WWE Fans Are Going Nuts Over WrestleMania Backlash's Zombie Invasion
Promoting ‘Army of The Dead.’
Wrestling fans were treated to some unfamiliar programming over this past weekend at WrestleMania Backlash. As part of a cross-promotional match with WWE and Zack Snyder’s Army of The Dead, Damian Priest and The Miz’s bout became a zombie Lumberjack Match.
The match was met with a swarm of zombies, leaving fans confused and not sure how to react. While a decent amount of fans shook their heads at the shameless plug, the response was generally positive as the entertaining spectacle left a lot of people chuckling and shocked that the WWE was able to pull this off. Check out the Twitter reactions below. Something tells us Dave Bautista had a hand in this.
