WWE Has Teamed Up With FFXIV

I mean, it looks like an april fools joke

See, thing is... I'm not a wrestling fan so I'd be inclined to make the same assumption, but I've noticed multiple people both here and reddit claiming that it was true because of things they're seeing aired on the WWE channel, that kind of makes me want to question whether it's real or not. So I followed the link and looked over the WWE twitter, then did a quick google and found nothing from WWE's end, but I did notice on the Wrestlemania twitter, just a short scroll down the page, there's a tweet with a video of a cheering crowd that shows that big Stormblood banner in the background. So that actually does exist.

l tend to think it's more of a big advertising campaign than a crossover event though. Which is still exciting! xD

Well I highly doubt WWE could take the time to pull a april fools joke on XIV unless SE paid them to do so which I don't see SE going to through lengths just for a joke. Cause WWE was promoting XIV during NXT takeover last night. Cause I also don't think it a paid spot cause if really wanted to promote game to WWE fans it would been better to buy ad time for Wrestlemania (today 4/2) instead of yesterday during NXT.

I'll believe it when they reskin Nidhogg to look like the Macho Man in Final Steps, Ala Skyrim.

Going Old School:

Macho Man - MCH (Dresses like a cowboy)

Hacksaw Jim Duggan - WHM (that big 2x4 is like a staff

Rey Mysterio - NIN (cause he covers his face and is very agile, and ninja-y)

Triple H - PLD (could also be DRK with his like, dark king motif)

Pretty much everyone could be a MNK.

Well this is not something you expect to see upon waking up in the morning.

Wrestling... ugh really... not interesting at all I kinda hope its an April's fools though it's technically the 2nd of April here.

For people who don't know, Xavier Woods is a big fan of FFXIV.
He is a member of The New Day, a WWE tag team.
The New Day are hosting Wrestlemania this year, so they will likely have a segment where they just come out to the ring to talk.
Last year at Wrestlemania The New Day came out of a giant box of cereal dressed like DBZ characters.


So I would not be surprised to see them dressed like Samurai/Red Mages. Although I think Xavier plays a bard, so maybe he'll dress like that instead.

Let A.J. Styles does the dragon kick please.

I hate the WWE and pro wrestling in general. That said the 7 year old boy from the 80's would kill for an André the Giant or Macho Man glamour.

I have seen a macho man savage player standing around in Limsa before on my server. I am sure he will be pleased with this.
