The Original Moments

Inspired by WWE’s surprise returns, open challenges, dream-match faceoffs, hardcore brawls, and arena-wide WrestleMania chaos.


The Reimagining

WWE Ultraverse turns the WWE Universe into something literal: past and present colliding through cinematic portal reveals across the arena. Instead of one match contained inside the ring, the entire stadium becomes the battleground, with legends emerging to confront the current roster in real time.


The Details

  • Transparent LED portals hidden across the arena until activated

  • Attitude Era-inspired portal language: red, white, black, grit, sparks, and scratchy motion texture

  • Matchups split across crowd zones, the main stage, backstage-style platforms, ringside, and the ring

  • Ring posts, apron, barricades, and ramp LEDs activate as part of the portal system

  • Crowd moments include Edge, Lita, and The Hardy Boyz matchups unfolding inside the stands

  • Stage moments include Kane’s fire-heavy portal reveal and Mick Foley’s hardcore backstage environment

  • Ring moments include The Rock vs. LA Knight as the iconic faceoff and The Undertaker’s supernatural portal reveal through the canvas

  • Modern application adapts the portal into a Make A Wish backstage reveal experience with Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns
