While Season 3 of Fortnite: Chapter 4 may have started off pretty slowly with very few updates or even content to get stuck into, Epic is finishing with a flourish with loads of new skins and collaborations. We’ve already see Terminator and Futurama in recent weeks, with Jujutsu Kaisen still on the way. Now, it’s time for WWE to make an appearance on the island.
Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch are usually rivals in the ring, with them both trading titles in a fantastic rivalry last year, but now they’re teaming up as the second collaboration with WWE in Fortnite (third, if you’re counting The Rock on a technicality). John Cena dropped on the island just over a year ago, and following the success of that crossover, it seems like we’re going to see more collaborations between the two mega-companies, starting with two of its biggest female stars.
Here’s all you need to know about Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch’s debut in Fortnite, including when they release, what they look like, and how much they cost.
Fortnite WWE Bianca Belair & Becky Lynch Skins
The collaboration was first teased by WWE on social media, with Bianca and Becky both pictured holding pickaxes and the caption saying that they were gearing up for something.
That something was inevitably skins that were leaked ahead of time by @barbieharpfn, who managed to get an early glimpse at them both.
Here’s a clip of the skins in-game.

Both skins are wearing some of their most iconic outfits, including the same outfit that Becky wore when she won the Raw and SmackDown Women’s Championships in a triple threat at WrestleMania 35.
The skins will also come with their own additional cosmetics, including Back Blings depicting the WWE logos and their slogans, pickaxes, and even an emote that shows a belt being lifted aloft.
Fortnite WWE Bianca Belair & Becky Lynch Skin Prices
While the skin prices aren’t confirmed just yet, it’s safe to assume that they will cost around the same as John Cena, who was 1,500 V-Bucks — itself about the same price as every other collab in the game.
Players will also be able to get their hands on a bundle that features both skins and all of their cosmetics for 2400 V-Bucks, according to the same leak from earlier, which almost seems like too good a value at 1800 V-Bucks off. We will just have to wait and see on that one but we will update this when we know for sure.
Fortnite WWE Bianca Belair & Becky Lynch Skins Release Date
UPDATE: the skins were properly added to the game’s files with a hotfix on August 15th, and the WWE skins will release into the Item Shop on August 16th ay 8PM ET.
ORIGINAL STORY: While their files are within the v25.30 update released on August 8th, 2023, the new duo of WWE skins are unlikely to launch on that exact date as Jujutsu Kaisen is the marquee collaboration for this update with a whole event pass dedicated to it.
If you’re itching to jump in the ring, expect both of these new skins to release within the following week. They will likely also stay within the Item Shop for a week before rotating out, probably returning to promote a marquee WWE event.
Fortnite is free-to-play on PC via the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Android.
