WWE now allows fans to get in the ring with their favorite wrestlers with the help of virtual reality.

WWE announced a partnership with NextVR Tuesday morning. The company says that episodes will be free and will feature highlights from select WWE events. Fans will be able to view on both the NextVR app and a new WWE channel.

“I’ve used it with the [Google] Daydream View,” he said. “I’ve seen it, and it’s absolutely incredible.”
