It's Time To Play The Game

To start, Fortnite debuted an initial teaser trailer on social media that recreated one of the best WWE memes around.

After that, both characters began appearing in-game. Rhodes is donning his signature red, white, blue and gold overcoat, complete with his "American Nightmare" insignia on the boots and back of the costume.

Meanwhile, The Undertaker can be styled with either his trench coat and hat or in his all-black ring gear, with or without the hat.

As far as Backbling is concerned, Rhodes has one styled after the mask he wore at last year's WrestleMania. Naturally, Undertaker has an urn for his customization, which is very on-brand for the character. What's more, The Undertaker's urn can emit purple smoke.

As far as the Pickaxes are concerned, Rhodes has a Cutlass. As a major WWE fan, I struggle to see the relationship between the two, but alas. The Undertaker has a shovel, you know, for digging graves.

Finally, when it comes to Emotes, Undertaker can pour some purple ashes out of his urn. Again, very on-brand. But the real star is Rhodes, as his emote mimics his real-life entrance, complete with fireworks and the signature "Wooooaaaah" that the audience shouts with him. In all, it's a rather neat set of items for some rather popular wrestlers.
