Wrestling Fans Can Attend Shows Virtually With WWE, Cosm Partnership
Have you ever wanted to attend a WWE show in-person, but couldn’t make it to the event? Through a new partnership between WWE and the leading immersive technology, media and entertainment company Cosm, fans will be able to immerse themselves into an event — virtually.
Through the partnership, fans will be able to delve into “Shared Reality” at Cosm’s experimental venues: Los Angeles’ Hollywood Park and Grandscape in Dallas. They’ll be transported ringside to arenas and stadiums around the world, offering them a front row seat to WWE Premium Live Events, following alongside the action at best-selling events like WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Royal Rumble.
Both Hollywood Park and the Grandscape feature large-scale, 87-foot-diameter 12K+ LED domes, bridging the virtual and physical worlds by merging state-of-the-art visuals with the energy and atmosphere of the crowd.
“At Cosm, we bring fans together to experience the biggest and best events in the world, wherever those events may be taking place,” Peter Murphy, Senior Vice President of Media and Content at Cosm, shared in a statement. “Now, we get to showcase the WWE in Shared Reality, delivering another incredible way for fans to experience their shared passion.”
Alex Varga, WWE’s Co-Head of Revenue, noted that “Cosm is redefining the future of fan experience.”
“WWE Premium Live Events are larger than life, and with such an innovative partner in Cosm, we will collectively bring the energy of our biggest moments to an expanded WWE universe,” Varga said.
The first event of the partnership is Royal Rumble, which fans can attend via Cosm Dallas on Saturday, February 1.
This is the latest partnership for Cosm; the company has partnered with the NBA, UFC, NFL, ESPN, NBC Sports, TNT Sports, FOX Sports, Prime Video, CBS Sports, and more. In addition to its current venues in Los Angeles and Dallas, Cosm plans to open its third location will in downtown Atlanta’s Centennial Yards, while its fourth venue will be located in downtown Detroit, adjacent to Campus Martius.
