Epic Games continues its tradition of blockbuster crossovers by introducing two of WWE's most legendary figures to Fortnite's ever-expanding roster. The Undertaker and current Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will make their battle royale debut just before WrestleMania weekend, bringing signature moves and iconic aesthetics to the Island.

This isn't Fortnite's first foray into sports entertainment. The game previously featured WWE-turned-Hollywood stars like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (as both himself and his Black Adam character) and John Cena. Current-generation WWE superstars Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair also received the Fortnite treatment, establishing a strong connection between virtual combat and squared-circle action.

The Ultimate Character Bundle Breakdown

Epic Games has confirmed extensive cosmetic packages for both wrestlers:

The Undertaker Set Includes:

• Two alternate styles: Ring Gear and Entrance Gear
• Dynamic Deadman's Eyes cosmetic effect
• Taker's Shovel Pickaxe
• The Urn Back Bling
• "Urn'd Respect" Emote

Cody Rhodes Collection Features:

• Signature American Nightmare outfit
• Cody's Cutlass Pickaxe
• Nightmare Mantle Back Bling
• "WOOOAAHH!" Celebration Emote

WrestleMania Connection

The April 18 release date holds special significance in WWE lore, falling just before WrestleMania's two-night spectacular. The Undertaker's legendary 21-0 undefeated streak at WrestleMania (1991-2013) made him synonymous with the event, while Cody Rhodes captured his first WWE Championship at WrestleMania 40 with The Deadman's assistance.

Potential In-Game Storylines

With John Cena (another Fortnite character) challenging Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41, players might recreate this rivalry on the Island. The Undertaker's inclusion also opens possibilities for supernatural-themed gameplay, potentially tying into Fortnite's ongoing narrative arcs.

Both wrestlers have extensive gaming histories beyond WWE 2K series appearances:
