Can you smell what The Rock is cooking? What if what he’s cooking is you en route to earning the Juggernaut suit and a KDR of 2.75 in Team Deathmatch?? Well, just bring it, because there’s a good chance WWE fans will soon get a shot at using their favorite wrestlers in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
Infinity Ward, the developer of the game that has long been a global sensation and legendary franchise, is preparing to launch Season 5 on Sunday, July 14, and with a bit of … Flair (?) … to the occasion.
They’ve teamed up with WWE to make avatars out of certain superstars.

It is currently unknown which ones will get the party started but, if you’re into deciphering Easter eggs (I mean, who isn’t?), looking at the shadows in the above video seem to hint largely at The Rock being one of the first three you’ll be facing in small, action-packed maps like Shipment that require lightning-quick reflexes and wide open maps in Warzone combat — demanding a more strategic and precise plan of attack.
WATCH: Rhodes, Orton obliterated by Bloodline on SmackDown.
With Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes being two global icons as well, it feels as if one or both will make their way into the game, sooner or later, as well as legends and active superstars from the women’s division — e.g., Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan and/or Becky Lynch.
With no shortage of WWE superstars to choose from, be it a Hall of Famer or one who could very well be in the future, things should get insanely entertaining in Season 5 of MW3.
And that’s the bottom line, because Infinity Ward said so.
