Wrestlevotes Radio on Fightful Select<\/a>, WWE has been in talks with the San Francisco Giants about a crossover merchandise and promotional collaboration centered around Jimmy Uso.<\/p>\nWhile WWE has a long history of linking up with other sports\u2014like the NFL, NASCAR, and NBA\u2014this potential partnership would mark a rare fusion with Major League Baseball.<\/p>\n
Sources mentioned that the Giants x Jimmy Uso collaboration would likely include branded merchandise and possibly even be reflected in Jimmy Uso\u2019s ring gear. That would make it more than just a shirt drop\u2014it could show up during his entrances or major matches.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was hinted on the show that this crossover could be integrated into Jimmy Uso\u2019s gear as well.\u201d But there\u2019s one key reason this deal didn\u2019t happen sooner. \u201cThe deal was held off because WWE Survivor Series was at PETCO Park, the NL West rivals of the Giants.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the holdup, the relationship between WWE and the Giants reportedly still exists\u2014and with Survivor Series now in the rearview mirror, this unique sports-meets-wrestling moment could resurface soon.<\/p>\n
If it happens, it wouldn\u2019t be the first time WWE leveraged mainstream sports fandom into storyline synergy and merchandising gold. But this time, it could come with a full Bay Area twist\u2014Uso-style.<\/p>\n
