Tyler1 and Imaqtpie lead WWE stars in a League of Legends clash this Saturday

If you haven’t watched WWE in the last few years, you should know that most wrestlers are nerds now. The new collaboration between League of Legends and WWE isn’t as weird as it might once have been, but it’s still pretty weird. Especially as Tyler1 and Imaqtpie have each started coaching a team of wrestlers with a final showdown between them to happen this Saturday. Imaqtpie heads up Team WWE, which includes Cesaro as Sion, Tyler Breeze as Ezreal, Ruby Riot as Vi, and Seth Rollins as Teemo. Tyler1 is coaching Team NXT, which has Adam Cole as Draven, Dakota Kai as Miss Fortune, Shayna Baszler as Illaoi, and Johnny Gargano as Poppy. If you’re out of the wrestling game, the WWE folks are those on TV every week, while NXT is the developmental brand where the up-and-coming stars come through. (The fact that NXT remains a more consistently entertaining show than televised WWE is another issue entirely.) This is all predominately being hosted by WWE’s Xavier Woods, who - alongside his wrestling career - hosts the gaming YouTube channel Up Up Down Down. League of Legends is currently sponsoring WWE, and that deal has trickled down to give us a high profile clash between eight wrestlers alongside Tyler1 and Imaqtpie.
