It's WrestleMania weekend! And to celebrate the granddaddy of them all, we're taking a look back at the squared circle in gaming. Wrestling and video games have been in cahoots for years, even outside of the WWE. So why is this such a good pairing? Say your prayers, take your vitamins, 'cause we're about to find out.
A WWE 2K25 content creator has uploaded the attire worn by John Cena in his first appearance since turning heel before the episode of Raw had even finished.
The WWE game series has seemingly sold nearly 100 million copies worldwide, as announced in a new report by License Global.
Looks like great news for WWE fans. Thea Trinidad, also known as WWE Superstar Zelina Vega, has climbed to the top rope and somersaulted directly into Street Fighter™ 6 as the newest addition to the in-game commentator roster. Thea, a longtime Street Fighter™ fan, brings her strength, style, and electrifying personality to the growing roster.
I’m not big into the commentary feature but I think the option is cool for people who are, but listen, can we all agree this game is shaping up to look like the best Street Fighter of all time?
I think it has been a bit under the radar for some. I have heard from people who say they are big fans of the series but this is not getting them hyped. I said wait until convention season and when more news comes out as I am sure they are going to ramp up the promotion.
The group of fighter fans I know are really hyped for it from what they have seen . I don’t think the commentary will matter to them but the more complex set of moves do. That’s the major gripe of SF5 , clunky and simpler move sets .
I can get that, I guess. The last Street Fighter I really got into was 4 back on the 360. When 5 released I just heard it was bare bones and passed. This, however, looks absolutely excellent to me! Though, I’m not a hardcore fighter gamer, so I don’t have my finger on the pulse for Street Fighter fans.
Ofcourse some people have some complaints, but overall the community is hyped as can be.
I am sure it will do fine as any SF fans who might be on the fence will be right on the hype train and ready to play when it is closer to release.
With respect, nothing surpasses what Street Fighter II Turbo was and still is: unrivaled.
Haha, I hear ya. But I haven’t been this excited for Street Fighter in quite some time. It really looks like they’re trying to stuff this to the brim with content.
It was cool that Zelina Vega cosplayed as Juri, last night during the Royal Rumble.
I like it when they put people who actually have an interest in games doing them versus cramming a name in and pretending they are a gamer and know what it is all about.
Reminds me when Emily Ratajkowski partook in one of the trailers for Call of Duty Advanced Warfare. If you watch the interview you can tell she has never played a CoD game in her life.

COD frequently used celebrities in commercials like Peter Stormayer as the replacement to fill in for people.so they could play.
Cross over BS needs to go. WWE has zero to do with SF. Don’t give a f they are a fan of the series. Nice WWE M’lady cha-ching cash-in opportunity there guys. Just as sad as Farcry 6’s Stranger Things steaming pile of marketing.
Its all about expanding the market. There are WWE fans who will get the game now just because of her who would otherwise not be your typical buyers for the game.
It just works, both wrestling and videogames are escapism. No Mercy brought the action of wrestling and the fun of games in a holy union. That TNA game did not...
2k19 better be good
