To take the event to new heights, WWE Champions will move their in-ring combat outdoors and upstairs, with all matches taking place in a special rooftop party-themed arena atop a helipad.

The fan-favorite title blends match-3 puzzles with action RPG gameplay, and recently surpassed $200M in lifetime revenue.
