We all know (unless you’ve been living under a rock) that WWE Superstar and member of The New Day, Xavier Woods, is a massive video game fan. The success of his YouTube channel Up Up Down Down has brought multiple opportunities for Woods outside the WWE, now including his own character in non-WWE video games.

Video game company Konami issued the following press release yesterday, revealing that Woods has his own character in the new release ‘Super Bomberman R’, which is available now for Playstation 4, XBox One and comes out today on PC and Steam:
