As I boot up Fortnite in 2026, I can't help but feel a surge of excitement seeing my collection of WWE skins. The wrestling-themed cosmetics have become some of my most prized possessions in the game. The journey began a year ago when Epic Games dropped the Cody Rhodes and The Undertaker skins ahead of WrestleMania 41. I remember staying up until the shop reset, credit card in hand, ready to purchase both sets immediately.

The Undertaker skin, with its iconic entrance coat and hat, has become my go-to whenever I'm trying to intimidate opponents. There's something deeply satisfying about eliminating players while dressed as the Deadman himself. Cody Rhodes' American Nightmare attire, on the other hand, is perfect for those high-energy, aggressive matches where I'm pushing for eliminations.

These weren't Fortnite's first WWE collaborations, of course. The game had previously welcomed John Cena back in Chapter 3 Season 3, and later added Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair in Chapter 4 Season 3. But the Rhodes/Undertaker drop seemed to signal a deeper commitment to bringing wrestling's biggest stars into the battle royale universe.

My WWE Wishlist for Fortnite

As a lifelong wrestling fan, I've spent countless hours theorizing about which superstars should join the Fortnite roster next. After much consideration, I've narrowed down my top picks that I believe would make perfect additions to the game.

Jey Uso: Yeet Your Way to Victory

Since breaking away from The Bloodline and establishing himself as a solo competitor, Jey Uso has become an absolute phenomenon. His Royal Rumble victory over John Cena last year cemented his status as a main event player.

I can already imagine a Jey Uso skin with multiple styles reflecting his evolution from tag team specialist to singles superstar. The real seller would be a 'Yeet' emote that would instantly become the most used celebration in the game. Every time I secure a Victory Royale, you better believe I'd be hitting that Yeet emote!

His tribal-inspired gear would also make for excellent back bling options, and perhaps even a harvesting tool based on his championship belt. The possibilities are endless, and I'd empty my V-Bucks wallet in a heartbeat.

Rhea Ripley: Mami's Coming to the Island

If there's one wrestler who perfectly embodies Fortnite's aesthetic, it's Rhea Ripley. Her punk rock style, imposing presence, and fierce attitude would translate brilliantly into the game.

Ripley's already familiar with gaming crossovers, having appeared in Rainbow Six Siege in 2023. She even cut a promotional video for Fortnite OG, which had fans (myself included) begging for her addition to the game. Her distinctive look would fit right in alongside existing characters like Raven.

I'd love to see her entrance gear as a selectable style, complete with her signature spiked jacket as back bling. A "This is my brutality" emote would be the perfect finishing touch. Every time I eliminate someone, they'd know they just got dominated by Mami.

Roman Reigns: Acknowledge Him

The Head of the Table. The Tribal Chief. The longest-reigning Universal Champion in WWE history. Roman Reigns has been the company's most dominant force for years, and his imposing presence would make for an incredible Fortnite skin.

I can envision multiple styles for Reigns, from his tactical vest Shield days to his current Tribal Chief persona. His championship belt would make for perfect back bling, and an "Acknowledge Me" emote would be the ultimate flex after eliminating an opponent.

Roman's inclusion would also open the door for potential Bloodline-themed cosmetics. Imagine a glider based on the Ula Fala, or perhaps dual harvesting tools inspired by his championship titles. The possibilities are endless, and I'd be first in line to acknowledge my Tribal Chief by purchasing everything in his set.

Seth Rollins: The Visionary Arrives

Last but certainly not least on my wishlist is Seth "Freakin" Rollins. The Visionary, The Revolutionary, The Architect – whatever you call him, Rollins would be a spectacular addition to Fortnite's growing WWE roster.

What makes Rollins such a perfect fit for Fortnite is his ever-changing, flamboyant wardrobe. His outfits range from sleek all-black tactical gear to wildly colorful suits that would make any Fortnite character jealous. Epic Games could create multiple styles representing his different eras, from his Shield days to his current Visionary persona.

A "Burn It Down" emote would be mandatory, perhaps with flame effects similar to the Renegade Raider's fire variant. His iconic stomp finisher would also translate perfectly to a victory emote.

The Future of WWE in Fortnite

As I look ahead to the rest of 2026, I'm optimistic that we'll see more WWE superstars join the Fortnite universe. The partnership has been mutually beneficial, bringing wrestling fans to Fortnite and introducing gamers to the world of professional wrestling.

What excites me most is the potential for event tie-ins. Imagine special limited-time modes during WrestleMania season, or perhaps Royal Rumble-inspired battle royale variants where eliminations occur when players are thrown outside a shrinking ring.

My collection of WWE skins continues to grow with each new release, and I proudly display them in my locker. There's something special about dropping onto the island as The Undertaker, eliminating opponents as Cody Rhodes, and celebrating with John Cena's iconic "You Can't See Me" emote.

For now, I'll keep practicing my builds and edits while dressed as my favorite WWE superstars, eagerly awaiting the next collaboration announcement. Whether it's Jey Uso, Rhea Ripley, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, or someone else entirely, one thing is certain: my V-Bucks are ready, and so am I. 🎮 💪 🏆
