My First AEW Opening

I ordered three blaster boxes of the 2022 Upper Deck AEW product at least a year ago and am just getting to it now. Well, the first box at least. I don't have any cards in the set still, so great chance the first will do well since I need, well, everything.


Times change as we have Jade and CM Punk now in WWE. The rest were definitely top names of the roster at the time. Personally, wouldn't mind some Britt Baker, Darby or Jungle Boy if I was looking for non-WWE people.


The packs look like the blaster box - or vice versa - and we pull one for keeps in the unopened pack collection.

A first pack to open though...

Orange Cassidy was doing well for himself in AEW in 2022, and continues to. We get WWE related names with Billy Gunn, Sydal, and Pillman Jr. Heck, we get Tony who has been everywhere too.

Happy to get a Britt right out of the gate, and a Pyro parallel to boot which are every four packs while the gold appear in every other pack.

Solid design and appreciate the roster approach to the base set. A great start.

  1. Glad to see Billy Gunn still wrestling. I remember him from his days with The New Age Outlaws.

    1. Where I remember him most from as well. Better than his earlier times as part of The Gunns tag team.
