They have now joined forces with Premier League football giants Manchester City for an exclusive collaboration.
They will release merchandise, combining the two sports brands into one collection.
This will include t-shirts featuring stars like CM Punk and their slogan “best team in the country and the world”.
The shirts will also feature Becky Lynch, Roman Reigns, ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin and others.
As part of this, City will wear a new name and number on the back of their shirts for their pre-season tour of the United States this summer.
It will have the WWE logo on the number and a red outline.
Fans will be able to purchase the new line by visiting the website City of Manchester, WWE or Fanatics online stores.
They will also be available at the pop-up CityStore at Rockefeller Center in New York.
This all comes as WWE Friday Night SmackDown takes place at Madison Square Garden on Friday, June 28th.
Serena Gosling, Director of Integrated Fan Experience and Retail and Licensing at Manchester City, said: “We are thrilled to announce the launch of our exclusive retail collaboration with WWE.
“As a club, we are always exploring new ways to improve our retail offering for our fans around the world and collaborations like this with WWE are part of that ongoing strategy.
“In addition, the announcement provides another point of contact for our fans in and outside the U.S. to engage with the club ahead of the men’s first team visit this summer.”
WWE legend and chief content officer Triple H added: “When you have the opportunity to bring together two of the most passionate fan bases in the world… you take it.
