WWE Brawl

WWE Brawl was a cancelled platform fighting game based on the professional wrestling organization WWE. The characters would battle in Brawl City, consisting of various venues that were entirely destroyed and matched Superstar and Diva personas, for example, a boneyard that strongly suited The Undertaker. It would set the narrative for the game, with the protagonists most likely being John Cena, Triple H, and Kelly Kelly, attempting to stop a conspiracy from the main antagonists, Mr. McMahon and Edge. The story was changed numerous times during development and was not fully concrete by 2012, although each wrestler’s story would remain the same throughout.

Such was WWE and THQ’s enthusiasm over Blue Tongue Entertainment’s work that WWE was interested in expanding WWE Brawl beyond just being a game. In particular, action figures, a clothing line, and a cartoon series were considered, most likely to appeal to children whom the WWE had begun targeting since the company’s television shows went PG in 2008. WWE Brawl’s development became a priority, leading to Blue Tongue Entertainment halting work on other projects to focus on the game.
