WWE recently released inaugural collection of NFT Flips.
WWE fans will have extra incentive to tune into “WWE Friday Night SmackDown” on FOX when the company’s inaugural collection of NFT Flips each transform into a short video clip from last week’s premium live event “Hell in a Cell.”
The collection, released on WWE’s official NFT marketplace Moonsault and featuring more than 10,000 WWE NFT Flips for “Hell in a Cell,” went on sale last Friday and sold out in just under 24 hours. The secondary market where fans can trade and sell their WWE NFTs has been buzzing over the limited-edition collection.

Last month, WWE and the Web3 studio Blockchain Creative Labs (BCL) announced Moonsault during “SmackDown.” Moonsault is the official WWE NFT marketplace and allows fans to step into the ring and own a piece of the global brand, with Superstars, historic matches and iconic moments available in NFT form.
“The new, official WWE NFTs are here,” Sonya Deville explained on the Moonsault website. “A Non-Fungible Token is a digital, private property… it’s a one-of-a-kind digital media asset, whether that be a video of a classic WWE moment, unique art or anything else, and unlike other digital media, or physical collectables, it’s digitally verified on the blockchain.”

“With a WWE NFT, you’ve got exclusive access to the next era of WWE history. We’re talking fan-only online communities, digital events with Superstars, and tons of perks,” Deville said.
“Hell in a Cell” featured Cody Rhodes defeating Seth Rollins in the main event with a torn pectoral muscle. Before the match, WWE announced Rhodes suffered a torn pectoral muscle injury and made the injury worse while he was training for the match. He still managed to step into the ring against Rollins.
When the “American Nightmare” came to the ring and took off his jacket, fans saw the badly bruised right shoulder. He and Rollins fought to the bitter end, with Rollins putting his finishing maneuver on him a few times and even putting Rhodes through a table while they fought in the “Hell in a Cell.”
