Rumors of an impending collaboration between Fortnite and WWE have been circulating over the past few weeks. The anticipation escalated when the WWE's official Instagram page shared images of renowned wrestlers Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair striking poses alongside Fortnite items.

While the post in question was flagged as an advertisement, it subtly hinted that the two wrestlers were 'preparing for something special.'According to the latest credible information about this much-discussed partnership, the wait for this intriguing collaboration is coming to an end soon.

Notable Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR has reported (as relayed by SpushFNBR) that the anticipated WWE crossover is set to grace the Item Shop on Wednesday, August 16, at 8:00 PM ET.

Furthermore, content creators will be granted early access to the skins a day ahead on Tuesday, August 15. The precise details of the crossover remain shrouded in secrecy, but fans can expect WWE stars Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair to make their virtual appearances through in-game skins.

Although it's worth noting that, as of the time of writing, none of Fortnite's official social media channels have officially confirmed the release date for the WWE collaboration mentioned above. Should this information prove to be accurate, Fortnite players are in for a thrilling surprise in the days to come.

The realms of Fortnite and WWE have intertwined in the past. For instance, in 2022, John Cena made an appearance on Fortnite Island, bringing with him a WWE Championship Title Back Bling.

Though The Rock didn't make a WWE-themed entrance, his likeness was utilized as the character design for Fortnite's 'The Foundation' character. Now, the upcoming collaboration will introduce two more wrestlers into the engaging world of the battle royale.
