The "I came out for my match but now we have commercials, a recap segment, a backstage segment unrelated to my match, a commercial for the PPV, another backstage segment unrelated to my match, an ad break, a recap to explain my storyline, and THEN my opponent's entrance" downtimes will be so immersive. They will also be measured in a unit of measurement counted in the durations of FF7's Knights of the Round. Vince then tells you that it's such good shit.

You will endure 2hrs or ads before and after each quest oh and no skipping or else you get fired. YouTube: "2 hours? What is it, a 5 minute game?" Gotta pad out the game somehow. And 3 of those 5min will be $50 DLC because gotta maximize profit and stupidity.

Vince would probably be so captivated watching someone cheese Emerald Weapon that he'd sell the company and just play dorkshit endgame power trip flex FF7 for the rest of his days. That's how we'll save WWE. Let him powerlevel Aerith to her level 4 limit break and someone else can write a coherent show instead

They probably mean "RPG" in the sense of grinding through content for incremental numerical boosts, but I'm totally imagining a BioWare-style pro wrestling RPG right now. The morality meter goes from Respecting the Business to Grabbing the Brass Ring, changes in your status being indicated by icons of Bret or HBK.
Everybody on the roster is romanceable, of course.

I hope it's another TTRPG... it'll look great on my shelf next to the WWF Basic Adventure game and Know Your Role... >_> ![](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/OhgAAOSwoONhGkw0/s-l1600.jpg) Just what everyone wants to see... Bob Holly's bald ass head front and center... >_>

I wouldn't be surprised if the next step is to start mandating X hours of streaming or Y amount of social media posts a week in the near future. Wrestlers backed off hard once they were told that any side work they did would be held against their downside and they would essentially be working to save WWE money for some nightmare goblin shit reason, and that means their bid to monetize wrestlers' free time failed. Now they have to go harder and make people do it. It'll be great when guys quit over this. I mean it's not the ONLY reason for it... but it was allegedly one of the many reasons Adam Cole didn't re-sign.

Well considering they can't even really do their bog standard pro wresting games right, my expectations are not super high.
Or do they mean that this is WWE tabletop DnD thing, and would that mean they would claim rights to any storylines the DM comes up with since their creative dry well has now completely bottomed out?

Some of my fav WWE games had RPG elements (like HCTP's season mode is very RPG-y) so if done well it could be super great. My worry would it be just being a mobile thing.
I wonder what studio/publisher they're working with for this.

I really hope this is an honest to goodness fantasy rpg and not just a wrestling game with some rpg mechanics.

An RPG is just going to be a gacha game.

Stephanie is talking about creating WWE brand Rocket Propelled Grenades to sell to the Ukrainians. Another revenue stream.

I’ve always said that WWE needs to take the rich imagery created for their… well, universe, and amp it up for games outside the traditional scope of the average wrestling game. Like the mobile fighting one a few years back, it wasn’t much but there were some cool character concepts from it. Or the proposed one from before THQ went under where the final boss was gonna be Vince in giant robot armour.
