WNBA Superstar A'ja Wilson Makes History With Latest Collaboration

A’ja Wilson added another accomplishment to her ever-growing list on Tuesday, landing a historic partnership with Wheaties.

Wilson is the first solo WNBA partner to be featured on the iconic cereal box, which will hit the shelves with her likeness later this summer.

General Mills shared the news with an announcement on Tuesday.

“A’ja is the definition of a Wheaties Champion - a generational talent whose leadership, resilience and commitment to empowering others has set a new standard,” brand executive Emilie Knox said in a statement. “She doesn't just dominate the game; she creates space for more girls and women to see themselves in it.”

Wilson, the back-to-back reigning WNBA MVP, is in the midst of yet another dominant campaign with the Las Vegas Aces. Through the first 14 games of the 2026 season, she’s averaging 25.6 points, nine rebounds and 2.2 blocks per contest.

“Being on the cover of a Wheaties box is one of those things you grow up dreaming about,” Wilson said of her new partnership. “For me, this is about showing every little girl what's possible when you dream big. I'm proud of the work, proud of the journey and proud to partner with a brand that celebrates champions who keep pushing the game forward.”
