WWE could be stepping up to the plate with Major League Baseballliterally.
According to a new report from Wrestlevotes Radio on Fightful Select, WWE has been in talks with the San Francisco Giants about a crossover merchandise and promotional collaboration centered around Jimmy Uso.
While WWE has a long history of linking up with other sportslike the NFL, NASCAR, and NBAthis potential partnership would mark a rare fusion with Major League Baseball.
Sources mentioned that the Giants x Jimmy Uso collaboration would likely include branded merchandise and possibly even be reflected in Jimmy Usos ring gear. That would make it more than just a shirt dropit could show up during his entrances or major matches.
It was hinted on the show that this crossover could be integrated into Jimmy Usos gear as well. But theres one key reason this deal didnt happen sooner. The deal was held off because WWE Survivor Series was at PETCO Park, the NL West rivals of the Giants.
Despite the holdup, the relationship between WWE and the Giants reportedly still existsand with Survivor Series now in the rearview mirror, this unique sports-meets-wrestling moment could resurface soon.
If it happens, it wouldnt be the first time WWE leveraged mainstream sports fandom into storyline synergy and merchandising gold. But this time, it could come with a full Bay Area twistUso-style.
