The WWE Enters the Arena: A Massive 3-Draw Collaboration
One of the most exciting reveals for Season 9 is the official collaboration with WWE. For the first time ever, a single collaboration will feature three separate Lucky Draws, which is a huge step up from previous partnerships.
Dataminers have confirmed that these draws will feature iconic superstars like The Undertaker and Alexa Bliss. One of the draws is named Four Horsemen, which has led to speculation. While it could refer to the classic wrestling stable featuring Ric Flair, a more modern theory suggests it might be a nod to WWE’s Four Horsewomen (Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, and Bayley). The discovery of “WWE Exchange Coins” in the game files all but confirms this collab, likely allowing players to get discounts on the draws.
