Since starting his incredibly popular YouTube channel, UpUpDownDown, Xavier Woods has quickly become an important ambassador for the WWE as well as a crucial figure in the modern gaming media scene as a whole. Not only does he play some of the latest games, but he also hosts a number of massive events and frequently brings popular WWE superstars onboard for his playthroughs. An example of the latter can be seen in a recent video, where Woods brought on WWE's Liv Morgan and Alexa Bliss - both self-professed horror fans - as guests to play the terrifying Emily Wants to Play.
For those who have experienced the game before, they'll know that Emily Wants to Play favors frequent jump scares and a generally unnerving atmosphere above all else. Although it seems Bliss and Morgan were aware of the game's terrifying nature beforehand, they are seemingly completely unprepared to experience why the title has such an infamous reputation.
Playing in turns, Woods begins the game by walking around the house in search of a flashlight. Before long, he comes across the evil clown puppet known as Mr Tatters, which suddenly lets both superstars know what kind of game they've entered themselves into. Before long, it turns midnight, and Woods is stalked by the haunting doll Kiki. It doesn't take long for the New Day member to get caught by the doll, resulting in a huge jumpscare that Woods catches in slow motion. From here, Bliss and Morgan each subsequently take the reigns, with the former so terrified of the game that she keeps her eyes closed for the majority of her turn.
Each of the WWE superstars rotate a handful of times before deciding they're done with the game, never managing to make their way past the first hour. As is always the case for videos on the UpUpDownDown channel, it's fantastic to see some of the wrestling world's biggest faces hanging out and playing a game together, especially as they're rarely out of character when on TV or in interviews.
As many WWE fans will know, Liv Morgan was recently in the Elimination Chamber, where she lost to Shayna Bayzler in an intense match, while Alexa Bliss recently hosted the NWO on her "Moment of Bliss" segment on Smackdown Live. Xavier Woods is currently on leave from in-ring competition, with the WWE superstar suffering an Achilles injury late last year. Seeing all three of these popular figures coming together shows that the WWE locker room, despite what the on-screen rivalries may imply, is home to some incredibly strong friendships.
Emily Wants to Play is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
