WWE and PowerSlap Mobile will team up next week, with a new mobile game slamming the two together being available next Friday. During the latest episode of SmackDown, it was confirmed that the mobile game is coming and will be available on by Apple’s App Store as will as Google Play. Reigning Power Slap Champion Wolverine and WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio have been confirmed for the game already.
PowerSlap is an American slap-fighting promotion owned by Dana White, the CEO of UFC. Opponents take turns slapping one another in the face and have 60 seconds to recover from a slap and get back into position. Fights can end either via knockout or go to a judge’s decision after three rounds.
PowerSlap has faced criticism due to the severe health risks that competitors put themselves under, CTE researcher and former WWE Superstar Chris Nowinski (whose in-ring career ended due to concussions) observed during a contest one competitor showing signs of serious brain damage after repeated slaps. There have been calls from medical experts and politicians alike to have the show banned.
Merging the worlds of WWE and PoweSlap blends two entities linked to Endeavor, as White is part of TKO Group Holdings due to his role with UFC. Endeavor launched TKO, which merges WWE and UFC in September 2023, and recently brought three other acquisitions into the fold. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on WWE & PowerSlap Mobile as fans eagerly await this new mobile game.
