We recently reported on the fact that Pokémon GO has reached the level of awareness that it's being parodied by The Simpsons, and today we've got another example of the app's power to penetrate the consciousness of the mainstream media. In short, it got a mention during a WWE broadcast, which - in the US at least, is a sure sign you're onto something pretty big.
Xavier Woods - who is a member of current tag-team world champions The New Day and a self-confessed gaming addict - interrupted an interview segment to boast of his Pokémon GO skills, and even threatened to name all 151 of the Generation One monsters.
This piece of public Pokémon adoration already makes Woods a pretty cool guy in our eyes, but when you consider he rocks amazing shirts like this one, it was never really in doubt.
Thanks to Arjun Keval Joshi for the tip!

He has his on dedicated YouTube gaming channel known as up up down down where WWE superstars come on there and play old/ new games and has a triforce tattooed on his forearm.

New Day Rocks!!!
@6ch6ris6 Go look up The Final Deletion with the Hardy Boyz, you'll find it amusing regardless. XD
As if PokeGo doesn't have enough publicity...
I liked how random he sounds while talking about Pokémon Go without an apparent reason, but this video also reminded me how cringeworthy wrestling can be
Good stuff!
Vince McMahon even has Pokemon Go. Not sure if he got it first or no, BUT knowing Woods, Woods likely got it before he did.
More visual proof that WWE truly stands for Worst Wrestling Ever.
I loved that part of the segment, and managed to have a good laugh after he said it. Definitely a memorable moment for me.
Clap your hands for your TWO TIME CHAMPS! And the neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew LONGEST reigning Tag Team Champs in WWE history!
