs to rip, not one pack of five cards.

So, this is a real collector’s product, for the WWE card aficionados out there. While some will prefer larger boxes with more cards, others will relish the chance to hit cards of this quality, especially if they can hit big names like John Cena, The Rock, Triple H, Roman Reigns, and CM Punk.

If you’re a WWE collector looking for quality over quantity, these are the WWE cards for you.
