The new collection will include six T-shirts featuring Manchester City and WWE, such as a CM Punk “Best Team in the Land and All the World” shirt and other tees featuring Becky Lynch, Roman Reigns and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin design inspiration.
As part of the collaboration, Manchester City and WWE have jointly designed a new name and number style that the the Premier League professional football club’s players will wear in their games scheduled to play during a preseason tour of America this summer. The design features the WWE logo within the number and a red outline.

The Premier League trophy will also be in store Friday and throughout the weekend.
