Get ready to lay the smackdown in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone: The WWE is coming to CoD as part of the franchise’s next collab.
The WWE will be “bringing its best to the ring in CoD” for season five, Activision said in a Twitter/X post today, which included a short teaser for the season coming on July 24. At the end of the video, three shadows can be seen approaching a wrestling ring.
It’s anyone’s guess who the three shadows belong to, but some educated guesses can be made. The shadow on the left might be sporting a bald head, which could be Stone Cold Steve Austin, but it could just as easily be current company face Cody Rhodes. The middle figure seemingly has a mohawk, which evokes Rey Mysterio Jr. for now.
The shadow on the right, however, could be just about anybody. They may have long hair, which could be any number of male or female superstars, such as previous legends like Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and the Undertaker, or current stars like Roman Reigns or Rhea Ripley.
There may even be a fourth, invisible wrestler in the teaser, too, which undoubtedly confirms John Cena as one of the participants. Either way, we should know more next week when the season five information begins to flow.
This crossover makes sense for the WWE since its SummerSlam premium live event is coming shortly after season five launches, which means both the wrestling company and Activision could use the event to promote the skin bundles in the store.
The wrestling ring is an interesting addition, though. It may be a new point of interest in any of Warzone’s maps, like Urzikstan, Rebirth Island, or Vondel, as it likely wasn’t made just for the teaser.
Season five of MW3 and Warzone begins on July 24.
