WWE and the leading MMA apparel company TAPOUT collaborating?

WWE is close to reaching a deal with TAPOUT

All the rumors surrounding America’s leading MMA Apparel Company TAPOUT being approached by WWE about a licensing deal, was cleared by Tapout co-founder and Vice President Skrape. He clearly mentioned that nothing has been sorted out as of yet, but it looksl like they are exploring about some partnership which could materialise in to something big in the future. This deal seems to be similar to UFC’s new deal with Reebok where Tapout would sponsor WWE and its Superstars. Skrape took to Twitter to let the fans know about the current status:

The spokesperson of WWE has addressed the story as well, and released the following official statement regarding the subject:

“WWE is exploring several partnership opportunities, however we have nothing official to announce at this time.”

I've had lots of messages regarding a WWE deal. We are exploring several partnership opportunities, but there's nothing to announce rite now
