What goes best with driving heavily armed and armored military vehicles around? Summertime! Also, apparently, professional wrestling! The summer season arrived to both War Thunder and World of Tanks on console, just in two decidedly different ways.

As for World of Tanks, console players were “treated” to an hour-long WWE-powered event known as the SummerSlam Showdown. The event featured some vignettes featuring superstars Kofi Kingston and Big E of the tag team New Day, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, and Lacey Evans as they cooked food for military vets, took on several “challenges” involving a real-life MK5 Centurion tank, and a best-of-three faceoff in the game.
