Topps continues to excel with its pro wrestling products. The 2018 WWE Women’s Division set offers collectors an extensive look of the women who are beginning to command as much attention in the wrestling world -- if not more -- as their male counterparts.
A blaster box contains 10 packs, with seven cards to a pack. There is also a hit in a silver pack that is included in the blaster.
She’s not featured on the blaster box, but Ronda Rousey has a presence, adorning packs with the former MMA champion dressed in a “Rowdy” top and a kilt. She certainly cuts a better figure in that outfit than the late “Rowdy” Roddy Piper did in his version.
The base set for the WWE Women’s Division product contains 100 cards, and like last year are divided into two distinct sections. Fifty of the cards showcase wrestlers from the WWE and NXT — including four legends like Wendi Richter, Lita, Alundra Blayze and Trish Stratus. The other 50 are broken down into 30 NXT cards, 10 Raw and 10 Smackdown Live.

The blaster box I bought yielded 30 of the WWE/NXT stars, six Smackdown Live cards, 15 NXT cards and four Raw cards.
The photographs in the set are a mix of posed and action shots. While Rousey may draw some crossover interest, the set gives plenty of attention to established stars like Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Naomi, Nikki Bella, Sasha Banks, Asuka and Bayley, to name a few.
There were two different inserts I pulled from the blaster box. One is available to all, and one was a Walmart exclusive.
Royal Rumble is an all-inclusive insert. There are 24 in the subset, and I pulled five from the blaster box I opened.
Women’s Champion is a Walmart exclusive that has 25 cards. Each pack from a Walmart blaster contains one of these cards. True to the average, I pulled 10 of these cards.
The “hot” card in the blaster was a Worn Shirt relic card of Ember Moon, a purple parallel that was numbered to 99. Other parallels in this subset come in silver, numbered to 50; blue (25), gold (10), black (5) and red (1/1).
Pro wrestling continues to maintain its popularity, and the card sets from Topps are certainly helping to keep the WWE stars in the mainstream for a new generation of fans.
