Many brilliant minds at Capcom worked on the latestStreet Fighterinstallment,Street Fighter 6, and in a recent interview, some of the people who have created the game have expressed interest in working on a crossover between theWWEandStreet Fighterfranchises.
Street Fighter 6 Producers Would Like To Collaborate With WWE
Recently, producers ofCapcom’sStreet Fighter 6appeared for an interview with HipHopGamer and revealed that they are interested in working on a crossover betweenWWEandStreet Fighterseries.
One of the producers said:
On the team, they’ve done illustrations of Zangief fighting the Undertaker and stuff. Of course, if [I have] the opportunity, yeah, I wanna make it happen, but like, will they let me? That’s the question.
Later in the interview, HipHopGamer also contacted Nerds Clothing, an independent streetwear company based in New Jersey, pitching in the idea for merch since the brand owns licenses to both of these franchises.

Mortal KombatandStreet Fighterboth are indeed fighting games but their themes are quite different.Mortal Kombat‘s dark theme was probably not ideal for a collaboration. Yoshinori Ono said,
It’s true that a proposal for a Street Fighter character in Mortal Kombat was rejected by Capcom – but it wasn’t me personally!
It’s not like Capcom hates working with other franchises as they’ve worked with Marvel and Tatsunoko. Do you think fans will get to see aWWEandStreet Fightercollaboration in the future? If yes, let us know in the comments what would you like to see in the game.
