Even more so, Candy Digital will become WWE’s main NFT provider that will attempt to capture the best moments, illustrate superstars in pro wrestling and create commemorative assets that will belong to their owners.

Michael Rubin, who is the CEO of Fanatics, highlighted that WWE is probably one of the most recognized sports/entertainment companies, and Candy Digital’s initiative will help "WWE’s passionate fans worldwide celebrate their favorite Superstars, marquee events and the WWE brand overall."
