Stephanie McMahon attended WWE’s third-quarter financial calls. She highlights the WWE’s capacity for product integration on broadcast while comparing it to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

To provide a context for brand integration, WWE tries to involve another brand’s product for promotional purposes. For example, the Zombie lumberjack match to promote the film “Army Of The Dead.” Through the brand integration, they got their hands on Bad Bunny and Logan Paul, who signed a new deal with the company. They take themselves to the mainstream level again.

WWE and NFL fans may remember Brock Lesnar as the Beast Incarnate. But not everyone knows Lesnar was a part of the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings as a defensive lineman. He played in preseason games and was involved in a famous spring training physical altercation saga.

Former Vikings wideout Nate Burleson revealed that Lesnar once ended a training camp brawl in 2004. He carried one of the Chiefs’ performers to Suplex City.

He said: “(Lesnar) came out, and somebody cheap-shotted Daunte Culpepper late, and Brock was like ‘who did it?’ The next play he went and suplexed the guy.”

Brock being Brock, he has laid almost laid dominance. Be it the NFL, UFC, or the WWE. And he continues to do so.
