WWE Launches Undertaker NFTs With Extra Perks: What Investors And Wrestling Fans Should Know

Ahead of WrestleMania 37, World Wrestling Entertainment Inc WWE has announced the launch of its first NFTs. The NFTs center around one of their most iconic wrestlers and come with some exclusive perks.

What Happened: World Wrestling Entertainment will launch four non-fungible tokens in tiers beginning Saturday at 10:30 a.m. ET. All four of the NFTs will feature the iconic wrestler The Undertaker.

Why It’s Important: World Wrestling Entertainment owns its content and could quickly become an NFT play if this first launch is successful.

The NBA partnered with Dapper Labs to create NBA Top Shot, which features NFTs sold in packs that can be bought and sold on a marketplace. WWE could launch a similar platform or choose to do drops around their events to drive traffic and interest.

WrestleMania 37 takes place April 10-11 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida. The event will stream exclusively on Comcast Corp's CMCSA Peacock network in the U.S. and the WWE Network everywhere else.
