Wrestling Merch Actually Worth Your Money Ahead of WrestleMania 41

We are officially in the thick of it. With AEW Dynasty happening this weekend and WrestleMania 41 looming over Las Vegas next month, the wrestling world is running at maximum velocity. Naturally, that means the merch machine is working overtime to separate you from your wallet.

Most of it is plastic junk or t-shirts that shrink three sizes after one wash. But every now and then, something drops that actually feels worth the shelf space or the reading time. I spent the last week going through some of the most talked-about recent releases to see what holds up.

Here is the honest truth about the latest figures and reads hitting the community right now.

WWE Elite Series 110 - Roman Reigns

Look, even in 2026, Roman Reigns is the final boss of this industry. The Elite Series 110 figure tries to capture that late-run, untouchable aura, and for the most part, it succeeds. The tattoo detailing is surprisingly crisp for a mass-market figure, and getting the Undisputed Universal Championship scaled down is a nice touch.

But let's be real about the drawbacks. Finding this in the wild is basically impossible right now. Scalpers have made it a nightmare, and the secondary market prices are absurd. If you can grab it at the retail $24.83, it is absolutely worth it for the interchangeable hands and poseability. Just do not pay double that to some guy on eBay.

AEW Unrivaled Series 17 - Adam Copeland

Jazwares has been hit or miss lately, but they clearly put the budget into Adam Copeland's AEW debut figure. The new 'Face2Face' scanning tech they are using finally gets rid of that dead-eyed stare some of the older Unrivaled figures suffered from. The likeness is spot on.

The soft-goods entrance duster is excellent, allowing for some dynamic shelf setups without the restrictive plastic coats we used to get. However, the tiny accessories are a massive pain. If you breathe too heavily, you are going to lose the extra hands. It is a premium-feeling figure at $24.99, but keep it away from kids or pets.

Funko Pop! WWE: Cody Rhodes #152

As Cody gears up to defend the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41, his merch is everywhere. This specific Funko Pop captures the 'Hell In A Cell' torn-pec era, which is arguably the match that cemented his current legendary run.

It is a Funko Pop. You know what you are getting here. The gear paint is well done, and at $19.99, it is an easy pickup. The main issue here is shipping. Over on r/Wrestling_Figures, half the posts are people complaining about Amazon shipping these in soft bubble mailers. If you are an in-box collector, buy this one in person to avoid a crushed corner ruining your day.

MOX by Jon Moxley

If you are burned out on plastic collectibles, read this. Moxley's autobiography has been out for a bit, but it remains one of the few wrestling books that does not feel sanitized by a PR department. There is no ghostwriter here, and it shows in both the best and worst ways.

The book reads exactly like Moxley cuts a promo—gritty, rambling, and completely authentic. The non-linear structure can be incredibly jarring. He will jump from a brutal CZW deathmatch story straight into a random thought about sandwiches, then back to WWE frustrations. It is a fantastic, chaotic read for $22.10, but definitely spring for the audiobook if you can. Hearing him narrate his own madness elevates the whole experience.

The Verdict

If you only have the budget for one pickup this month, it depends on what kind of fan you are. Toy collectors should hunt down the Copeland figure for the sheer quality of the sculpt and articulation. But if you want something that actually gives you insight into the business, Moxley's book is the best twenty bucks you can spend.
