What's Buzz-worthy: With my first one of these, I was left with an odd feeling thinking I had a fluke of a box but it turns out that there are a few stars on the Roster checklist that appear to be triple- or even quadruple-printed. People are finding those names in dramatically higher volume than others. Beyond that oddity, I think this one is strong -- a better look than last year -- but it's still one that, like its NXT counterparts, suffers with skinny stock that can be damaged during signing and packaging. Also, my box did have a number of Roster cards with lifted or tweaked corners -- not the typical tweaks -- but it may have just been my couple of boxes. (Others who did bulk breaks told me they didn't notice the problem.) This box once again included a numbered parallel -- and they are tough at one in 75 packs for the easiest that's not foilboard. The Orange I landed here is one in 98. Roster parallels apparently have parallels this time -- that's new -- but they are one in 533 -- 23 boxes -- to the point where people won't land them. A lot happened in the timeframe for WWE's women in this one so this is the home of many cards for new names and good photos really help out the highlights approach here along with that more full-bleed approach. I think it works pretty well and this is a strong finale. ... I have bought more of this brand than perhaps any other as there's always a lot to find -- and there is this time, too. There are some signers in this one who have never had ink before ... so I'll be watching them while some of you guys devour Prizm soon.

Product Grade: A- (better design than 2020 but see below)
