The new collection includes six unique T-shirts that blend City and WWE branding. Among the standout items is a T-shirt featuring the slogan “best team in the land and all the world,” inspired by WWE star CM Punk. Other designs pay homage to wrestling legends Becky Lynch, Roman Reigns and 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin.

This design incorporates the WWE logo within the numbers and features a striking red outline, symbolising the partnership. This unique look is expected to attract considerable attention and set a trend in sports apparel.
