From the content studio that is home to Legacy shows like

to the Arena to air out their personal grievances for episode

“WWE® is known for delivering quality entertainment to its loyal
fan base and we are so excited to partner with them to bring this
content to life and spotlight a mix of awesome talent," said G4
President Russell Arons. “The G4 network creates a fusion between
the worlds of gaming and popular culture. With Arena, we're making
a comical collision for fans of WWE, streamers, and celebrities
with a monthly series on TV, YouTube and Twitch where rivalries
will be resolved once and for all.”
“All of our work on UpUpDownDown over the past seven years has
brought us to this moment where we will see the wrestling and
gaming universes collide,” said Xavier Woods, host of Arena. I’m
psyched to partner with G4 and look forward to surprising our
UpUpDownDown fans with some new faces in gaming each month.”
Fans won’t want to miss the premiere on Wednesday, June 29,

Rollins and more. During the first challenge of each episode, the
Unbeatable Advantage presented by Xfinity will be awarded to the
winning contestant and provide them with the precious gift of time
