The WWE Superstar is one heck of a gamer

Xavier Woods is a WWE superstar, and one third of the reigning SmackDown Tag Team Champions The New Day.

But what many people don’t know is that Woods is also a keen gamer – and an extremely popular one, at that.

Woods’ YouTube channel UpUpDownDown has more than 2 million subscribers and pumps out new videos almost every day. But unlike other gaming YouTubers, he doesn’t just concentrate on popular games (as evident by his weekly Uno parties).

In this episode of the podcast we talk to Woods about all things gaming, including what he’s playing now, why he loves retro gaming cabinets and what the world of eSports can learn from the WWE.
