EL SEGUNDO, Calif., April 14, 2025 – Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT) and WWE, part of TKO Group Holdings (NYSE: TKO), today announced a multi-year extension to their global licensing agreement which sees Mattel continue to produce a wide range of WWE products including action figures and accessories, playsets, roleplay items, vehicles, and vehicle accessories.
Mattel and WWE have partnered to deliver a dynamic and diverse lineup of toys since 2010, now sold in over 50 markets worldwide. Mattel’s WWE action figures have consistently ranked among the top 10 properties in the U.S. action figure category, with the WWE Main Event Action Figure Series being the longest-running continuous action figure assortment in history.

“Our longstanding partnership with WWE has resulted in some of the most celebrated action figures in the industry,” said Josh Silverman, Chief Franchise Officer at Mattel. “As we extend this agreement, we are committed to delivering authentic, high-quality products that capture the energy and larger-than-life personalities of WWE for fans across the globe.”
