Capcom Could Look to WWE for Unthinkable Crossover Game – Ken vs Undertaker Sounds Like a Match Made in Heaven
Capcom is looking to capitalize on the successful addition of SNK fighters to Street Fighter 6's roster with some interesting new ideas.
Capcom is no stranger to crossovers in its fighting titles. Its ever-popular Marvel vs. Capcom has given many fans endless hours of entertainment and controller-breaking combo strings to unleash chaos and destruction across several arenas.
But Capcom could be looking to another popular source for inspiration on its next crossover if the company’s statements on a recent podcast are any indication – and a real treat for fans of fighting games as it’s something they have never seen before.
A New Kind of Royal Rumble
In an interview, the producers of last year’s Street Fighter 6 from Capcom expressed a lot of interest in a crossover with none other than WWE.
Showcasing artwork that it put together for a fight between the popular grappler Zangeif and The Undertaker, it is clear that Capcom has given some thought to the idea of what such a crossover would look like.
If the statement is anything to go by, the crossover is certain to take the gaming community by storm. It could also prove to be a very profitable move for the studio.
Capcom Certainly Knows How to Make Great Fighting Games Like Street Fighter
Capcom’s expertise in creating intricate combat mechanics is showcased across a vast majority of its titles. Fans of franchises such as Resident Evil and Devil May Cry will certainly vouch for the company’s ability to create titles that mix flashy combos with unique animations to create characters and gameplay that feel fresh and rewarding at every turn.

With an entire cast of iconic characters to pit against the ever-popular roster of WWE’s many fan favorites, this is a crossover that could see the company launch its biggest collaboration yet. Street Fighter 6‘s success highlighted how Capcom has retained its ability to deliver fighting games that keep players on the edge of their seats.
Considering that Street Fighter 6 was the first title to feature third-party characters in its DLC, with Terry and Mai from SNK making their way to the game, it is evident that Capcom is looking to push the boundaries of what it can do with its fighting games.
The conversation with Nerd Clothing is another highlight of the interview as it demonstrates how a crossover could be profitable to both Capcom and WWE in more ways than one – a sentiment echoed by fans of their titles.
While an official announcement from Capcom is yet to happen, fans of its titles would certainly look forward to pitting Ken’s unique take on martial arts against The Undertaker’s menacing strength. Either way, the future looks bright for the Japanese publisher’s evergreen fighting franchise.
