The roots between WWE and theGears of Warteam appears to run deep. Last year, the team addedDave Batistaas a skin inGears 5. Now, Big Dave isn’t an active WWE Superstar, spending more of his time yacking it up with that crew that guards the universe or whatever. However, the newest set of wrestlers to make their way into the Gears 5 universe are active talent.

As of this writing, it doesn’t appear that The New Day skins have a release date. They don’t appear to be a part of today’sOperation 5: Hollow Stormpatch. However, the materials might just not be updated yet. Either way, this is a super cool move for wrestling fans everywhere. Having three of the biggest names in the community featuring in a major video game is, without a doubt, a big deal. You also have to wonder if we’ll get any otherpro wrestlersdown the line.
It’s worth noting that, as briefly touched on above, this isn’t the onlyGears 5news today. TheHollow Stormpatchis bringing several multiplayer updates to the game. Expect several new fan-favorite characters and some familiar maps when you log on. And, of course, the new battle pass has tons of unlocks.
That said, The New Day’s invasion is the big news here. Expect to see Woods, Kofi, and Big E on the battlefield soon.Gears 5is available now onPC,Xbox One, andXbox Series X.
