They’re used to taking it to the mat, but this autumn, the stars of the WWE will be taking to the internet as part of a partnership with Hyundai to produce a 10-episode video series that features storytelling centered around the passion for enriching people’s lives. “Drive For Better” will appear on WWE’s digital platforms throughout the second half of the year.
“As an official sponsor of WWE, we are excited to be working together to share the personal stories of the Superstars and help put a smile on people’s faces,” said Angela Zepeda, CMO, Hyundai Motor America. “We both believe everyone deserves better and this series is representative of that.”
“WWE and Hyundai’s shared passion for supporting local communities truly makes this a rewarding partnership,” said John Brody, Executive Vice President and Global Head of Sales & Partnerships, WWE. “We are extremely grateful to Hyundai for their commitment and hope this series will inspire people across the country at a time when it’s needed most.”
The first episode of the series features WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and his recent virtual visit with patients at the Children’s Hospital of Orange County. It debuted in July and is posted on WWE’s digital platforms and the Superstars’ social media channels along with other episodes in the series.
The series is part of a larger partnership between Hyundai and WWE. The two brands have delivered custom content integrations across WWE’s global media platforms throughout 2020. Hyundai is also the Co-Presenting Partner of WWE Clash of Champions on Sunday, September 27 and will receive weekly exposure in Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown programming throughout the month of September.
In addition to the episodic programming, the partnership will work to promote Hyundai Hope On Wheels during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Hyundai Hope on Wheels is a charitable organization that recently provided millions of dollars in grants to aid with COVID-19 testing.
