For decades, WWE has been a big name in the sports industry. The promotion is wholly based on Pro Wrestling and has been doing a great job in running the ring business. Even though there are several other competitors in the pro wrestling industry still WWE will be the best one according to fans as the promotion has a huge impact around the globe and has a very well-fledged roster.
However, there are several times that this big promotion has promoted their sport in many other franchises but it is very rare to see them partner. But a recent report confirmed that WWE and NFL these two companies have got into a licensed partnership.

This is a multi-year partnership, according to a WWE press release sent to SEScoops. This marks the first-ever official agreement between WWE and the NFL. Adam Schefter has also confirmed it in a recent tweet. WWE previously partnered with MLB back in August 2021 and recently it is known that WWE will most probably collaborate with UFC in the upcoming years.
WWE stars promoted WrestleMania 40 at NFL venues
Several WWE superstars, including a current champion, appeared at an NFL preseason game last week to promote the upcoming WrestleMania 40. A few weeks ago at an NFL preseason game in Philadelphia, the Eagles were taking on the Cleveland Browns, and three familiar faces popped up on the screen. Being interviewed at the game in support of the upcoming WrestleMania 40 event in Philadelphia this April, an interesting trio of WWE stars were featured in a segment.
Current NXT star Trick Williams, SmackDown star Grayson Waller, and Intercontinental Champion Gunther all appeared to hype up WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia which will be held next year.
